     Why was this Confederate General nearly erased from the public record? Because, believe it or not, he was just too dadgum progressive.

---

     It's out. Now we know why Trump tried to bury it. Adam Schiff said "it read like a mob shakedown."

---

      Egypt wanted to arrest a New York Times reporter and the tRump administration wanted them to. Of course they did, the fascist asswipes.

---

     What you see above are the White House's official talking points and propaganda intended for House Republicans.

      They were sent to House Democrats, instead.
      Imagine if Mack Sennett ran the Nazi Party. You'd have the Trump administration.

     “A lot of alleged criminals are not that smart. That’s how we catch them.” -Rudy Giuliani, on Fox "News", September 25, 2019

     Furtive Republican scumbag Senator admits 30 other Republican scumbag Senators would impeach Trump... IF the votes were held in secret. Which ain't gonna happen. We need to know who's voting what.

      Meanwhile, 224 House Reps have already signed on for impeachment proceedings. On the 24th, there were just 177. We now have a majority, plus six. To paraphrase Ben Franklin, we now have a majority. If we can keep it.

---

      Typical of this fascist junta- Blame the journalists for your furtive behavior.

---

      Note that, political neophyte though he is, Zelensky is also already a master in the art of brown-nosing. So what he get did in return? Extortion, blackmail.

---

       Vlad's got the sads.
       He promised his nads
       To a cad who's bad.

---

      BoJo just got his fat ass kicked in Parliament for the 7th time in a row. This is the clown that Trump calls a "winner."

---

       Actual exchange between Rep. Quigley & Joe Maguire:
       Quigley: "To your knowledge, does [Giuliani] have security clearance?"
       Maguire: "I don't know."
       Q: What's your understanding of Giuliani's role?
       Maguire: "My only knowledge of what Mr. Giuliani does ... I get from TV & news media. I am not aware of what he does for the President."

       The Acting Director of National Intelligence, ladies and gentlemen.

---

      Now we know why Dan Coats and Sue Gordon were forced out on the same day and why Maguire was hastily installed as Acting DNI- Trump knew neither Coats or Gordon would go along with this shell game.

---

      This is Stephanie Grisham's best Bahdad Bob impersonation, a priceless comical reaction to Maguire's testimony on the #WhistleblowerComplaint. This, after Trump ordered a lockdown of the report & had Maguire hand deliver it to him first before Congress saw it. If Big Brother had a press secretary, this is what it would look like.

---

      Trump's Thursday:
      1) Suggested Zelensky should talk to Putin to settle their differences.
      2) Acting DNI Joseph Maguire was forced to admit he sent the whistleblower report to Trump, the White House and the DOJ and not Congress as required by law even though Trump, the White House and the DOJ were the subjects of the complaint.
      3) Maguire insisted the complaint didn't rise to the level of federal investigation, a view shared by Bill Barr.
      4) Maguire refuses to answer questions relating to his conversations with Trump, citing Trump's Executive Privilege.
      5) Maguire's 40 year career in government was immolated in mere minutes by Adam Schiff.

      All by lunchtime.

     The 4th Reich Trump administration is actively trying to steal food out of the mouths of 500,000 children. It utterly escapes me why anyone would vote Republican, EVER, in light of its casual sadism.

---

      After Adam Schiff said Trump sounded like a mob boss, Donald "Donnie Oranges" Trump held a meeting that was closed to the media & said we should whack the guy who could testify against him. "We used to deal with spies a lot differently."

      We used to deal with traitors and tyrants differently, differently, too.

---

      Just as a matter of self-edification, look up pictures of Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings from a year ago. Take careful note of the white bitch Zina Bash sitting right behind Kavanaugh flashing the white power sign. She had worked for Kavanaugh, so she wasn't some random person trolling the hearing. She was flashing the whte power sign knowing damned good and well she would be caught on camera doing so. And those rapist-enabling Republicans STILL confirmed him.
      Well, now the White Power sign had been officially banned by the ADL.

---

      I suppose sometime this year we'll see a headline reading, "Lucifer Forced to Stay at Trump DC Hotel While Negotiating For Trump Family's Souls."

      Seriously, I will buy a fucking magnum of Korbel if Trump gets frog-marched out of the White House by his own Secret Service detail. And once he's thrown out, he'll have an endless gauntlet of prosecutors to face just waiting to take bites out of him.

---

       Trump is so crooked, he even broke Ukraine's laws.

---

       The Russians hope we don't release transcripts of Trump's calls with Putin. Yeah, I'll bet they do. And finally...

---

       I can't believe I haven't posted about this racist asshat yet especially as this video went viral two days ago. But while Trump was busy incriminating himself with his call to Zelensky, one of his loyal foot soldiers, Heather Lynn Patton, made herself infamous for this racist rant for the ages. Apparently, her husband is just as racist as her and they'd had two restraining orders slapped on them in the last three years. After she was outed, she took to her Instagram account and blamed her racist tirade on being drunk.

       I'm sure that's what it was, Heather. Alcohol is infamous for making white people want to kill all black people.
