When Giving Trump The Finger Pays Off
The cyclist who flipped off President Donald Trump's motorcade in 2017, and lost her job because of it, has won her bid for local office in Virginia.
CNN projected that Juli Briskman on Tuesday night won her race to become supervisor for the Algonkian District in Loudoun County, Virginia. The win comes just over two years after a photo of Briskman flipping off the President's motorcade as it made its way back to the White House from Trump's golf course in Sterling, Virginia, went viral in October 2017. Her lawyer said she was forced to resign from her job as a marketing executive at Akima LLC over the photo.

The Associated Press reports unofficial results from Election Day found the proposal to remove King’s name garnered nearly 70 percent of the vote, compared to just more than 30 percent of voters wanting to keep his name on the boulevard.

Oh, the famous "memory refresh"

Diplomat says he told Ukraine that aid was conditioned on announcing investigation in new testimony
US Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland amended his previous closed-door testimony with House impeachment investigators to say that he told a top Ukrainian political aide that the release of US security aid was conditioned on Ukraine publicly announcing an investigation that would help President Donald Trump politically.

It's all fun and games until Gordon Sondland realizes that going to prison isn't worth it and rats out your greasy little Ukraine shakedown scheme and do you hear that hammering sound? it's another nail in the impeachment coffin bro. - Jeff Tiedrich

Democratic Party Drama
Senate Democrats are nearly united in their opposition to Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-Mass.), the scion of their party’s most fabled family, in his bid to unseat Sen. Ed Markey (D).
Kennedy, a 39-year-old graduate of Harvard Law School, is putting his political career on the line by taking on a Democratic incumbent who has been a fixture in Congress since 1976. His campaign also marks the best hope of putting a Kennedy back in the Senate or White House in the foreseeable future.

4 White House officials slated for depositions in impeachment inquiry not expected to show up
Four White House officials slated for closed-door depositions Monday are not expected to show up on Capitol Hill despite the threat of subpoena from the committees leading the growing impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump related to Ukraine...House Democrats have a packed schedule this week as depositions continue behind closed doors.

a recap: 
Trump is a genius but you can't see his grades 
Trump is healthy but you can't see his medical report 
Trump is rich but you can't see his tax returns 
Trump is innocent but you can't see the unedited transcript 
Trump is honest but you can't question the White House lawyers. - Jeff Tiedrich

Trump Says Quid Pro Quo Is Okey Dokey!
While President Trump continues to insist he did not demand a quid pro quo from the president of Ukraine — military and political support in exchange for an investigation of former Vice President Joe Biden and his son — on Sunday he appeared to be trying out a subtly different defense: If there was a quid pro quo, there was nothing wrong with it.







Still, impeaching Donald Trump should be strictly Plan B.
