Honestly - this is the most depressing thing about the whole debacle.
Say good bye to women's rights and say hello to gerrymandersville.

It's exactly why Republicans are prepared to shamelessly back Trump, I think: He's a useful idiot that can brazenly ignore the law, and they'll reap the beenfits for years to come. Meanwhile, once he is gone (in whatever form that might take) they can shake their heads retrospectively and say "what an awful man he was, if only we knew..."

Caught some of tbe Senate stuff on impeachment.

Senator was saying nothing happened blah blah

But in his own statement trump said they had to do him a favour what else is that other than a quid pro quo

fking unreal

[Blackpuddin]

This Republican guy Collins is certifiable. Nothing he says makes any sense on any level. It is literally noise, nothing more. Live feed here:

Has anyone read his letter to Pelosi yet?

I have read it described as a ‘written version of a trump rally’ which seems about right. He really does appear live in the fantasy dreamland of a textbook sociopath.

I am not sure how Pelosi will react, but it is not hard to imagine her laughing into her coffee whilst reading it.

If trump wrote even one page of that then I’m the pope. That man doesn’t have the word indelible in his vocabulary. He probably thinks it means you can’t eat it.

Certainly, there are many words he would not understand but also there are a lot of his Random Capitalizations and other grammatical eccentricities.

I suspect he had a big shouty rant to some people taking notes who subsequently had the task of getting it down on paper as if the nectarine neanderthal had typed it himself.

Either way, astonishing stuff, even from trumplethinskin.

I’d imagine it was the other way round. I’d imagine someone wrote a very eloquent letter and then Trump decided to edit it to make it what some are saying is the Best letter ever, covfefe.

Trump doesn't do random capitalisations.

Much as the guy is a fking idiot he's been coached in how to emphasise what he means specifically with certain words.

They appear random but they aren't. I'm willing to bet that much. Makes you look at the actual word itself when it hits you out of the blue that he's captialised it so there's subsconscious messaging going on there.

Cambridge Analytica tailored what they did to very neat, simple, concise messages (Built the wall, Lock her up, etc) and they probably worked with Trump to highlight when to target words.

What's to stop any future democrat government with majorities in both houses enacting term limits and a bunch of other restrictions on judicial appointments(requiring approval of ABA etc), and the same with law against voter suppression/gerrymandering?

He's not in deep trouble. He's not going to get impeached and his poll numbers are as strong as ever.

He's 100% going to be impeached.

The Senate will then acquit, McConnell has made that clear.

The smart play now is to impeach him in the House and then don't send it to the Senate. Impeach the fker and leave him dangling.

I think that will be something that will now be looked at. Certainly it's been a long term strategy of Moscow Mitch

However, remember that trump has lost almost everytime in court so far, he's several court cases pending or in action against him, several sealed indictments waiting for him when he leaves office. trumps desperately looking forward for just himself when he puts favourable judges in place.

....They want to Impeach me (I’m not worried!), and yet they were all breaking the law in so many ways. How can they do that and yet impeach a very successful (Economy Plus) President of the United States, who has done nothing wrong? These people are Crazy!

Someones very upset...

Gates got 45 days in jail yesterday, rewarded for the evidence he gave
https://edition.cnn.com/2019/12/17/politics/rick-g...


Judge Amy Berman Jackson had thoughtful things to share at Rick Gates’ sentencing today, about the Mueller investigation, transparency, and the truth.

The two judges who probably had the most contact with non-public information from the Mueller investigation, Judge Amy Berman Jackson and Chief Judge Beryl Howell, have gone out of their way to underscore the importance of its subject matter and findings.

Federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson took several minutes during her sentencing of top Mueller cooperator Rick Gates on Tuesday to comment on the Russia investigation, the significance of Gates' choice to cooperate and the gravity of the facts that investigators found regarding Gates' and Paul Manafort's crimes and Russian's interaction with the Trump campaign.

“It's perfectly possible to conduct yourself with ethics, integrity and no hint of scandal, even in politics, even in DC, even in Ukraine.
Politics don't corrupt people, people corrupt politics.”

"In total, more than $75 million flowed through the offshore accounts. Manafort laundered more than $18 million, which was used by him to buy property goods and services in the United States, income that he concealed from the United States Treasury, the Department of Justice..."
