The 148th Week of Trumpskis Titanic Tantrum!

President Coronary Thrombosis Perfectly Healthy, Just Likes Making Surprise Hospital Visits

Did the president have a heart attack this weekend? We should know enough not to expect a straight answer. Donald Trump made an unscheduled trip Saturday to the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Sources reportedly told Andrew Vernon, a contributor to The Hill, that Trump was being examined for chest pain. That seems a more likely explanation than what part time White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham offered us. She said in a statement that Trump had some down time so he proactively went to the hospital to have his oil changed.

GRISHAM: "Anticipating a very busy 2020, the President is taking advantage of a free weekend here in Washington, D.C., to begin portions of his routine annual physical exam at Walter Reed."

Trumpski just needed another bucket of fried chicken!

‘Deep inside, Donald Trump is a very empty and sad person’: Psychologist John Gartner warns the president is on the verge of a ‘hypomanic episode’

Many reporters and journalists have described Trump’s recent behavior as manic. Concerned observers highlight Trump’s tweets, which have greatly increased in number.

A hypomanic episode is not the same as a manic episode. “Manic” is only partially accurate in describing Donald Trump because when somebody is manic, they think they’re Jesus Christ, which means they are psychotic and usually end up in the psychiatric hospital. But when someone’s hypomanic, they become more agitated, more energized, more impulsive. They act out more aggressively with poorer judgment. A hypomanic person does not listen to anybody. They do not delay their activity. They do not accept feedback from anybody else.

This means that a hypomanic person can act quickly, impulsively and urgently, with poor judgment, in ways that will have predictably catastrophic consequences. A person with that temperament can, in moments of stress, devolve into something that is a psychiatric disorder. Essentially, everything gets accelerated for the worst. This is what we are now seeing with Donald Trump. When this will really become an even greater crisis — a crescendo in his dangerous behavior — is when Donald Trump starts making catastrophic moves internationally. He could start a war.

Yep, he could start another war!

Probably the quickest way to determine if it was a heart attack or a stroke is to check to see if Melania is smiling.

Yes, you Trumpettes are stupid enough to think that's relatively a good thing.

When the wish is the father to the idea

It will be so fun to reread all this crap once this latest bag of crap fails to work. This is such a rerun from the Russia hoax and it is like none of the Libtards learned a thing or woke up at all. Just keep listening to CNN and all the other little whore media outlets that make up shit and peddle half truths. Draw conclusions based on your Peter Pan dream fantasies. Connect the imaginary dots all you want. Have fun. But at the end of the day historians are going to reveal what a brainwashed mass of people swallowed the fake news propaganda.

If Trump and his merry band are so innocent why is he trying so hard to obstruct and prevent people from talking? Wasn’t he going to drain the swamp and be the most transparent administration ever?

Rudy Giuliani was not just working for Trump — he also said he worked for Pence: State Department testimony

The revelation is likely to bring increased scrutiny on Pence, who already has a significant known role in the Ukraine scandal. He delivered messages from Trump to Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelsnsky, and one of his aides testified that what was being asked of Zelensky was “inappropriate.”

Charge on Troops!

I for one welcome our new overlord, ... President Pelosi! Muuuhahahahaha!

As Pilot has reported:


‘I don’t know how Secretary Pompeo is not dragged in’: Ex-FBI counsel says Secretary of State must testify

On Monday’s edition of CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time,” former FBI general counsel James Baker told Chris Cuomo that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has to answer for the allegations laid out in the impeachment testimony.

They were trying to achieve these other objectives and they were going to either do it by forcing the career people to go along and compromise their values, quite frankly, or they were going to do it through the Giuliani channel.”

“This speaks to a foreign policy gone awry,” said Baker. “And as you were saying earlier, I simply don’t know how Secretary Pompeo is not dragged in. If he doesn’t come in to talk to the impeachment inquiry, then the Senate and House Foreign Relations Committees need to ask him, like, how were you conducting and supervising the foreign relations of the United States, with respect to Ukraine? It doesn’t seem as though he was in charge.”

“They shouldn’t have to subpoena him, though,” Baker added. “He’s a Senate-confirmed cabinet official and he has an obligation to appear before Congress and answer questions. He shouldn’t have to be subpoenaed. That’s ridiculous.”

Will Mike go under the bus quietly?

Investigation picking up steam after IRS whistleblower claims political appointee meddled with audit of Trump or Pence tax returns

U.S. Senate investigators are probing a whistleblower’s complaint charging that a political appointee may have “meddled” with an IRS audit of either President Donald Trump’s or Vice President Mike Pence’s taxes, or the returns of both.

Of note is the investigation is bipartisan, and is moving forward, The Washington Post reports.

Investigators are on the staffs of both Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Vice Chairman Ron Wyden (D-OR).

I see, the man who left New York CIty because of the Taxes, may have done some jiggery pokery at the IRS?

That might be Impeachable, you think?

‘Something nefarious going on’: Obama deputy chief of staff doesn’t buy White House claims on Trump’s health

“And Jim — quickly, before we go — there is this additional element of, we have not seen the president. And when this controversy erupts, one of the first things I think you would do is say, let’s get the president on camera, let’s show him, let’s show that he’s doing just fine,” O’Donnell said. “And Donald Trump inviting in the cameras is something they do all the time, but not since he’s gone to the hospital.”

“Yeah, it’s his favorite thing in the world, him being on TV is what he loves more than breathing, so the easiest thing would be to trot him out at the White House and do a quick photo op,” Messina said. “Anything would be easy.”

“And why didn’t they do that?” he wondered.

Let's hope it's not a remake of "Weekend with Bernie"

CNN legal analyst flattens Rick Santorum for ridiculous impeachment defense of Trump

Former GOP Sen. Rick Santorum was shut down on CNN for his latest defense of President Donald Trump.

Santorum was effectively arguing for people to ignore the words coming from Trump.

“Wait, this argument is insane,” Carrie Cordero said. “You cannot argue that the president of the United States’ words do not matter or that he’s just sort of spouting off or he has his own views.”

One could argue that Trump's words are as irrelevant as Santorum's. They come from the same viewpoint.

It's only Tuesday of the 148th week, and the Wing Nuts are spinning a tale of Rethuglicunts winning the Impeachment. Tomorrow Sondland is up and he has got to spin a hell of a tale to not be the fall guy in Trumpski's Gas Pipeline conspiracy.

Face the fact wingnuts, Trump is dirty and will make the Rethug's fall. Only the Real Republicans can save the party now. Throw out the Tea Party Astroturfers and evangelical Jesus Humpers. Go back to just toeing the Chamber of Commerce line and forget grifting, you're bad at it.

As an outsider looking in, my two cents:

The republicans should toss out Devin Nunes and Jim Jordan. From yesterday's first set of witness's ( I didn't get to see all of the second hearing) questioning/statements of "fact witness's", they did nothing but imply "facts", which when boiled down are just their opinions on unproven or possibly debunked theories.

They did a great job of grandstanding and distorting, but to me, they did not offer up much proof/doubt to offset the out in the open facts that seem in collaboration with the Whistleblowers letter.

I found the question from people such as Chris Stewart,Elise Stefanik, and at times (Dan Radcliffe? others who's names I forget), which were well thought out, directed with out a buried veil of anger and disgust, to be much more effective in trying to offer up doubt, given the out in the open facts surrounding what I would call the Ukrainian scandal.

If this was a "baseball" game, I'd say time to change up the batting order for the Republicans.

PS get rid of the opening statements too, for all parties. Yes the witness's should be able to enter evidence of their experience, job qualifications etcin an opening statement. After that get to the questions.

WATCH LIVE: Day 5 of the Trump impeachment hearings

On Thursday morning the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence will hold its fifth public impeachment hearing looking into allegations that President Donald Trump abused his office by attempting to pressure Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky into announcing an investigation that would benefit the president politically in return for releasing $400 million in much-needed security aid.

Thursday hearing will testimony by Fiona Hill, a former Europe and Russia expert at the White House, and David Holmes, an embassy official in Kyiv.

As the New York Times notes, “Ms. Hill is expected to describe her concerns about the Ukraine pressure campaign and those of John R. Bolton, the former national security adviser. Mr. Holmes will be asked about a cellphone conversation he overheard in which President Trump asked an ambassador about investigations he wanted Ukraine to announce.”

‘Frustrated’ Trump going through manic mood swings as he watches impeachment hearings unfold

“On Wednesday, Trump was frustrated, defiant and uncharacteristically terse.”

With the report noting Trump snapped, “I want nothing! I want nothing! I want no quid pro quo. This is the final word from the president of the United States. I want nothing,” and not taking questions on Wednesday, the pressure on the president is becoming increasingly evident.

Kep up the Pressure Adam, he's cracking!

House Dem sends warning to Mike Pompeo and John Bolton: ‘Your day is coming — ask Manafort and Michael Cohen’

“There is a judge about to decide the McGahn case, that’s going to be a very important precedent, and I’m going to predict the White House isn’t going to like it,” Maloney said. “That’s going to arm us with additional legal arguments.”

“I think the day is coming when John Bolton stops making money off book deals and has to give his evidence like three of his deputies did, at risk to their own professional careers, while he was out trying to make a buck on it,” Maloney said. “I think the day is coming when Mike Pompeo is going to have to answer for why he let Marie Yovanovitch be thrown under the bus and clearly knew all of these things in real time. We heard that directly from Ambassador (Gordon) Sondland yesterday, and the day is sure coming for Mick Mulvaney, who came out and told us all why the president did this, said there was a quid pro quo and told us to get over it.”

“Well, we’re not over it,” Maloney added, “and he’ll be held to account in the fullness of time. But the real issue is whether we can hold the president accountable given the facts and evidence that we have.”

And don't forget those in Congress who supported Trumpski as he perpetrated these crimes and said NOTHING! Ms Lindsey, Johnson, Nunes, Jordan. where is your mandate now?

‘This is a fictional narrative’: Fiona Hill delivers damning slam against Nunes’ lie that Ukraine attacked US election

Dr. Fiona Hill, the former Deputy Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Europe and Russia on the National Security Council, delivered a scathing bombshell opening statement Thursday morning before the House Intelligence Committee’s impeachment hearing (video below).

Hill’s statement directly targeted Ranking Republican Member Devin Nunes’ lie that Ukraine, not Russia, attacked the U.S. 2016 election.

Oh snap! You mean the Freak From Fresno is a liar! Yes Virginia, there is a boogie man and he loves cows!

Viewers astonished as Fiona Hill rips apart the falsehoods spread by ‘bloody nitwit’ Devin Nunes on live TV

“The impact of the successful 2016 Russian campaign remains evident today,” Hill testified in her opening statement. “Our nation is being torn apart. Truth is questioned. Our highly professional and expert career Foreign Service is being undermined.”

Nunes complained about Hill’s allegation during his own opening statement, and he continued to accuse Ukraine of improperly interfering in the last presidential election.

“I refuse to be part of an effort to legitimize an alternate narrative that the Ukrainian government is a U.S. adversary, and that Ukraine — not Russia — attacked us in 2016,” she testified. “These fictions are harmful even if they are deployed for purely domestic political purposes.”

Impeachment viewers cheered her on.

Fiona Hill blasts Rudy Giuliani for blurting out ‘incendiary remarks’ on TV that came ‘back to haunt us’

Former National Security Council official Fiona Hill testified to Congress Thursday that what Rudy Giuliani was doing in Ukraine was dangerous to the United States and that she knew there would be consequences.

Staff counsel Daniel Goldman asked about who was involved in the conspiracy theories surrounding Ukraine. He asked about what John Bolton was saying about Giuliani and his “interest” in Ukraine.

She explained that Bolton looked “pained” and that his body language indicated there was nothing he could do about it. The assumption was that Giuliani’s actions were being coordinated at a much higher level than even Bolton.

And which Russian puppet might that be?

Ukrainians know all about Trump’s corruption — and even have a special word for it

When Donald Trump asked his Ukrainian counterpart to investigate his opponent Joe Biden, it wasn’t just political dirt he was trying to import to the U.S., but a whole phenomenon.

It has a name in Ukraine which can be roughly translated as “problem-solving.” A whole class of people who provide that service. The local name for them is a “reshala.”

For example, if your business is being attacked by the government’s security service for no apparent reason, someone will offer you a solution. For a certain fee, of course. (In America, that’s known as a protection racket.)
