She's Just Biden Her Time


Graham: if Bolton called, ‘There will be 51 Republican votes’ to call the Bidens 
Sen. Lindsey Graham said if Democrats are going to try to bring John Bolton as a witness at the Senate impeachment trial then Democrats should be prepared to see former Vice President Joe Biden, his son Hunter and other key Democrats hauled in as well.

The World Is A Safer Place Without Saddam Trump

Ken Starr pushed so rabidly for the impeachment of Pres. Clinton that his ethics adviser resigned, telling Starr, `You have violated your obligations under the independent counsel statute and have unlawfully intruded on the power of impeachment.” - Paul Begala






One Of Trump's Burned Bridges Believes Bolton
President Donald Trump is denying that he told former National Security Adviser John Bolton he wanted to withhold military aid from Ukraine until the country launched investigations into Joe Biden and his son, allegations that Bolton levies in his new book, according to news reports.
But one of Trump’s former top aides told a Sarasota crowd Monday evening that if the reporting on what Bolton wrote is accurate, he believes Bolton.
“If John Bolton says that in the book I believe John Bolton,” said retired Gen. John Kelly, who served as Trump’s chief of staff for 18 months.


I can’t wait for the day when I don’t have to see Trump’s stupid name or his stupid smirk or his stupid tweets or his stupid goons. A whole Trump-free day, then week, then year. It will be beautiful. - Bryce Tache





Republican Shenanigans

It’s mind blowing the White House had a copy of the Bolton book and nobody thought to call Mitch McConnell about it. It’s like drilling with your cavalry for months only to send them into actual battle without mentioning the horses spook at gunfire. - Kasie Hunt, NBC







Who Leaked Bolton's Book?
The White House and John Bolton’s team agree on this much, at least: It wasn’t us.
As the explosive news of the former national security adviser’s forthcoming book ricochets across Washington — it reportedly accuses the president of tying military aid to Ukraine to investigations of Democrats — each side in the emerging dispute is begging off responsibility for leaking to the New York Times.




2014: Joe Biden is the Vice President.
2014: Hunter Biden joins the board of Burisma.
2014: GOP win control of Senate and House.
They had such a problem with it, such a concern, you know what they did?
They waited...

6 years to investigate it. - YS tweet

Prince Pompeo Is Pissed. No Rapture For NPR!
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s quarrel with NPR escalated on Monday after one of the radio network’s reporters was barred from flying on the secretary’s plane during an upcoming trip to Ukraine.
Michele Kelemen, a veteran reporter for the network, was removed from the list of reporters allowed to fly with Pompeo on a trip to Eastern Europe, only days after the secretary reportedly exploded at another NPR reporter for asking questions about Ukraine. The State Department Correspondents’ Association swiftly condemned the move in a statement on Monday.


People are pointing out the obvious irony/hypocrisy of Starr decrying the normalization of impeachment, but the deeper message here is pretty clear, though not quite stated: We're absolutely going to impeach the next Democratic president. - Chris Hayes, MSNBC

Beyonce Set To Perform At Trump's Impeachment Halftime Show

Ken Starr Decries ‘An Age Of Impeachment,’ Democrats Find His Comments ‘Surreal’
President Donald Trump’s impeachment defense team turned over its presentation on Monday to former independent counsel Ken Starr, who in an ironic turn argued that Congress tries to impeach presidents too often.


As you look at Ken Starr, always remember that he was complicit in covering up multiple sexual assaults at Baylor, and ousted as president, was complicit in giving Jeffrey Epstein an illicit free hand to molest more young girls. He is simply a despicable human being. - Norm Ornstein

Guess what? You can believe John Bolton’s account of Trump’s crimes AND still think he’s a piece of shit who cares more about selling his book than saving his country. It’s easy. I’m doing it right now. - OhNoSheTwint



Bolton Drops Bombshell
Former National Security Advisor John Bolton reportedly undercuts President Donald Trump’s primary legal defense against impeachment in his forthcoming book–a manuscript that is said to confirm that the hold on aid to Ukraine was ordered directly by the president and that the release of that aid was entirely dependent on investigations of the Bidens. Now lawyers are raising questions about what the president’s lawyers knew about this and if they could be liable for making false statements to the Senate.

When Your Wife Is More Important Than The Impeachment Trial
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) said on Sunday that he would miss part of the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump to be with his wife, Joyce Miller, who has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
“On Monday, I will be in New York with her to meet with doctors, determine a path forward, and begin her treatment,” Nadler said in a statement. “I am sorry to miss some of the Senate Impeachment Trial, which is of critical importance to our democracy. I plan to return to Washington late Monday and appreciate the support of my colleagues and staff as I take this time to be with my wife and begin the long fight against her cancer.”

Lordy, they have tapes of Trump

‘Take her out’: recording appears to capture Trump at private dinner saying he wants Ukraine ambassador fired
A recording reviewed by ABC News appears to capture President Donald Trump telling associates he wanted the then U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch fired – and speaking at a small gathering that included Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman -- two former business associates of Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani who have since been indicted in New York.

Republican Shenanigans





Republicans are wastin' a perfectly good impeachment.  It's an awesome opportunity to kick Trump out of office before he destroys their party.  He'd would be immediately disgraced and indicted for his other crimes and they would not longer have to live in fear of him. - Tea Pain

Senate Minority Leader and Democratic New York Senator Chuck Schumer dared Republicans to call Hunter Biden — son of former Vice President Joe Biden and a central figure in the alleged scheme to extort political help from the Ukrainian government — as a witness in the Senate impeachment trial, pointing out that the GOP “have 53 votes,” and adding that to do so would expose their defense of President Donald Trump as purely political.
