So what's the 'hook' for your Trump supporters? Is it just tax cuts, judges and Hillary's emails, or are god, guns, gay, flags and fetuses in the mix?
I know it would've been a dinner disrupter at the least but pointing out that the forbearance shown by Trump supporters toward criticizing Trump would be as scarce as hens' teeth if Obama or Clinton had exactly the same events rolling out under their watch, including Russian help to win their elections.
i see that every time I see a focus group where a Republican says RE impeachment, 'we need to know more, not yet...'.
I absolutely know that would not pertain to a Dem president.
I get it. But if public opinion continues to shift toward impeachment, as it IS doing, those so called '30 GOP Senators say in private...' could go public.
Regardless, let them, let all GOPERS up for reelection, run on their statements of support for Trump made during his 'trial'.
Not sure what the equivalent impact to that of the Saturday Night Massacre would be, but we're coming up on the 46th anniversary of that event.
It does seem to me that these rolling, damaging, hearings and subpoenas are becoming an interminable massacre leading to an inevitable cracking of support for Trump, and or Trump's actual crack up.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturday_Night_Massacre
The Saturday Night Massacre is the name popularly applied[1] to the series of events that took place in the United States on the evening of Saturday, October 20, 1973, during the Watergate scandal. U.S. President Richard Nixon ordered Attorney General Elliot Richardson to fire independent special prosecutor Archibald Cox; Richardson refused and resigned effective immediately.
Nixon then ordered Deputy Attorney General William Ruckelshaus to fire Cox; Ruckelshaus refused, and also resigned. Nixon then ordered the third-most-senior official at the Justice Department, Solicitor General Robert Bork, to fire Cox. Bork considered resigning, but did as Nixon asked.
The political and public reactions to Nixon's actions were negative and highly damaging to the president. The impeachment process against Richard Nixon began ten days later, on October 30. A new special counsel was appointed on November 1, 1973,[2] and on November 14, 1973, a court ruled that the dismissal had been illegal.[3][4]
Less than a week after the Saturday Night Massacre, an Oliver Quayle poll for NBC News indicated that, for the first time, a plurality of U.S. citizens supported impeaching Nixon, with 44% in favor, 43% opposed, and 13% undecided, with a sampling error of 2 to 3 per cent.[14] In the days that followed, numerous resolutions of impeachment against the president were introduced in Congress, and the impeachment process against Richard Nixon was underway.
However, the House Judiciary Committee did not approve its first article of impeachment until July 27 the following year – more than nine months after the Saturday Night Massacre – when it charged Nixon with obstruction of justice. Two more articles of impeachment quickly followed.
Within two weeks, Nixon had made the decision to resign; following a televised speech in which he announced his intentions, he did so on August 9, 1974.
10 SIGNS THAT THE DAM HAS BROKEN & WE WILL SOON BE RID OF AGOLF TWITTLER: Saturday's Good News
Agolf Twittler’s days in power are numbered.
I am not sure if it will happen because the Senate will vote him out after the house impeaches him (or makes a deal with him to step down) or if it will happen because he will head into 2020 in such a mess that we will have the intense pleasure of voting him out decisively (honestly, I am hoping for that one), but I am sure that MFer is going down.
The dam has broken. This is different than anything we have seen.
We are at a pivotal, beautiful, and slightly terrifying moment in American history.
And I am so in for it!
So let’s get going with our list. Here are 10 signs that the dam has broken and that we will soon be rid of Agolf Twittler.
1. The Evidence Against Him is Damning
2. This is but the tip of the iceberg
3. This Arrest of Rudy’s Buddies is a BFD
4. He is Losing the Right Wing “Religious” zealots
5. We are getting those financial records
6. Republicans are slowly starting to defect
7. Rats are leaving the ship
8. Democrats are all over this

I just hope that Rudy and his lawyer are invited for an 'interview' on the same floor where Rudy once served as U.S. Attorney.
First the irony of it will strike him, and then he'll think...."this must be, I hope it is, the part where I'm dead, right?"
Meanwhile, in the SDNY office, investigators chortle to themselves, "that's not what our court authorized surveillance of what Rudy said/texted shows."
Hyperbolic nonsense. Second on the list of misused words by righties, after fascist, is coup.
If the military moves against Trump, if he is arrested, then we've got a coup. Not unless or until. Period

Giuliani Is Said to Be Under Investigation for Ukraine Work
Source: New York Times
WASHINGTON — Federal prosecutors in Manhattan are investigating whether President Trump’s personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani broke lobbying laws in his dealings in Ukraine, according to two people familiar with the inquiry.
The investigators are examining Mr. Giuliani’s efforts to undermine the American ambassador to Ukraine, Marie L. Yovanovitch, one of the people said. She was recalled in the spring as part of Mr. Trump’s broader campaign to pressure Ukraine into helping his political prospects.
The investigation into Mr. Giuliani is tied to the case against two of his associates who were arrested this week on campaign finance-related charges, the people familiar with the inquiry said. The associates were charged with funneling illegal contributions to a congressman whose help they sought in removing Ms. Yovanovitch.
Mr. Giuliani has denied wrongdoing, but he acknowledged that he and the associates worked with Ukrainian prosecutors to collect potentially damaging information about Ms. Yovanovitch and other targets of Mr. Trump and his allies, including former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his younger son, Hunter Biden. Mr. Giuliani shared that material this year with American government officials and a Trump-friendly columnist in an effort to undermine the ambassador and other Trump targets.

To every lying Republican shitstain who claims that "The troops LOVE Trump":
I defy you to produce one single grunt that served with our Kurdish allies in Syria who is able produce a single sentence in reference to their C-in-C that would make it past the censors for the nightly news.
And by the way, folks, those Kurds didn't fight "side-by-side" with our guys. They were out front, and usually WAY out front. Tip of the fucking spear, baby.
We lost guys as well, and I honor their memory; but for the most part, we were uphill and in the rear, providing the Kurds with intel regarding where they could go to engage the bad guys. And THOUSANDS of those fighters were killed (including hundreds of women who were captured, raped, and then murdered.)
But now Lard Butt wants to cut them loose because he was in a hurry to get off the phone with Erdogan?
For the love of God, you sociopathic asshole, can't you TIVO Lou Fucking Dobbs in order spend a few more minutes ensuring that some of our staunchest allies aren't left to the murderous whim of yet another dictator whom you envy?
But rest assured, friends, Lindsey Graham's next "tsk-tsk, Mr.President" will be in ALL CAPS!
Sometimes the degree to which I've come to despise Trump and the enabling sycophants that surround him frightens me.

Sooo much losing. I wonder if he is sick of it yet?
Toensing said. “We do what we do.”
Uh, huh. What they do is piss on people inside and outside of their fucked up tent.
I think it's safe to say that Lawrence O'Donnell just scored the Trump BURN of the DAY.

When you think of all the people Trump has betrayed in his presidency and his life including all of his wives, it’s all the more impressive that he has never betrayed Putin.

That sounds like a 'possible burger', to me.

'Acting president' says goodbye to another 'actor'.
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan is leaving the administration, President Donald Trump tweeted Friday evening.
"Kevin McAleenan has done an outstanding job as Acting Secretary of Homeland Security.
We have worked well together with Border Crossings being way down. Kevin now, after many years in Government, wants to spend more time with his family and go to the private sector.... ....Congratulations Kevin, on a job well done! I will be announcing the new Acting Secretary next week. Many wonderful candidates!"
The move comes amid a rolling leadership shakeup at the department. Six other top department officials have resigned or been pushed out since April, including former Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

The polls confirm that more people agree with me about Trump than don't. As I said watch Rasmussen, though I think Fox News is the canary in the coal mine.
What do you suppose the AG of the U.S. had to say to Murdoch, in Murdoch's home no less?
What you mean is that you have no facts to credibly rebut what I've posted.
Here's a fact, Trump likened his risky sexual experiences in the '80's as 'his Vietnam'. Nothing about his conduct remotely suggests that he is an honorable man.
I served, and I absolutely know how the military's physical exams worked.
Tiedrich nails it again:
Jeff Tiedrich @itsJeffTiedrich
Rudy's partners: arrested
Cohen: 3 yrs in prison
Manafort: 4 yrs in prison
Stone: in deep shit
Flynn: awaiting sentencing
Congressman-1: so fucked
Individual-1: facing impeachment
Hillary: enjoying a nice walk in the woods, probably
Me: laughing at all you "lock her up" morons

You do realize it was originally circulated, more appropriately, RE Trump?
He's the asshole on the transcript saying he 'needs a favor though', while holding up supplying arms to Ukraine fight his buddy, Putin.
What do you suppose Pooty has on Trump, that makes Trump such a toady to Pooty?
Irony must not be your strong suit, as Trump is now underwater against every Dem candidate and in Fox News Polls as well.
When Rasmussen shows the same, you'll know Trump is finished.
Most of the country thinks he's for shit and not a day passes without him confirming as much.
This flesh out how you feel, just a bit more?
The Second Coming
https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43290/the-second-coming
By William Butler Yeats
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Likening Putin's bitch to a lion is about as funny as it gets.
Remember, you're talking about Cadet Fucking Bone Spurs who just cravenly sold out the point of our spear against ISIS.
The man has no loyalty, no honor and no balls.
Head over here, quickly, to see how much of a half-life my lead in to your graphic will have...

Random Observations on the Latest Trump Batshittery (TBD)
I was about to write something about Trump's total batshittery last night in Minneapolis, but I'm waiting until after tonight's batshittery in Lake Charles because that dumb orange motherfucker is in my family's neck of the woods.
Look forward to him going bigger on the Peter Strzok orgasm since he got a laugh with it last night. He'll be humping the lectern or some MAGA cretin's head.
Watch this space.

Sadder still, by far, is the cowardly support for Trump by GOP Senators and Reps.
Those are elected GOPERS. The protestors are NOT the Dem Party.
I don't defend the use of the word pigs, but still well short of chanting 'the Jews will not replace us' and driving a car into a crowd now isn't it?
Only a moral imbecile fails to see the lack of equivalence.
Which IS the argument for the Trump administration taking a principled stand on supporting the Hong Kong protestors.
Thank you for helping me make that point.
You DO know that Trump is unsympathetic to any protestors not carrying Tiki torches.
The only thing that give Rudy pause anymore is his prostate.
The Ukrainians won Rudy over with the promise of a steady supply of fresh Transylvanian earth, at a fair price, for the inside of his coffin.
Melania was charging him too much.
Hey shithead, do you want to share with us the statement from our president, and or State Dept., expressing support for the Hong Kong protestors?
So many trump conflicts of interest in plain sight that they numb justice, overwhelm the rule of law and result in total denial from his comprehension challenged nitwit supporters.
There, tidied it up a bit for you.
