Tiny cracks in the wall a pile of rubble eventually do make...

Oh, look!

Susan Collins has a new topic to pretend she has a conscience about until push comes to shove and she actually has to vote.




Exactly.

Susan Collin's occasionally dips her toe into her pool of tsk tsking, but then runs away, as she's afraid of getting wet and pissing off Mitch.

Blue wave's coming Susan and the water's fucking cold.

The SCOTUS session just starting will do her no favors.

Not that I’m looking forward to it.

And a spectacular new series, so good it will be airing on multiple networks at multiple times!

Love it.

Are you a "whistleblower" if someone already blew the whistle?

Not so sure

On the “fake news” of Trump (and his elder son’s) Anti-Semitism:

Like “corruption” Trump & co only concerned about bigotry when they can use it to serve their interests.

DUMB & DUMBER……
So…..The second dumbest individual in the Trump administration (Trump himself) wants to set up the dumbest (Rick Perry) to take the fall for the Ukrainian disaster. Tremendous……Perfect. You couldn’t hire writers to create a comedy script as dumb as this.

Lol. So any further corroborating witnesses and evidence are weak source, as you eat up the “president” calling the allegations fake news.

heh

well, no - evidence is always important - WHEN it is evidence

Calling all acts of Trump asking for nations to check on US candidates - wihth no offer of anything for it - is NOT such evidence.  (Got that, Jessica Tarlov?, who roasted Trump this morning on Fox for his calling on China's investigative help)

You have no idea what this second whistleblower will call out, beyond corroboration of the first one.

And the defensive position that it is all good as long as there is no quid pro quo is a) wrong b) already been called out as such by a few Republicans and c) has already been overrun by the facts (see text messages that just came to light. Probably did t come up in FOX coverage)

https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=(title:52%20section:30121%20edition:prelim)

Quote
  §30121. Contributions and donations by foreign nationals
(a) Prohibition
It shall be unlawful for-

(1) a foreign national, directly or indirectly, to make-

(A) a contribution or donation of money or other thing of value, or to make an express or implied promise to make a contribution or donation, in connection with a Federal, State, or local election;

(B) a contribution or donation to a committee of a political party; or

(C) an expenditure, independent expenditure, or disbursement for an electioneering communication (within the meaning of section 30104(f)(3) of this title); or


(2) a person to solicit, accept, or receive a contribution or donation described in subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (1) from a foreign national.

   

Still illegal, as has been patiently shown to you several times here.   No QPQ needed.  (though it's pretty obvious here, as NA has pointed out)

Pretending people have not responded with accurate information to your comments, then pretending you didn't see that, is pretty childish.  Kid, indeed.
