“46%: the percentage of Americans who wanted Nixon removed from office in late July 1974, 11 days before his resignation.
46%: the percentage of Americans who want Trump removed from office in a Quinnipiac poll released yesterday.”

A perfect example of the term “the fix is in”.
Chris Lu..
”Of 20 key Trump "environmental" officials:
15 worked for oil, gas, coal, chemical or agriculture industries
3 worked for state govts that have resisted environmental regulations
The Swamp is alive and well, and the American people are paying the price”

And here is another example of “the fix is in”.
ABC News..
”NEW: Sen. Mitch McConnell says "the House is likely to finally send the articles over to us tomorrow," allowing Senate to take steps "which would set us up to begin the actual trial next Tuesday." abcn.ws/2NGlaDd”

”(Thread) Senate Trial
Possible outcomes and why McConnell wants to deep-six a trial.
💠Enough GOP Senators vote against Trump and remove him from office.
If this happens, it will be the first time in American history that a president is removed by this means.”
“1/ You might think, why are Republicans so opposed to this? They’ll have President Pence, and they’ll run someone for president who isn’t so hated.
The GOP will resist because if they remove Trump—no matter how guilty he is—they know what will happen to their party.”
”2/ Trump supporters will turn on the GOP, splintering the party.
The only way Trump’s removal holds the GOP together is if Trump leaves voluntarily and throws his support behind Pence.
Do you think Trump would do that? Me, neither. He's not the type.”
“3/ Plus, he's in legal jeopardy in New York state, so a pardon can't help him.
Second possibility:
💠A handful of Senators vote against Trump, but not enough to remove him from office
This too will enrage Trump’s supporters. They'll turn on the Senators who voted to convict.”
“4/ This, too, will splinter the Republican Party. The GOP is a minority party. Its demographics are shrinking. They can't afford to splinter.
It will also highlight Trump’s crimes to persuadable voters.
Trump can’t afford to lose any support, even a half of a percent.”
“5/ Third possibility:
💠The GOP sticks together and all GOP Senators line up behind Trump.
This is the GOP’s best chance for survival: They hold their minority party together and try to create chaos to splinter the opposition.”
“6/ It still isn’t great option for them, particularly if it’s clear to voters in places like Maine, Colorado, Alaska and elsewhere that their Senators voted to acquit despite evidence of guilt.
Also, remember, more evidence will come out later.”
“7/ Eventually the House will get their hands on Trump's financial docs and taxes.
Voting to acquit can be dangerous because vulnerable GOP Senators run for reelection tightly linked to Trump. (The albatross theory)”
8/ Another possible outcome: The Senate votes to censure instead of remove.
I can’t see how this is any better for the GOP.
Censure is a finding of guilt. How can they censure him, and then support him for re-election?“

The myth..
The Federalist..
”You have a president who is so transparent, it sometimes seems there is not a single interior thought he has not expressed publicly." -@mzhemingway on @foxandfriends”
The reality...
Edward Lawrence...
”Statement from Ligthhizer and Mnuchin: “All aspects of the Phase One trade agreement with China will be made public tomorrow. The only non-public component of the agreement is a confidential annex with detailed purchase amounts, which has been previously described. .." (1/2)”
“Lighthizer and Mnuchin add: "...There are no other oral or written agreements between the United States and China on these matters, and there is no agreement for future reduction in tariffs. Any rumors to the contrary are categorically false.” #China #trade”
So if the purchase amounts have been “previously described “ why are they not included with the part of the agreement that is being made public tomorrow?

”House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy is calling on Joe Biden to suspend his campaign while the Democratic senators running for president participate in the Senate impeachment trial. Calls it “the only rightful thing” for Biden to do.”
Notice he is not saying anything about the other Democratic Candidates that are not senators that are running for president.
What an absolute idiot.

I'll edit my own post - According to something I just read on CNN, they were chanting USA, USA and "4 more years"
I'm not really sure as it was difficult to tell what was being said. I hope they weren't cheering for him, but being LA and a deep red state, they more than likely were.

Note: all activities including all travel are listed as official. Only the rally 8-9:30 are listed a campaign! well, that's pretty ridiculous, then, because it doesn't look like he's going there for ANY other reason, does it?? shouldn't the ENTIRE TRIP to/from Milwaukee be a campaign expense, then?!? Yes, yes it should be all campaign!! But we will never know. Mnuchin will not show records until DEC 2020.

”For most of last year, the Pentagon characterized the military construction projects that lost funding to Trump's border wall as "deferred." But they weren't backfilled, meaning they're effectively cancelled. Now White House is looking to do it all again.”
Let’s be very clear, the only reason trump wants this wall built is to massage his fragile ego.
Its not going to stop the flow of drugs as our Coast Guard has proven over and over again. It’s not going to make this country safer by stopping migrants seeking asylum as they will take to the sea, like migrants in other countries are doing. Last time I checked two of this countries biggest boarders are water.
No I’m not for an open Southern Boarder but technology has given us more cost effective efficient choices. That don’t take land from people.

”For most of last year, the Pentagon characterized the military construction projects that lost funding to Trump's border wall as "deferred."

Now White House is looking to do it all again.” And we know we had a Pea who lived on a military base and was out of housing for so long from mold that they are now living elsewhere. Base housing is not all it is supposed to be, for our military members and their families! ETA: the wall is creating havoc with the exosystem, eliminating access to water for ranchers/farmers. Causing death of animals, interfering with migration of animals, endangered species and taking land from people whose families have owned land down there for generations.

”NEW: The House Intelligence, Oversight and Foreign Affairs Committees have transmitted additional evidence to be used as part of the Senate impeachment trial. The evidence provided includes phone records, as well as new docs and materials from Lev Parnas.”
Nicholas Wu..
”Among the evidence just produced by the House Intelligence Committee - a note from Parnas saying "get Zalensky to Annonce that the Biden case will be investigated"
This could get interesting really fast depending on what the information is.

”Giuliani writes—on Giuliani letterhead—to Zelenskiy on May 10, references Trump's 'knowledge and consent.' "In my capacity as personal counsel to Pres. Trump and with his knowledge and consent, I request a meeting with you on this upcoming Monday, May 13th or Tuesday May 14th."
In the letter Rudy clearly states that he is acting for individual trump and not president trump.
Why would president trump’s personal lawyer have any interaction with the head of a foreign country on behalf of individual trump???

”Trump personally approved John Dowd’s representation of Parnas and Fruman—two men he claimed not to know.”
To refresh one’s memory, trump gave one of his two his usual answers about something he doesn’t want to answer “I hardly knew these guys”. But yet there is this email saying it’s ok for this attorney to represent them.....
His other answer? I don’t remember.

I think that this is also the letter that mentions Toensing who with her DH, Digenova, were going to be dt's lawyers. Did lots on FOX and her DS was hired at DOJ June 2019. But they also met with DOJ after Lev and Igor were arrested ... AND while Giuliani was already under investigation. Why are all these people so very interconnected. And Hyde from Connecticut is truly trash! After his obscene tweets about Kamala Harris and a;lso what he said about Schiff tonight.And let us not forget he was running the surveilence of Yovanovitch!

”Hyde and Parnas, and for that matter Rudy and Sondland, are in a way comical (if also thuggish) figures. But it’s worth remembering that from start to finish they’re executing a genuinely sinister plot. And it was Trump’s plot. It was, at the end of the day, Trump’s drug deal.”
