US Politics, October 2019 — I guess statement you could say with thread. I made a thread. The thread was PERFECT.

Hmm, of course.

Rudy Giuliani is looking for a defense attorney, sources sayhttps://t.co/qp8u1IA9RN

— Mike Warren (@MichaelRWarren) October 24, 2019

but he's so good he can defend himself, no?

Fool for a client etc.

He's so good he doesn't even *need* to defend himself.

I am not a lawyer but it seems pretty clear to me that if you are the president's lawyer you are allowed to commit crimes because executive privilege, etc.

6) Fox is told there was never any chance mbrs who barged into SCIF would be arrested by USCP wBut some mbrs members asked to be arrested. They wanted the optic of being frog marched out of the SCIF in front of TV cameras. That would help w/GOP narrative of Dem process abuse

Apparently our man Barry is supposed to speak at Cummings’ service so coverage of this could lead to the heart attack we’ve been hoping for

dummy just said he's building a wall on the Colorado border

It borders Second Mexico

New Mexico gon' pay!

2 Mexico

2 Furious

missed this detail earlier

In fact, Mr. Trump is said to have given them a thumbs-up the day before. On Tuesday, he “met with about 30 House Republicans at the White House to talk about the situation in Syria and the impeachment inquiry,” at which time the members “shared their plans to storm into the secure room,” Bloomberg News reported. Mr. Trump told them he thought it was a good idea.

trump + these thirty are going to be like the alamo only if you weren't sure how to reload the guns

I guess statement you could say with tweet. He made a tweet. The tweet is perfect:

(Kiddingly) We’re building a Wall in Colorado”(then stated, “we’re not building a Wall in Kansas but they get the benefit of the Wall we’re building on the Border”) refered to people in the very packed auditorium, from Colorado & Kansas, getting the benefit of the Border Wall!

*curb your enthusiasm music plays *

how surprising that his clarification makes less sense than the original statement

I'm glad he cleared it up for us, he's got my vote back.

He said this in Pennsylvania, right? How many people from Colorado and Kansas were there?

I don't know why it's so hard for us to tell when President Ragestroke is just kidding around. It must be so exhausting for him to have to explain all of his flights of whimsy after the fact.

I know it gets said a lot but just lmao that people are basing their entire personality around this guy and alienating all their friends

if they're alienated then they weren't really your friends

growing up in the south, everyone i knew HATED donald trump as the perfect embodiment of what a rich, crass, shitty yankee was; i gotta believe that regional division still burns bright in their heart if someone can just give it a little push
oh that warren had a southern accent

semi xpost:

I know he theoretically has 99% support among Republicans, but I wonder if by the end he'll have alienated enough people that next November instead of talking about "Reagan Democrats" political reporters will have to start talking about "Warren [or Biden, or Sanders] Republicans."

Ah, who am I kidding? Political reporters never give up their treasured mythological frameworks. And yes, Morbius, we all know Warren used to be a Republican. Save it.

I don't know if all these ride or die Trump supporters are thinking that relationships that disintegrated over their support will be fine again when Trump is gone.

I will not stop pissing on my neighbor's car even after Trump's removal

xp knowing my dad, yes (he's wrong)

Andrew Napolitano: "As frustrating as it may be to have these hearings going on behind closed doors ... they are consistent with the rules. ... When were the rules written last? In January of 2015.

That news sounds...fake.

Was there any place where people DID like him prior to this bizarre befuddling cult? He was a joke since he appeared on public stage

Republicans really are the dumbest of all the fucks.

ohhhh, I bet Trump is shitting an unelected fake brick at that clip

Graham is facing increasing pressure from Trump’s allies, who have used the #WheresLindsey hashtag on Twitter in recent days to call on Graham to more strongly defend the president from impeachment.

lol

Lick that boot, Lindsey!

gonna be a lot of GOP posturing/headline dominating today while the Dems are all off at Cummings' funeral

I don't really care about this Katie HIll thing aside from wondering in what scenario it seems like a good idea to brush the hair of your fully dressed lover while completely naked, while she scrolls through her phone, sitting between your open legs, and have someone else take a picture of it? The mind boggles.

Was it already noted that yesterday's shenanigans coincided with Pelosi being gone for her brother's funeral?

I would like to make it clear that I am deeply troubled by recent suggestions about building a wall around Colorado

I am okay with it as long as Nevada pays for it.

lol at Trump having the same geographical knowledge of the West that most East Coast folks have

like people in Philadelphia think that Arizona in is "the South"

~ scrolls up bemusedly ~

wtf is the katie hill thing

where does this come from? who/what is covering this? have never heard of it

what on earth

Any president who is impeached and acquitted should be permitted to serve a third term, writes William Mattox https://t.co/1nNkJF0GoY

that would require a constitutional amendment so good luck w that

haven't read the article, but i assume the argument is any president who had to deal with a bunch of bullshit from the opposing party deserves another term.

hmmmm, wonder if any recent presidents would feel like they had to deal with a bunch of bullshit from the opposing party, hmmm

set up the strawman, knock 'em down, that's what i say

Katie Hill is everywhere afaict
But yeah I hadn’t heard of it until now
Bubble bubble bubble

Katie hill story that is

oh dang, she's a US Rep. I just assumed she was someone mentioned in a string of deep state FBI messages, possibly involving "the lovers"

the WSJ's sapient op-ed page also said that Trump was too incompetent to impeach.
