Heather Cox Richardson 15 hrs · November 24, 2019 (Sunday) As the news came fast and furious today, I could not help thinking of the famous quotation, “The old world is dying, and the New World struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.” We had plenty of monsters today as old ideas began their death rattle and new ones began to peep. There was lots more on the Ukraine scandal, as leaders formerly in control tried to stay that way. Ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, Devin Nunes (R-CA), who has been accused of trying to smear the Bidens and down play the Russian attack, was asked point-blank if he had been in Vienna with Shokin, the corrupt Ukrainian prosecutor that Biden helped to fire, as a participant alleged on Friday. Nunes’s answer was illuminating: he simply refused to answer, saying: “Everyone’s going to know the truth…. I can’t compete trying to debate this out with the public media when 90% of the media are totally corrupt.” He added: “We’ve got all the facts on our side.” All the facts on his side, but he couldn’t tell us any of them, because… the media asked him about them? Remember, yesterday I said to watch what he does, not what he says. The same man who said the tale of his trip to meet Shokin was “demonstrably false” and that he was going to sue CNN for breaking the story is now not talking. We also learned today that Nunes did, in fact, go to Austria at exactly the time Giuliani’s associate Lev Parnas said he went, with a number of aides. The trip cost almost $57,000 of taxpayers’ money. Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) was also toeing the Trump party line when he insisted on Fox News Sunday that we do not know that it was Russia that hacked the Democratic National Committee; it could have been Ukraine. We do know, of course. Our intelligence experts all say it was Russia. It is Russia’s leaders—and a number of Republican politicians– that are pushing the Ukraine story. Kennedy, remember, was one of the eight GOP leaders who spent last July 4 in Moscow. Even FNC’s Chris Wallace, who was conducting the interview, pushed back against Kennedy, and reiterated, once again, the story of Russian interference in the 2016 election. The whole line of argument from Trump supporters has become so absurd that they clearly think of they are on the ropes. Today on the Fox News Channel, personality Jeanine Pirro dismissed ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland’s testimony against Trump by saying “that he, like many Deep State bureaucrats, is not a fan of the president.” Sondland is a hotel magnate with no diplomatic experience at all, who got his job by literally giving Trump a million dollars. The argument that he is a hostile bureaucrat sounds desperate. This morning, we also learned that when the Ukraine scandal broke, the White House scrambled to construct a justification for the decision to withhold money from our ally. Another word for this kind of activity is cover-up, and in the end, a cover-up is what sank Richard Nixon. Also significant is that the story was leaked by three people in the White House, so Trump’s control over his people continues to erode. Meanwhile, Jennifer Rubin in the Washington Post came out and said it: Republicans are guilty not only for violating their oath of office by supporting a criminal president, but also for broadcasting Russian propaganda. Remember that Jennifer Rubin is a conservative commentator. We also learned that the House intelligence committee is reviewing audio and video tapes and photographs provided by Lev Parnas, the indicted associate of Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani. Parnas’s lawyer insists that Parnas is “non-partisan,” and wants to do “what is in the best interests of our nation.” Parnas is the same man who refused to honor a subpoena to testify in front of Congress, and his lawyer wrote an incredibly insulting letter to Congress in comic sans font. Their tone has changed in the last month. It is likely that this change of tone reflects a power shift in Washington. We learned today that Trump is no longer using the Oval Office but instead is working from the private residence. The Politico story that broke the news suggests he is doing so because he fears spies and is more comfortable in the private residence, but this does not pass the smell test. Presidents generally work in the Oval Office unless they are ill. Either he is retreating out of fear of the impeachment proceedings, or the cognitive problems that we have all noticed are becoming severe enough that he is no longer comfortable being in public. Finally, perhaps the biggest story today was the firing of Navy Secretary Richard V. Spencer over the case of Edward Gallagher, a Navy seal accused of committing war crimes, and that story highlighted that Trump is both trying cement is power and is being challenged over it. Gallagher was acquitted of murder but convicted of posing with the body of a prisoner. For that, he was demoted. From the first, this case has bothered Trump. On Twitter, he accused the Navy of mistreating Gallagher, and he reinstated Gallagher’s rank. It is extraordinary for a president to get involved in an individual disciplinary cases, and Pentagon officials asked the president not to, because it would hurt military discipline and weaken our standing in the world. In the midst of this wrangling, Spencer announced publicly that Gallagher would have to go before a review board to see if he could stay in the elite Navy SEALs. This afternoon, Spencer announced that “I hereby acknowledge my termination as United States Secretary of the Navy.” The White House offered a complicated story about him being fired for being insubordinate, but it was clear from his carefully written resignation letter that he had been contemplating leaving over the Gallagher case for a while. Today’s date on the letter was clearly written later, by hand, and in a hurry. When he heard of the resignation, Gallagher’s lawyer told a reporter: “This case is bananas. You can quote me on that.” And the letter is a doozy. Spencer says, “I cannot in good conscience obey an order that I believe violates the sacred oath I took in the presence of my family, my flag and my faith to support and defend the Constitution of United States.” Guess who took the same oath. Spencer called out Trump for violating his oath to defend the Constitution, but it is worth noting that right now it is Spencer, not Donald Trump, who is out of a job. “The old world is dying, and the New World struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.”

”Ten days after Erdogan visits Trump in the White House, Turkey flies NATO aircraft to test its new Russian S400 missile system, as Turkish-backed extremists reportedly continue operations in NE Syria. Embarrassing.”
The National
”Turkey tests S-400 Russian missile system with US jets, defying Washington”
I believe that is called thumbing your nose at some one.

"In 2015, Cheri Jacobus (@cherijacobus), a seasoned Republican political operative with a long and impressive resume, was asked to take a job with the Trump campaign. She declined. Months later, when she blew the whistle on one of Trump’s early lies—that his campaign was self-funded, and that he wasn’t in any way involved with a secret super PAC—the vindictive candidate and his goons did what they could to ruin her life. Trump denigrated her on Twitter. FOX stopped booking her. CNN blacklisted her. She was catfished. Her AOL account was hacked. She began to fear for her safety. What happened to her is what many Republicans fear will happen to them, if they dare to defy Trump. Jacobus was one of the first conservative Never Trumpers. She’s cultivated a large Twitter following—mostly by being right about almost everything for four years and counting—and parlayed that popularity into “America Reads the Mueller Report,” a project designed to expose Americans who may not have access to the Internet to the findings. You can read her work at A House United on the Maven Roundtable archive. This is my discussion with one of the unsung heroes of the age of Trump:" gregolear.substack.com/p/blacklisted-an-interview-with-cheri

My ire is a thousand times more with those who support him. trump has been a slimy criminal for most of his life. Anyone who has watched him down through the decades knows that. He is a predator and anything he does is to be expected. Those who know who he is and support him are a special type of scum.

”According to BuzzFeed, Melania Trump was met with loud boos from an audience comprising mostly of high school and middle school students at an event in Baltimore.
The event was part of her "Be Best" initiative.”
Considering who she is married to, this “Be Best” was one of the dumbest causes taken up by a First Lady.

And your broad brushing is nauseating.
I happened to have watched every single minute of every single hearing. Sat and watched every single one. You can't possibly know who I support and don't support, much less who I'd vote for or not vote for. You're not as smart as you think you are.
Your lame and predictable insults don't have a thing to do with the fact that the democrats chose Trump's punishment and have been trying to plug in a crime for over 3 years. The fact that you can't respond to someone you know nothing about, other than speculating, without insulting them is sickening.
Paul Manifort - Campaign Manager for trump for a period of time. Indicted and found guilty of whatever and is in jail Rick Gates - Worked with Manifort when manager and Kellyanne Conway after Manifort resigned. Indicted, pleaded guilty and is providing information to prosecutors for a reduced sentence. Michael Flynn - trump’s first NSA. Indicted. Pleaded guilty and is awaiting jail sentencing or a trump pardon. Roger Stone - friend and confidant of trump along with being involved in the campaign. Indicted, convicted, awaiting sentencing. Michael Cohen - trump’s fixer indicted, convicted and in jail while cooperating with prosecutors. trump paid a judgement of $25M because it was determined his “university” was a fraud. trump, nor any members of his family can be involved in any type of Foundation that involves donations. His Foundation was forced to dissolve and he was fined over $1M by the State of New York for using funds donated to his Foundation for his campaign among other things. The Mueller report did not clear trump of anything, in fact it laid out 10, I believe, actions by trump that in a court of law would be considered obstruction of justice. The only reason Mueller couldn’t move forward with indictments was because of the ridiculous opinion of some guys in the justice department that sitting presidents can’t be indicted. Which would mean Congress, in its oversight duties, review the information that Mueller’s team put together to see if this president did, on multiple occasions, commit obstruction of justice. Problem is there is an AG committing obstruction of justice by not turning over the Mueller information to the appropriate committees in Congress who is tasked with oversight of the Executive Branch, you know the checks & balance the Founding Fathers envisioned when they put this country together. And you have a White House ignoring subpoenas that have been issued for those who were interviewed by the Mueller team but are now not being allowed to testify before the committees in Congress. So would you like to tell us there is nothing there? That for three years the Democrats have been gunning for trump for no reason? As far as the current impeachment hearing. If trump didn’t do anything wrong, then let the key players, including trump, testify in public hearings so we can all learn the truth. Have trump, Mulvaney, Bolton, Giuliani & Pompeo all testify. These individuals would be questioned equally by Democrats and Republicans. If there is nothing to hide, it would clear things up. Don’t you think? That's great that you took the time to put out that list for those that aren't or haven't been paying attention (I have by the way), but that has nothing to do with my simply stated point: the democrats have been talking about impeachment. For over three years. Have they not? Since right before/after the election numerous democrats have said he should be impeached, long before those investigations were completed, and before some investigations had even started.
Why would you ask if I want to tell you there's nothing there? I said no such thing, and I didn't even hint at it.
Again, the democrats have been pushing impeachment, every single day for years. One of the last things I heard Adam Schiff say was Trump's behavior was worse than Nixon. If that's what he believes, then why the hell haven't the democrats impeached yet? And that was after the Mueller report came out, which they guaranteed was going to lead to impeachment. Didn't happen then either. Each new bombshell report, investigation, starts a new reason to impeach. Well, they haven't done it yet, even with everything you put out there. I believe it's like the boy who cried wolf, and it's turning a lot people off and they're tuning out.

Your lame and predictable insults don't have a thing to do with the fact that the democrats chose Trump's punishment and have been trying to plug in a crime for over 3 yearsSo what’s your point? 1. For three years the Democrats wanted to impeach trump and kept looking for reasons to impeach even if they didn’t exist? or 2. For three years the Democrats had reason to impeach but just sat on the pot until now? I would be remiss if I didn’t point out the Democrats didn’t have control of the House until January 2019. So for 2 years there wasn’t much they could do. Once they had the majority in the House, they were waiting for the Mueller Report. Which once was released didn’t clear trump of anything, and I’m repeating myself here. The AG has refused to release the evidence & testimony gathered by Mueller’s team. And the White House has blocked people who had been interviewed by Mueller’s team from testifying before a Congress. You have seemed to skip over this part in my OP. I see a Judge ruled trump can’t stop people from testifying because he’s not a king and he does not have absolute power. I’m sure this will end up in the Supreme Court. Bottom line, prior to January 2019 the Democrats could not do any type of investigation because the GOP was calling the shots and pretty much stymied any queries the Democrats had. Since January when the Democrats took control of the House, The White House, The Attorney General, and GOP members in Congress have engaged in obstruction of justice the likes this country has never seen before which have thrown up roadblocks stopping the Democrats from doing the oversight that the Constitution calls for. Until the whistleblower showed up with a story to tell on how trump was holding a foreign country hostage by refusing to release badly needed aid if they did not dig up dirt on Biden and clear Russia of meddling in the 2016 elections. Both beneficial to only trump and Russia. Once the whistleblower’s story came out, other folks who knew all or part of what trump was up to agreed to testify. Even trump’s transcript of the call pretty much sealed his fate. Since that happened the Democrats have moved rather quickly. I see the Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing next week and have invited trump. The timeline is the complaint was filed 8/12 but not released until 9/26. From then until now things have moved right along. So again, what’s your point.

linkNew Q poll “November 26, 2019 - Biden Retakes Lead As Warren Plunges, Buttigieg Rises, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; Voters Not Swayed By Impeachment Hearings”From the poll “Former Vice President Joe Biden has retaken the lead in the Democratic primary race for president as Senator Elizabeth Warren's numbers have plummeted, according to a Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pea-ack) University national poll released today. Biden receives 24 percent of the vote among Democratic voters and independent voters who lean Democratic, while South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg gets 16 percent, Warren receives 14 percent, and Sen. Bernie Sanders gets 13 percent.” ”Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who just entered the race, receives 3 percent as do Sen. Kamala Harris and Sen. Amy Klobuchar. Sen. Cory Booker, businessman Andrew Yang, former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, and Sen. Michael Bennet each receive 2 percent. No other candidate tops one percent. Eleven percent are undecided. ” “In an October 24 poll, Warren received 28 percent, Biden had 21 percent, Sanders was at 15 percent, and Buttigieg got 10 percent. "Biden is back on top of the pack but now there is a 3-way race for second. Buttigieg has broken into the top tier, apparently at the expense of Warren, who has taken a dive after being hammered for being too far left on health care and other issues," said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy. ”When voters were asked their second choice, Warren came out ahead with 20 percent, Biden got 12 percent, Sanders got 11 percent, and Buttigieg received 10 percent.” & ”There is more support among Democratic voters and independent voters who lean Democratic for allowing people to buy into Medicare than replacing the current system with Medicare for All, although both are popular among these voters. While 71 percent of Democrats and Democratic leaners think it is a good idea to allow all adults the option of buying into Medicare, 59 percent of Democrats and Democratic leaners think it is a good idea to remove the current health care system and replace it with a single payer system. Medicare for All has grown increasingly unpopular among all American voters, as 36 percent say it is a good idea and 52 percent say it is a bad idea. In a March 26, 2019 poll, 43 percent said good idea, while 45 percent said bad idea. The highest support came in an August 3, 2017 poll when voters said it was a good idea 51 - 38 percent.” President Trump and Impeachment Two weeks of public impeachment hearings in the news haven't hurt President Trump's popularity among American voters. While 40 percent of all registered voters approve of the job President Trump is doing, 54 percent disapprove. This compares to a 38 - 58 percent approval rating in an October 23 poll, and falls within the range of where his job approval rating has been over about the last two years. The country remains closely divided on whether to impeach and remove President Trump from office. While 45 percent of American voters think President Trump should be impeached and removed from office, 48 percent don't think he should be. In an October 23 poll, 48 percent thought he should be impeached and removed and 46 percent didn't think so. "The televised impeachment hearings haven't had much of an effect on the president's approval rating, or how voters feel about impeachment. The numbers still don't look good for Trump, but they definitely haven't gotten worse," Malloy added. Voter opinion on impeachment will be difficult to move as 86 percent say their mind is made up, while only 13 percent say they might change their mind. Among those who think the president should be impeached and removed from office, 8 percent say they might change their mind, while among those who think the president should not be impeached and removed from office, 17 percent say they might change their mind. While 50 percent think that the impeachment inquiry is a legitimate investigation, 43 percent think it is a political witch hunt. Nonetheless, 76 percent of American voters think that the Trump administration should fully cooperate with the impeachment inquiry, while 18 percent don't think so. American voters are paying attention to the news about impeachment as 59 percent say they are paying a lot of attention and 27 percent say they are paying some attention, while only 14 percent say they are paying little or no attention. Nearly half of American voters, 49 percent, believe that President Trump held up military aid to Ukraine because he wanted the Ukrainian president to announce investigations that would benefit Trump politically, while 40 percent don't believe that. “
