The fact that there are so many crooks, thieves, con-men and shysters in power in the world (Trump, Netanyahu, Bolsonaro, Duterte, Erdogan, Johnson, not to mention the Putins, Xis and Kims - what's wrong with us?) makes me think of this recent New Yorker article:

Sadly mostly no longer applicable.

Trump seems to be saying that Bolton's book is all untrue, _and_ that it contains classified information. Hmmm.
When Trump says how terrible these former officials were, I wonder if he reflects on what that says about the person who appointed them (rhetorical question)?

The vote may be close enough to damage him. It may be seen as an opportunity for both sides of the house.

Not to mention Orban and Duda...

I'm not altogether sure that reflection (apart from the one in the mirror to arrange carefully the combover) plays any part in what passes for Donald's thinking - it's all shoot from the lip. Some folk have referred to him as the toddler-in-chief.

Perhaps he inadvertently omitted the "a" in "beast".

remember back at the start of the presidency when the republicans hated trump and nobody wanted to work with him? i had the crazy idea that perhaps pelosi could strike some kind of deal and get some dems in there, maybe to work on infrastructure. i guess it seems silly or absurd now, but did he really have any sort of plans back then?

Please don't let Zoe Lofgren answer any more questions! She is a walking disaster for the prosecution.
I was under the misguided impression that a Q&A session would allow both parties to address the same question. Stupid suggestion. The whole process is flawed. If the framers meant for this to happen, then they were thick as pid ****.

Jared Kushner tries to sell his Middle East Peace Plan on Fox & Friends: "Past proposals have been 2 to 3 pages — this is an over 80-page proposal with a map. Never been done before."
Wow, more than 80 pages *and* a map. Last time I heard something like that the person talking was a student in front of a teacher.

It IS a bizarre experience watching this. The Trump mafioso defence team are arguing against impeachment on precedent. No one expects Trump to be removed from office but he has already in an impeachment hearing.
The prosecution are arguing for the admission of witnesses who can shed more light on proceedings and any misdemeanors that may or may not have taken place.
Is the latter not reasonable in a fair process of law?

The suggestions maintaining the POTUS's unlimited power and that asking foreign powers to meddle in internal politics is fine smacks of dictatorial/magisterial omnipotence and would set a very dangerous precedent indeed.
