Shouting match erupts in Vindman deposition as Democrats accuse Republicans of trying to out whistleblower

Shouting match erupts in Vindman deposition as Democrats accuse Republicans of trying to out whistleblower
Democrats and Republicans got into a shouting match behind closed doors on Tuesday while interviewing a witness in the impeachment investigation, with Democrats accusing Republicans of trying to out the anonymous whistleblower who sparked the impeachment inquiry, according to five sources from both parties.

“He received a Purple Heart. You’re receiving subpoenas.” — Kamala Harris claps back at Trump for his unpatriotic attack on Lt. Col. Vindman

Lest We Not Forget: George W. Bush's Legacy Is Invading Iraq and Destabilizing the Region
Gunmen opened fire on protesters in the Shiite holy city of Karbala on Tuesday, killing 18 people and wounding hundreds, The Associated Press reported, citing Iraqi security officials.
The attack by masked shooters came during a fifth consecutive day of demonstrations protesting corruption, a lack of jobs and other matters, according to the AP. The news outlet reported that 240 people have been killed since the protests began earlier this month.

Yes, refusing to testify in front of congress is always a great way to declare no wrongdoing. It’s like these Assholes have never read a history book, just like their baboon president. - Chelsea Handler


Republican Shenanigans

Rudy Giuliani butt dialed an NBCNews reporter while he was talking to someone about needing money and Biden. You know you're f-cked when your own ass is trying to send you to jail. - Bette Midler





All The President's Consiglieres 
In an interview earlier this month with Yahoo News, Giuliani responded with an unequivocal “Yes, sir” when asked if he is representing Trump pro bono, including covering expenses. Jay Sekulow, Trump’s other main personal attorney, says his work for Trump is paid, but declined to say by whom or how much.
Until now, Trump’s legal arrangements have been in a gray area of regulation, but critics are trying to change that and the OGE is currently considering establishing new rules for how members of the executive branch can pay for their personal legal needs.

Trump Boos Reached “Almost 100 Decibels” at Nats Game

Trump Boos Reached “Almost 100 Decibels” at Nats Game
Donald Trump has rarely returned to New York City since becoming president, likely because, despite the fact that he calls the city home, most people who live there can’t stand him. Yet there may be a place that hates him even more, and that’s Washington, DC, where he received a humiliating 4% of the vote in 2016.

Back off, haters!  Yes, Trump was booed at the World Series but only because Crooked Hillary filled the stadium with the 3 million paid illegal immigrants that registered & voted against him 2016.

And the poor guy just realized that Matt Gaetz isn't Barron.- John Fugelsang

Oh Great. The US Army Is Going To Release a Snuff Film
Asked at a press briefing if the US military has video or photos of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's final moments, Army Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said, "We do have videos, photos."
"We're not prepared to release those...they're going through a declassification process," Milley said.
He added that the photos and videos would be released by the military in the coming days.

This So-called Christian Wants to Hunt Down Democrats. Jesus Weeps.
President Donald Trump's supporters will "hunt down" Democrats and bring "violence to America" once the president leaves office, according to right-wing Christian pastor and conspiracy theorist Rick Wiles.
On his apocalyptic TruNews programme, captured by Right Wing Watch, Mr Wiles said the president's impeachment or "however he leaves" office will inspire "veterans, cowboys, mountain men" and "guys that know how to fight" to bring "violence to America" by hunting down Mr Trump's political enemies.

Will Bolton Torch Trump?
Lawyers for former national security advisor John Bolton have been in touch with officials working on the House committees conducting an impeachment probe into President Donald Trump, a person close to Bolton told NBC News on Friday.
The news comes more than a week after the White House’s former top Europe expert, Fiona Hill, testified to Congress that Bolton has been so disturbed by efforts to get Ukraine to investigate Trump’s political opponents that he called it a “drug deal.”








You should all lower your expectations.  
Bolton is above all A HARDCORE FAR RIGHT WARMONGER who puts ideology above country every single goddamned time.
