If Bart's point wasn't already clear enough, Don Jr. somehow managed to underscore, in an angry tweet, why his father's decision was a reflection of his cowardice and his vanity:  Dad knew that he was going to get booed.  Trump claims to be a family man.  Yeah, he's a family man, the way Susan Smith was a family woman.

Its a non issue
LOL!

LOL. You cannot even keep track of what you want to respond to, can you. I assume you will never admit the error.

This just in....

A state court in North Carolina ruled that the congressional map is so severely gerrymandered to benefit Republicans that it can’t be used in 2020.

This ruling comes a month after the same three-judge panel ruled that the state’s legislative maps are also unconstitutional.

Republicans currently control 10 of the state’s 13 seats in the House of Representatives. In 2016, when the current maps were made, Republicans admitted in writing that they wanted to use partisan data to give their party a 10-3 advantage. GOP mapmaker Thomas Hofeller, after receiving his cancer diagnosis in May 2016, wrote in an email reviewed by The New Yorker: “I still have time to bedevil the Democrats with more redistricting plans before I exit."

The ruling today is a preliminary injunction that orders the state not to use the current congressional maps for the 2020 elections as the lawsuit challenging the districts proceeds. Judges said that advocacy groups are poised to show “beyond a reasonable doubt” that the maps violate the state constitution.


The mills of justice ground fine today.

Thank God he did not tell Democrats! Something might have leaked.

In a statement to constituents released on Wednesday, Hill admitted to having an inappropriate relationship with a campaign staffer before entering Congress, for which she apologized...   

Imagine Trump admitting to such a relationship before becoming potus....and then apologizing.   And then resigning, for the sake of the office and the country. 

Imagining revocation of gravity and squaring the circle is much easier.

This is the perennial problem of politics -- people with a conscience leave, sociopaths hang on forever.

Cant really believe she resigned.  I guess her heart wasnt really in the job.  Was RECRUITED for it - was sold a bill of goods - and feels there is better use for her time, surely.

Yeah, must be lack of heart rather than her thinking she had let down her constituents and had lost her effectiveness for them.

Someday, Kid, you might understand people with a conscience, but I guess it isn't going to be this decade.

Same as dad's grabbing women by the pussy or his paying off a lover to keep quiet.

Non-issues to you, Kid.

So Nancy relents to GOP pressure and will call for a House vote to proceed with “ public” hearings in an impeachment process. What else could she do when her  critics have been right but she refused to concede their point?
So she throws MSNBC, CNN, and the NYTimes under the bus for her previous skip-the-vote stance.


Lindsay Graham takes a well deserved victory lap.

Trump is no less caught outright guilty.

ISIS is no less unconstrained.

Syria and the Ukraine are no less fucked.

Idiots have one less process point to whine about.

Cards on the table time as the moron gets increasingly dangerous.

Dude, you have no idea how this works.

Nancy Pelosi is a boss.

Republicans have been screaming about process because they can’t argue the facts. Their whole posturing bullshit (frat boy SCIF panty raid, demanding a vote) was just like a kid who doesn’t really want to throw down but dares you to knock the chip off his shoulder and then, “Oh, yeah? I dare you to do it again!”

And then AG Barr dropped this desperation load in his drawers:

https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/doj-says-itll-be-irreparably-harmed-if-congress-gets-its-hands-on-muellers-secret-grand-jury-materials/?fbclid=IwAR2P-zkm1pmQvfV9LFRMBtNgag07fY6e1wtSXSvfAS2TtCVT9K7wbABOlH8

Trump Administration is a corpse that still has temporary use of its arms and legs or as my grandma used to say, “They’re running around like a chicken with its head cut off.”

You wanted a vote so you can cry to the nation about how unfair the process of impeachment is in trying to overturn a duly elected president. How it just isn’t right.

Well, DC May be a liberal town (says the conservatives and moderates who run this joint) but when the Big ?Guy comes out for his victory lap (to celebrate killing a guy who made most of the nation say, ‘Yay! We killed who?’) baseball fans representing the 55% who can’t stand the motherfucker let the whole world know where Trump stands.

You wanted a vote?


Well every fucking GOP House Member and Senator gonna have to step up and take a side, and then they’ll be fucked for going against the orange skinned traitorous asshole or scorned for letting him run loose for so damn long.

Y’all are fucked if you do and fucked if you don’t... except Mitt Romney. The GOP can’t touch him and once in the minority he’ll have no juice outside Utah.

Your party is fucked.
