Gothan City Digest: Stockholm Syndrome edition

(We don't take prisoners.)

     The day before yesterday, Ambassador Bill Taylor may have taken down three men: Sondland, Giuliani, and Trump himself.

     In this day and age, when prosecuting, convicting and jailing some of the worst criminals is unthinkable, it's really a treat to see the law actually being enforced on the right people for a change.

      I can see Trump pulling a dick move like this in a last desperate attempt to save himself.

      Florida Man, the world's worst superhero.

      You know how when terrorists take someone hostage and they threaten them with something until they read propaganda from cue cards about their enemies? This is precisely how Trump wanted to use Zelensky, according to Bill Taylor.

     This is the guy who's challenging Matt Gaetz (R-DUI) for his seat in FL-1 next year. Give Phil some love.

      41 Republicans essentially hijacked Congress yesterday just before Laura Cooper's testimony. That's a lot of Republicans to fit on a short bus.

       Donald Trump began yesterday morning asking, "Where's the whistleblower?" Later that day, one of his lawyers argued in New York that Trump really could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and not get arrested. Oh well, then. Why don't we just anoint him as King, then?

        Bar bars Barr.

       Woman fired from last job and berated by male boss invited to "Most Powerful Women" summit. What, weren't any of Harvey Weinstein's casting couch victims available?

     MLB umpire Rob Drake threatens to go on mass shooting spree with AR-15 if Trump is impeached.

       0-300+. Canada's not a good place to be if you goosestep and celebrate every April 20th.

       Less than 1% of the world's population owns nearly 44% of its wealth. So- Heinz 57 or A1?

      Yeah, sure, Judy, since a New York billionaire worked out so swimmingly the last time.

      Lt. Commander Data was back on Capitol Hill today while Republicans were hijacking the rest of Congress. AOC tore into him. It wasn't a pretty sight. Synthetic white blood and diodes were everywhere.

      Russia, are you listening?

     Meme intermission.

     Who gives a shit about you, asshole?

     Sure she will;. She said the same thing about Kavanaugh before voting for him.

    The day after hijacking Congress, Matt Gaetz (R-Stockholm) hijacks an MSNBC show, issues demands, among them a helicopter to Moscow.

     It turns out 13 of the 41 Republicans who'd hijacked a hearing yesterday were actually allowed into it yet they chose this publicity stunt instead. Jim Jordan (R-Where's my jacket?) on the Oversight Committee is one of them.

     What happened? They took away your Sharpie?

     The WSJ actually using the Fredo rationale Mueller used with Don Jr: That Donald Trump is too stupid to impeach.

     Pompous Maximus is back in Kansas and went off on a local journalist who asked him about our betrayal of the Kurds.

     As I predicted in my blog post yesterday, Laura Cooper's testimony backed up what Bill Taylor said on Tuesday... and then some.

      And so it begins...

      NBC's Richard Engel cannot believe the stupidity of Trump's last tweet about the Kurds.

     I'm not a huge fan of Steny Hoyer. If you needed an actor to play an undistinguished windbag politician, he's what central casting would send over. However, during Elijah Cummings' memorial service at the Capitol yesterday, he delivered a beautiful & erudite address that was also an oblique jab at the Trump maladministration.

      "Ron Vara" claims we don't have a right to know if Trump used quid pro quo on the Chinese. So, yeah, LET'S talk about transparency, GOP.

       From last May but, wow, I never knew this. We spend more on energy subsidies than on defense, which is saying something since we spent $600 billion on defense in 2015 alone. And finally...

       Yeah, no shit we need the real story.
