Kevin McCarthy...
”HAPPENING NOW→ I'm introducing a privileged resolution for the House to vote on.
"The House of Reps disapproves of the actions of Speaker Pelosi to initiate an impeachment inquiry against the duly elected President of the US, @realdonaldtrump."
Read the full resolution↓”
What an idiot.
Evan McMullin...
”Yes, force House Republicans under your leadership to go on record forever as having opposed congressional efforts to check this lawless president and defend the nation. Great leadership.”

ABC News... ”I thought we won. I thought it was dead," Pres. Trump says when asked if he is bracing for a long impeachment process and slams the Mueller probe. "I used to get great press until I ran for politics. I used to be the king of getting good press." abcn.ws/2mLpTIO” 🎻 . Because before you ran for president you were just another obnoxious rich white guy. No one gave a fuck - except the people you screwed, literally and or financially. The ones you screwed literally you paid to keep quiet. The rest you threatened or bullied

I just read that the daily press briefings from the White House have been abolished - is that true?

I just read that the daily press briefings from the White House have been abolished - is that true? I'm not sure if the WH had officially announced that it will not do them again, but it has been about 6 months since we've had one. It's just more of the same insanity that comes from the Trump administration.

Anyone hoping to see/read the whistleblower complaint now that it's been declassified, and might be released this morning?
Also, anyone hopeful that this might be the beginning of the end of the Trump presidency?

Greg Miller..
”The complaint,citing multiple US officials, alleges that White House lawyers have been stuffing politically troubling records of presidential calls into highly classified storage to hide them from scrutiny throughout Trump’s presidency. This just got much bigger.”

I’ve read it. It’s bad.
It comes down to this: Trump was using the presidency to get personal favors from a foreign country in order to win the 2020 election. He knew it was wrong as the WH took action to hide the electronic records of the calls. Barr was involved, and chose not to take action.

Thanks for linking this. It does look really, really bad. Well, not according to Nunes. UGH. Did anyone hear him speaking about how Nancy Pelosi admitted that if the transcript wasn't bad enough to impeach him over that they would just find another reason?
I yet again feel like I am living in the twilight zone. I can't believe I ever aligned myself with the Republican Party, and I don't think I will ever again be able to vote for a Republican. Trump says Democrats are trying to destroy the Republican Party; well, he is wrong. The Republican Party is basically destroying itself.

I feel in over my head.
This all seems very, very bad and the Republicans just want to dismiss it.
If this doesn't bring Trump's presidency down, he will truly be the Teflon Man.

As they say, it’s never the crime that gets them in the end-it’s the coverup. Hiding the word-for-word transcript sure sounds like a coverup, and according to the complaint, it’s not the first. So the have started an impeachment “inquiry.” How long does that usually last before they go to a vote on impeachment? If this drags out long enough, it could put some red states in quite a bind. They were banking on Trump and cancelled their primaries. How long will it take to reinstate those? Trump has to know that anything he hid on the “secret server” will be released if a Democrat is elected, and any other coverups by the Justice Department under Barr that protects him, his family, or his businesses will come to light. If he has committed prosecutable crimes, I have no doubt the next administration will follow through. So I think if this goes very far, he could end up resigning in return for a ful pardon from Pence. If this happens after the deadline to reinstate primaries, where does that leave those states? No official Republican candidate on the ballot and therefore they have to mount a write-in campaign? Although technically, if he resigns, he can still run again in 2020, but he wouldn’t be on the ballot as an incumbent, right? This is crazy!

Nothing designates whether, or not, a person is an incumbent on the ballot. Yes, I realize that, and I did not mean to suggest that he would be designated as such. I’m talking about the process of getting on to the state ballot. My understanding (which I admit is limited to what I have seen discussed recently on social media and the news) is that some states are foregoing the primary election to “save money” by simply putting Trump on the ballot automatically, a process that is apparently available if you are an incumbent. My question is: if he resigns before the primary or the November election, can he qualify for the November ballot in those states if he is no longer the incumbent. ETA. I’m not sure how they “save money” by not having a problem residential primary. Don’t they still have to print ballots for all the other races that are happening in November at the state and local level?

Nothing designates whether, or not, a person is an incumbent on the ballot. It does on our ballots in California. But more to the point, if Trump were removed from office, say, next spring (yes, I know I’m getting way ahead of myself), and meanwhile a bunch of states have canceled their Republican primaries, I guess the Republican nominee would have to be chosen at the convention in July, without benefit of input from all rank-and-file members. Would they really want to choose someone who had just been forcibly removed from office to represent them on the ballot? My guess would be they’d choose Pence (assuming he was the sitting president) to run, even if he hadn’t appeared on a single primary ballot. And he would be a damaged candidate going into the election. If Trump wanted to run again after impeachment and removal, he’d have to run as an independent. Unless the Republican party is even further down the road to hell than I think they are.

trump... ”THE DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO DESTROY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND ALL THAT IT STANDS FOR. STICK TOGETHER, PLAY THEIR GAME, AND FIGHT HARD REPUBLICANS. OUR COUNTRY IS AT STAKE!” it sure is Plutocracy or democratic republic which do you want? But before you decide ask yourself if they are successful installing a plutocracy, do you think the ruling plutocrats will actually want to support the 2nd amendment?

How about when he was caught continually calling in to news sources as John Barron (or the other names), only to brag about Trump's supposed wealth or sex appeal??? THAT'S the name!! I was thinking about that when someone wrote that the 'transcript' (which is really only NOTES, not a TRANSCRIPT at all) from the phone call really sounded like Trump speaking to Trump-- since NO ONE else uses the exact words and phrases that he does. (or like when his 'doctor' finally admitted that Trump wrote the letter about how great his health was...) the notes from that phone call sure sounded like the same person's words, on both sides. That's not suspicious at all, now, is it? noooo... If my brain were clearer right now, I'd tell you the other names he used to use....... I'll think of them!!! Weird that he used the name Barron and then named his kid that name!!! Hmm........................
Okay, getting my paperwork into my briefcase & running out with DH to Moffitt for his PET scan. He's been feeling so very weak and sick that it's getting me very worried. Trying to hold it together until this all could be figured out. TTYL, Peas!! (Can't believe I'm missing the Hearings today, but I'm dvring them all day until 8pm!). xo

THANK YOU!!! I couldn't find it on CNN's site earlier........
One quick note: Does anyone notice that the Acting DNI guy keeps saying, "comminity" instead of "committee"?? Driving me mad!!!!!!!! (sorry if this was mentioned before, but I'm reading quickly and running out the door for DH's appointment......)

That's his twisted logic (I've been watching this all day). He's saying that about President Obama most likely because he's been caught in conversations with Putin, etc., over the years. Obama was not running, why would he need intel on dt?! (I'm literally running around and outta here for DH's Moffitt appt......), but.......... President Obama might have caught Trump on NUMEROUS calls with Russian oligarchs and other Russian players that were suspicious. That's all I meant. In no way was Trump targeted or listened in on, other than when he was caught up on foreign calls to our adversaries. Hope that makes sense........ Anyone speaking to them is subject to being listened in on.

Thanks for linking this. It does look really, really bad. im not shocked. This is how Trump has ALWAYS been. This is how he operates. This is his idea of deal making. This is NOT new to him. I’m only mildly surprised it’s taken this long for him to be caught. He’s not so bright & it’s usually pretty clear what wheeling & dealing he’s doing. Kudos to the sneaks on his staff that hid it.

Count me among many Democrats who feel this isn't the Republican party you used to belong to anymore, and who feel badly for those of you who feel betrayed. I'm sorry. I'm also grateful for your integrity...country over party. Hugs.

I voted for Clinton both times, and impeachment soured me on the Republicans for good.
