Julia Davis... “Apparently, Putin wasn't satisfied with his little #G20Summit2018 chat, because today #Russia's state media is still roasting Trump: he is "clumsy," "morose," "defensive," "brought dissonance to the #G20Summit," "wasn't prepared for a meeting with Putin," "had nothing to say." ©️“ I suspect it’s more like Russia just about got everything they wanted from a trump presidency so why pretend that trump isn’t a buffoon. Putin is just figuring all this out now? I thought he was smarter than that. None of that is new behavior from Trump.

NBC.. “NEW: Lawyer: Comey drops legal challenge to Republican congressional subpoena and will agree to closed-door deposition, but lawmakers agreed to release full transcript of his testimony within 24 hours, and he in turn is free to make all or part of it available to the public.” What is it with the Republicans that everything has to be in secret? It just reinforces the claim they do this so they can leaked information to support their narrative and it doesn’t matter if it is accurate or not. The answer is that the republicans ALWAYS want to control the narrative. They want the microphone. They want to be the ones listened to so that they can spew their spin and hatefulness. Look at Ryan—he’s taking the interview circuit right now, since he’s leaving, and totally bullshitting and lying about what has transpired in the last 2 years. It’s unfuckingbelievable listening to the republicans lie so damn much. Ha - unfuckingbelievable. The one word describing the 45 th President. Should be in text books. 😊

Calling out his comment, the 29-year-old politician pointed out that the U.S. already has panels that make life and death decisions for Americans seeking treatment for illness and disease.” I wonder if she understands that Medicare has those same types of panels? Yes, Medicare makes choices for us as well as the 'open market' does... ** Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says her healthcare as a waitress cost double the plans offered to CongressSinéad Baker Dec 03, 2018 Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that she paid more than twice as much for healthcare as a waitress than she will as a congresswoman. In a series of tweets, The Congresswoman-elect advocated for the extension of government Medicare coverage to every American. She said it was "frustrating" that Congress members would "deny other people affordability that they themselves enjoy." ** "It's frustrating that Congress members would deny other people affordability that they themselves enjoy. Time for #MedicareForAll." Fact checking website SNOPES reported that members of Congress choose from a gold-level Obamacare policy and receive federal subsidies that cover 72 percent of the cost of the premiums. Overall, they "pay approximately 28 percent of their annual healthcare premiums through pre-tax payroll deductions," according to Snopes. According to health insurance calculator the Keiser Family Foundation, an individual living in New York and earning $27,000 a year — a typical waiter's salary— would pay $166 a month in premiums for a silver Obamacare policy.

“Looking forward to being with the Bush Family to pay my respects to President George H.W. Bush.”
Paul Waldman..
“It's a small thing, but this shows how Trump is weirdly disconnected from normal human interactions. Who says they're "looking forward" to a funeral? The only surprise is that he didn't add an exclamation point.”

“We would save Billions of Dollars if the Democrats would give us the votes to build the Wall. Either way, people will NOT be allowed into our Country illegally! We will close the entire Southern Border if necessary. Also, STOP THE DRUGS!”
trump keeps ignoring the fact we actually have three other borders. What’s his plan for them? Walls?

Another week and another rant by trump on Mueller..
“Bob Mueller (who is a much different man than people think) and his out of control band of Angry Democrats, don’t want the truth, they only want lies. The truth is very bad for their mission!”
Did we ever decide who the angry Democrats were? It can’t be the other prosecutors who work with Mueller because I believe most if not all are Republicans.

haha-- that was my first thought at seeing the Heat Miser and Snow Miser, too! Jeff Yang.. “#NC09 GOP candidate @markharrisnc9’s campaign appears to have sent people door to door in rural Robeson & Bladen Counties to steal absentee ballots from elderly black voters and complete them for Harris. There were 1300+ such ballots in those counties in a race Harris won by 905.” This is apparently what they are investigating in NC. If this is true then the GOP really have sunk to yet another low. Yes! I think AP and others have withdrawn his 'win'!! The other incidents that might(probably) will end up a voter fraud seem to be perpetrated by more in the GOP than others. ^^^ late last week, I heard that they don't have a precedent for what to do in this case-- but the remedy may be up to / including maybe actually having another election!

Paul Waldman...
In the GHWB coverage, his burning, insatiable need to become president is being characterized as an admirable sticktoitiveness.
When a woman - say, Hillary Clinton - has the same ambition, it's described as positively psychotic, terrifying, and disqualifying in and of itself.
John Rock...
“Compare Pelosi media coverage and opposition to Schumer coverage. So obvious. “

It’s telling that he assumes Republicans would be covering up misdeeds instead of investigating, isn’t it? He know they’re mostly registered Republican - it’s just inconceivable to him that members of his own party might do their jobs instead of protecting him. He really believes the DOJ works for him.

Everyone around trump is a sleezball. If the creep didn’t do anything wrong then say so and be done with it. But what they are doing is trying to discredit Mueller for that idiot in the White House.
From Fox News...
“Conservative writer Corsi files criminal complaint against Mueller, alleges bid to seek false testimony”
Conservative author Jerome Corsi on Monday filed a “criminal and ethics complaint” against Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team, accusing investigators of trying to bully him into giving “false testimony” against President Trump.
The complaint, which Corsi had threatened for days, is the latest escalation between Mueller’s team and its investigation targets.
The 78-page document, asserting the existence of a “slow-motion coup against the president,” was filed to a range of top law enforcement officials including Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, D.C.’s U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu and the Bar Disciplinary Counsel.
“Dr. Corsi has been criminally threatened and coerced to tell a lie and call it the truth,” the complaint states.
Corsi, who wrote the anti-President Obama book "The Obama Nation" and is connected with political operative Roger Stone, has claimed for the past week that he was being improperly pressured by Mueller’s team to strike a plea deal which he now says he won’t sign.
According to Corsi’s complaint, they wanted him to demonstrate that he acted as a liaison between Stone and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on one side and the Trump campaign on the other, regarding the release of hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee.
The complaint states that Mueller’s office is now “knowingly and deceitfully threatening to charge Dr. Corsi with an alleged false statement,” unless he gives them “false testimony” against Trump and others.
The purported threat of a false statement charge, according to the complaint, pertains to a July 2016 email from Stone asking him to “get to” Assange and get the pending emails.
Corsi’s complaint says he was unable to initially give “accurate” testimony on that point, until he could reload emails on his laptop. The complaint says he later amended his answers. In an interview last week with Fox News’ "Tucker Carlson Tonight," Corsi said Mueller’s team “was happy” with his answers until he couldn’t “give them what they wanted.”
Asked about Monday's complaint, Mueller spokesman Peter Carr said they would decline to comment, as did a Justice Department spokesman.
As part of the complaint, Corsi’s legal team included a draft court filing from Mueller’s team to be used for Corsi to plead guilty to making false statements.
That document includes an Aug. 2, 2016 email between Corsi and Stone, where Corsi references Assange and the forthcoming release of hacked emails.
“Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps,” Corsi wrote to Stone, about 10 weeks before Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s emails were released.
In the complaint on Monday, Corsi’s lawyers denied that Corsi had inside knowledge and was colluding with Assange. Instead, they make the argument Corsi “logically concluded” more emails would be released.
“Employing his professional skills and considerable experience as an analyst and investigative journalist, Dr. Corsi logically concluded that WikiLeaks would release Podesta’s emails soon in a second round ‘data dump’ from the same group of DNC emails stolen on July 5, 2016,” the complaint reads.
Corsi, the onetime Washington bureau chief of the right-wing website Infowars, told host Tucker Carlson last week that he has had "no contact with Julian Assange whatsoever."
The complaint is the latest sign of turbulence between Mueller’s team and investigation targets and witnesses. The team recently accused ex-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort of breaching his plea deal by lying to investigators.
Meanwhile, the special counsel’s office stunned Washington with the revelation last week that it had struck a plea deal with former Trump personal attorney Michael Cohen, who is speaking to investigators about Trump’s real estate pursuits in Russia among other topics.
While Trump maintained his stance that there is no collusion and blasted Mueller’s investigation in stark terms last week, the developments showed the probe focusing more closely on Trump himself.
Corsi is represented in his complaint by Larry Klayman, a conservative lawyer who founded Judicial Watch and is known for filing lawsuits against former President Bill Clinton. In the complaint, Klayman argues that the activities of Corsi, as an "investigative journalist," are protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution.”

Kyle Griffin..
“Republicans in North Carolina are pressuring the state elections board there to certify the 9th District results, even as officials continue to investigate irregularities and potential fraud in absentee voting, according to Roll Call.”
What is it about the Republicans ithat they never want to learn the truth. After decades of claiming voter fraud, there really could have been some done. And now instead of waiting for the investigation to be completed we get this from them.

For those who say we never post the bad democrats! Former congressional aide convicted over unlawful campaign contributionsBY EMILY BIRNBAUM - 12/03/18 07:23 PM EST Ken Smukler, a former campaign strategist for retiring Rep. Robert Brady (D-Pa.), was convicted on Monday of conspiring to violate campaign finance laws in a scheme to pay a Democratic challenger $90,000 to drop out of a 2012 congressional race. Smukler was convicted on nine counts, including charges of making and concealing illegal campaign contributions in two primary elections and of obstructing justice in an investigation by the Federal Election Commission (FEC). “Smukler was the mastermind of multiple crooked political schemes,” said U.S. Attorney William McSwain in a statement. “He showed a true pattern of deception by misusing funds and lying to corrupt the entire political process." "The only way to guarantee open and fair elections is to have everyone play by the same rules," McSwain added. "Smukler ignored those rules and broke the law so that his candidates could try to win at all costs. We are grateful that the jury saw through his lies and held him accountable for his widespread criminal conduct.” More at link: thehill.com/homenews/campaign/419552-former-congressional-aide-convicted-over-unlawful-campaign-contributionsCorrected link! 2peasrefugees.boards.net/thread/86507/trump-catch-scary-political-stuff?page=10&scrollTo=2366168

Yep. And Bill Clinton presided over DOMA and DADT, and Obama completely failed to implement humane immigration policy despite campaigning on that issue, and blah blah blah. GWHB championed and signed the ADA, for starters. I had forgotten that, but it's true. He also supported and signed significant environmental legislation. And he served his country in the military with honor. No one is a hero, no one is a saint ... and mostly, no one is totally evil. Except Trump and his folks. Trump is a nightmare.
