This is a bit different, Rudy’s basically confirming an impeachable offense was committed while in office (the Ukrainian readout of Pence and Trump communications appears to do much the same)

Co-signed! It’s irritating, but it’s cleansing, and necessary. Like having a fresh road-rash cleaned out with a wire brush. You gotta sit through it, but just think how good it’ll feel when it stops.

The dossier reads as follows: the boys are dumber than dirt, one daughter he wants nothing to do with and the other he wants to fuck. Nothing there we can exploit.

Yeah, this is part of it. CNN and Trump scratch each other’s backs. I’m convinced Trump rails on CNN specifically because he knows they’ll continue to cover him breathlessly as long as he does so (and because his crowds eat it up). I’m not saying there’s some shady conspiracy here, but CNN exists to make money for…

It’s hard to go off the rails when the train hasn’t even been in service in 20 years.

I honestly get confused by the whole thing because MSNBC is light years more liberal than CNN and never gives this administration the time of day, yet Trump always calls out the one non-Fox channel (not counting OAN and the adjacent garbage) that will actually listen to his insanity.

Call anyway. They pay attention to phone calls in particular and you might make him retire even if you don’t scare him in to doing the right thing. Lots of republican Congressmen are fleeing Trump’s Cartel.

Damn it; don’t ever make the mistake of reading Rudy’s comments on anything within the first 30 minutes of waking up. Not only did I hurt my brain trying to understand, I found myself wanting to call into work and crawl back into bed.

it’s the courtroom scene from A Few Good Men only without good men

There was a Rick James True Hollywood Stories quality to this:

This is a bad take. Frustration, alongside normalization, is a main part of their game plan.

I am perfectly willing to believe there was a time when Rudy Giuliani was a competent, intelligent, and effective lawyer.

I am of the ardent belief that time passed at least twenty years ago, if not before. His run as “America’s Mayor” was perhaps a final gasp of performative decency (and I stress “performative” here—I…

Of course we did, but because we did it it’s not illegal! 

Rudy: “Of course we asked for the Ukraine’s help but only to uncover the foreign influence that was used by the Clinton campaign! And we’ll keep on looking for something, anything, and insinuating that there was foreign interference to distract from the Trump campaign’s own guilt in accepting Russian assistance that…

It’s hard for these old senile men to keep track of all the different lies.

I hope Cuomo enjoyed that as much as I did. 

It’s been a minute since Brad Pitt did anything that made me proud of him, but I’ll take this. He seems to be a genuinely nice person, once all the self-aggrandizing bullshit of celebrity is washed away. I went to school with one of his cousins and from all accounts their family is as functional as any in rural…

Did you see Cake? The Good Girl? She’s talented, not as much as

Good for him. The problem with society leaving women to this protector approach is it still centers the men. Women are their wives, girlfriends, sisters, nieces. The violation is not happening to real people, it’s happening to their wards. And if you are not worthy enough to be claimed as some man’s relative, you are…
