“Trump claims that Marie Yovanovitch refused to hang his picture in the US embassy in Ukraine as is tradition, and it took more than a year to get her to hang the picture. (Do not know if this is true. I will check.) He adds, "This was not an angel, this woman.”
So now we know what is important to trump.

linkJake Tapper ”Q Mr. President, what exactly did you hope Zelensky would do about the Bidens after your phone call? Exactly. THE PRESIDENT: Well, I would think that, if they were honest about it, they’d start a major investigation into the Bidens. It’s a very simple answer.” trump was asked this question on 10-3 at one of those helicopter briefings he gives.

I guess trump is still at it on his “call in” at Fox
Daniel Dale
”Trump falsely claims you don't see bad stories about veterans being mistreated anymore thanks to him. (There have been a bunch of awful stories in recent months.) Then he repeats his usual lie that he got Veterans Choice passed.”

“Trump says the US has never received 10 cents from China. (Aside from trade profits, the US has received $10+ billion in tariffs on China - paid by Americans - for years.) He claims the US has long had a $500B trade deficit with China. (It never has.)”

“Trump: "We have to stand with Hong Kong, but I'm also standing with President Xi."
”This came in response to a question about whether he'd veto the two bills that passed Congress overwhelmingly to support/protect the Hong Kong protest movement. Trump didn't respond directly.”

“Trump: "If it weren't for me, thousands of people would have been killed in Hong Kong." He says Xi is only not killing thousands of people and implementing a "police state" because Trump is telling him not to ruin their trade talks.”
“Trump calls George Conway a "wack job." He says of Kellyanne, "She must have done some baaad things to him," "some number on him," because he is "crazy."
This is insane.

More from that trump Fox News call in
Kaitlan Collins..
”Trump says the only person he wants to testify more than Hunter Biden is Adam Schiff. "I want to see Adam Schiff testify about the whistleblower, who is a fake whistleblower," he tells Fox and Friends. "I know exactly who it is."
“By the way, if I didn't fire Comey, I would be in some trouble right now," Trump says. "...It turns out to be the best move I ever made, firing Comey, because they were trying to take me down."
Random response
“If he didn’t fire Comey they would of uncovered his crimes? Is that what he’s saying?”

This from Daniel Dale
”Trump repeats his lie that the highly accurate whistleblower report "bore no relationship to my call." This is by far his most frequent false claim over the Ukraine scandal.”
Prompted this from Bill Kristol
“Trump is often lies the most baldly concerning the subject he's most worried about. Trump's obsession with the whistleblower masks or suggests his guilty knowledge not just that the whistleblower told the truth, but that Trump participated in the attempt to cover up his report.”

That must have been some trump “call in” to Fox.
Josh Marshall
”Remember, "Crowdstrike" is the conspiracy theory that Ukraine and the DNC framed Russia. Here's President Trump again pushing this claim, supported by Republicans: that Russia is innocent, didn't interfere in the 2016 election. Who did it? Ukraine and the DNC.”

This from Bobbi Lewis
”Donald Trump attacks Marie Yovanovitch: "The ambassador, the woman, she wouldn't even put up -- she's an Obama person. I said 'why are you being so kind?' 'Well, sir, she's a woman. We have to be nice.' ... [Zelensky] didn't like her at all."
Prompted this response from Paul Waldman..
“This little mini-story is obviously made up, but consider what he's saying: He wanted someone, presumably Rs in Congress, to attack Yovanovitch (whose name he can't remember - she's "the woman") more harshly, but those losers wouldn't do it because she's a woman.”

My problem w/autocrats - be they theocrats (religions aren't democracies, generally), tech bros, etc... They are unelected. They make decisions that have enormous sway on the way of the world. They sit in power beyond the reach of democracy.
"Instead of allowing the Silicon Six decide the fate of the world, let the ELECTED representatives, voted by the WILL OF THE PEOPLE in every democracy in the world, have AT LEAST SOME SAY."

I read or heard somewhere that that’s his ‘tell’ that he’s lying about something. Daniel Dale's live tweets of Trump speeches include "sir alerts." He tells fantastical stories about big strong men who come up to him with tears in their eyes, saying "Thank you, sir, sir, you've saved us." Definitely one of his 'tells.'

All the obstruction in the Mueller report still happened. I'd like to see it get its due consideration - along w/the financial mess.

Great legal analysis on the Opening Arguments podcast. Direct link to episode 'This Week in Impeachment' in which this week's impeachment news is discussed by Andrew Torrez (lawyer) and Thomas Smith.

They sit in power beyond the reach of democracy. "Instead of allowing the Silicon Six decide the fate of the world, let the ELECTED representatives, voted by the WILL OF THE PEOPLE in every democracy in the world, have AT LEAST SOME SAY." There is nothing stopping THE PEOPLE from having a say in this country other than the people themselves. Don’t like the way this country is going now, well we have no one to blame but ourselves. And it’s the people who can change this country by showing up at the ballot box and making an informed vote. Don’t like the candidates that are supported by the parties, fine work within your community to find potential candidates that have positions that benefit all Americans to challenge these individuals. People need to get involved when it comes to the gerrymandering and voter suppression. The only reason this is happening is because we allow it to happen. Problem is too many people/voters are ill informed or they just don’t care and can’t be bothered. So put the blame where it belongs and that is on the people and not some Silicon 6 or whoever. IMO

IMO I partly agree w/you. But who do you think is helping to keep people uninformed and distracted (hint: it's the Silicon Six and other tech billionaires like them) - even in a world where we have more information at our fingertips than ever before in the history of humanity? Do you really think billionaires who can buy countries and governments all over the world many times over will not often use that power to their own ends - especially if they can buy and sell politicians like so many trading cards?

Daniel Dale “Trump claims that Marie Yovanovitch refused to hang his picture in the US embassy in Ukraine as is tradition, and it took more than a year to get her to hang the picture. (Do not know if this is true. I will check.) He adds, "This was not an angel, this woman.” So now we know what is important to trump. We spent some time hanging out by the TSA office in one of the Houston airports over the summer. There was a picture of Trump hung very high up on the wall. I asked the agent why it was all the way up there (I mean, it was very oddly high, almost at the ceiling) and he laughed and said that the picture had been stolen or vandalized almost weekly when it was hung lower.
