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

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.

I heard that line during the Reagan era.

Good Grief

The saga began after RedState, a conservative website, over the weekend published a series of articles and photos reporting that the lawmaker had been involved in a relationship with a female campaign staffer whose name was not released. Among the content published by RedState was a nude photo of Hill.

"Intimate photos of me and another individual were published by Republican operatives on the internet without my consent," the lawmaker told The Hill, referring to the materials as a "smear campaign."

Conservatives only gonna be conservative until there's pron involved.

What's being done to Katie Hill - who, let me be clear, is a very attractive young lady - is a disgrace.

reading other people's text messages is so cringe. I am going to treat every text now like I am making an appt at the dentist.

My significant other complains but honestly that how I roll

That’s fine for those of us who aren’t sleeping the dentist

ugh, the pet names in the texts are the worst.

The pet names are fine, it's us reading the texts that's the worst tbh

they call each other shithead, stinker, butt, babe... i can't decide which one is the worst.

why are you reading anyone else's texts, just stop

Well, yeah... I just feel reading them at all is more uncomfortable than judging their pet names. I do get you though. (butt?! really?!)

This is like poring over leaked video of a public figure wiping themselves and critiquing their technique.

what are you guys even talking about

What's being done to Katie Hill - who, let me be clear, is a very attractive young lady - is a disgrace.

oooof

I feel like the alleged Iron Cross tattoo Katie Hill has on her bikini line in one of the pics might be the harder part to spin. (Alleged because I've only seen it mentioned in articles, not going to try to seek out the leaked pics myself).

republicans posted nude photos of a democratic member of congress? what the fuck?

lol who are the GOP Senators that don't automatically support this

Senate Republicans introduced a resolution on Thursday condemning the impeachment inquiry against President Trump and calling on the House to hold a formal vote on the inquiry.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is spearheading the resolution, which is backed by 44 GOP senators including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).

The GOP senators not cosponsoring the resolution as of Thursday afternoon, according to a list from Graham's office, are: Sens. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), Mike Enzi (R-Wyo.), Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) and Rob Portman (R-Ohio).

There you are -- the ones mos in danger last night.

gosh, "condemn" is just such a strong word, I'm not sure that's really the road we want to be going down right now.

republicans posted nude photos of a democratic member of congress? what the fuck?

No, RedState did (I think). And as we all know, there is a huge difference between RedState and the GOP

I just think we need to look at all the facts before we figure out exactly how best to ignore them. For the good of the country.

I am kinda surprised about Enzi though, is he really at risk in fuckin Wyoming of all places

Maybe he has a small chunk of a conscience rattling around in his cold dead heart? It is weird, I agree

Less that. Enzi is retiring, so why give a fuck?

I think actually her soon-to-be ex husband gave the 'nude' picture of her to RedState. FWIW the nude picture is still, to me, fucking hilarious. It could only be better if someone were also in the frame eating a salad or something.

"Right In Front of My Salad!" indeed...

Nothing funny about revenge porn

What is ‘Horowitz’ to Fox chuds, you guys? My mom’s been saying this is the thing that will send our precious Dems to JAIL. (her emphasis, Lord help us)

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2019/10/inspector-general-fisa-report-carter-page-russia-investigation.html

Essentially the new yorker’s borowitz report has gotten so unfunny that the GOP is holding the democratic party criminally liable for it.

It’s horrible, hence “horowitz”

Neanderthal, I think you misspelled "Lamar!"

Lol nobody's going to jail

It'll be a boring procedural doc that Republicans try to spin as a game changer until Trump tries to fuck a penguin on live TV
