So I keep hearing this rumor, most recently from Jeff Flake, that there are 35 (or 30 in some tellings) GOP Senators who would vote for impeachment if there were a private vote.  That's lovely, but since the US Senate doesn't have any such thing as a private vote on resolutions of this type, I'm not sure what to make of all this secret harboring of a conscience deep down inside where the sun never shines.

It means they have no integrity.

They don't have the courage of Trump's being convicted.

But it also means that if they get enough cover, they might well come out of the woodwork.

If you ask me, Trump has an HD video of Lindsey Graham skinny dipping with a tutu wearing manatee.

The Dead Parrot Sketch in real life.

https://www.mediaite.com/tv/katy-tur-brutally-grills-trump-adviser-over-biden-claims-why-is-ivanka-is-getting-copyrights-in-china/

“it’s fairly clear that a government official cannot be connected to activities where their family or they may personally profit.”

Oh!  Well that's good to know.

I told y’all back in Spring we’d end up right here. Too many jurisdictions conducting too many investigations with too many lawsuits to defy discovery by said investigations.
If it hadn’t been the whistleblower (Manna!) If would have been something else.

This was a matter of WHEN and not IF.

The tide has turned and now ALL prior bad acts are looked at in a different life because the GOP defenders can’t use the Jedi Mind Trick on THIS so even the Dead Parrot Sketch has been blown out in the last week, “No, no! Hunter Biden is the REAL story!”

Now, these House hearings are gonna have to be run by the pros just the way the GOP flew in a ringer for the Kavanaugh hearings. Democrats Steve Cohen (D TN) needs to hire a social media guru to present his views for the folks back home and stay the fuck quiet in the goddamn hearings.

This shit is about to go and once it starts ...

Dominoes baby, dominoes. It’s all coming down and thank The dear fluffy lord that it’s all because of Rudy’s mouth.

Rudy is the catalyst to all this, the Alpha and the Omega. It will come out at some time in the future Rudy’s loyal soldiers in the FBI NYC field office basically forced Comey’s hand in the damn “Her emails” dirty bomb.

Rudy told us ahead of time on an October 25 2016 edition of ‘Fox and Friends’

“We’ve got a couple of surprises left,” he said. “I’d call them surprises in the way that we’re going to campaign to get our message out there — maybe in a little bit of different way.”

“You’ll see and I think it will be enormously effective.”


Rudy’s mouth just got Secretary of State Mike Pompeo subpoenaed by three House committees.
That sound you hear coming across the ocean is Bibi Netanyahu slapping his forehead in despair.
The Mullahs in Tehran are giving praise to Allah for answering their desire to see the Tiny handed Satan smited (Smote?) by the Flaming Sword.

Stay tuned. The show’s about to start.

As Larry said:
https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/27/politics/kurt-volker-resigns/index.html

Volker was the Special Envoy to Ukraine, appointed by Tillerson.

I laughed at this.
"The State Department has not returned messages seeking comment."

And this was curious:
The story was broken by The State Press, Arizona State University's school paper.
