Off-Year Elections Show Trump’s Weakness November 17, 2019 at 7:22 am EST
“President Trump campaigned hard in three conservative Southern states this fall, aiming for a string of gubernatorial wins that would demonstrate his political strength heading into impeachment and his own reelection effort,” Politico reports.
“The plan backfired in dramatic fashion.
“The latest black eye came on Saturday, when Trump’s favored candidate in Louisiana, multimillionaire businessman Eddie Rispone, went down to defeat. The president went All-IN, visiting the state THREE times, most recently on Thursday.
Earlier this month, Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin lost reelection after a similar presidential effort on his behalf. Of the candidates Trump backed, only Tate Reeves in Mississippi won.”
One of the nation’s leading doomsayers has been the New York Times’ perpetually mistaken Paul Krugman, who warned shortly after the 2016 election that Trump’s victory would trigger a global recession “with no end in sight.” We could file that under “post-election hysteria,” but as late as April of this year he was still telling crowds that the bond-market signals predicted “a pretty good chance of a recession sometime in the next year or so.” And he has kept this going all year:
February 11: Paul Krugman expects a global recession this year, warns “we don’t have an effective response.”
August 1: “Why Was Trumponomics a Flop?”
August 15: “From Trump Boom to Trump Gloom”
September 5: “Trumpism Is Bad for Business”
October 3: “Here Comes the Trump Slump”
October 24: “The Day the Trump Boom Died”
A couple of weeks after the Trump Boom expired, CNBC reported that “October job creation comes in at 128,000, easily topping estimates even with GM auto strike.” This cycle has been going on for three years.
(My favorite Trump-era Krugmanism, though, is when the esteemed economist explains away his bad predictions by claiming that the economy’s successes are really just driven by instances of his own political preferences playing out — “Impeaching Trump Is Good for the Economy,” “The Economics of Donald J. Keynes,” and so on.)
Of course recessions do happen and when one does he will be patting himself on the back and the "pastor" will be taking a victory lap ignoring all the falsities he pasted over here from political_liar. He's also always wrong, never in doubt.
Pelosi Warns Trump on Whistleblower November 17, 2019 at 9:09 am EST
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told CBS News that she warned President Trump that he’s in her “wheelhouse” when he attempts to “intimidate” the government whistleblower who helped spark the House impeachment probe.
Said Pelosi: “I will make sure he does not intimidate the whistleblower. I told the president you’re in my wheelhouse when you come after the whistleblower.”
IOW, I CAN TAKE YOU TO THE WOOD SHED, AND I WILL, CREEPO.
U.K. Report Could Not Rule Out Russian Interference November 17, 2019 at 9:15 am EST
The report into possible Russian interference that British prime minister Boris Johnson’s government is REFUSING to publish said that the Kremlin may have affected the 2016 Brexit referendum, the Times of London reports.
The report also criticized British intelligence services for not devoting enough resources to combating the threat of the Russian government. _____________
TRUMP: "NO! NO! NO! IT WAS UKRAINE THAT DID IT! IT WAS UKRAINE THAT DID IT!"
Timothy Morrison testified that Fiona Hill said she had questions about Lt. Col. Vindman's judgment and that some people suspected him of being a leaker.
I told the president you’re in my wheelhouse when you come after the whistleblower.”
LOL.
your wheelhouse, nan?
you can barely keep from spitting your dentures out during your pressers. i don't think the president is in any way intimidated by you. not even a little bit.
why, every time you're in front of a microphone we can literally see the synapses misfiring as the words tumble out of your mouth.
We have been informed by the whistleblower’s counsel that their client would like to speak to our committee and has requested guidance from the Acting DNI as to how to do so.
We‘re in touch with counsel and look forward to the whistleblower’s testimony as soon as this week. 11:29 AM - 24 Sep 2019
STILL WAITING
what could possibly have come to light where you would no longer welcome this important testimony and the lineup of subsequent "whistleblowers" ?
“I mean, come on. The Democrats are doing focus groups to try and figure out what words to use to move the needle. The Democrats know this is political and they’re just trying to drag Trump’s name into the mud!” Lisa Booth @foxandfriends Thank you Lisa!
But she's out playing this inept President every day.
uh huh.
by painting herself into a fucking corner with this impeachment strategery.
LOL.
pederast, you excel at child rape. political analysis and pontification? not so much.
(CNN)House Democrats are publicly holding out hope that historic impeachment hearings will persuade a vast majority of the American public that President Donald Trump committed high crimes and misdemeanors — but privately many acknowledge that it's unlikely to happen.
In a private meeting this week, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her top lieutenants were skeptical about the prospects of a dramatic shift in opinion even as public impeachment hearings began this week, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. The upshot, the sources said: Democrats need to move forward with impeachment proceedings even if the politics are murky, noting that even during Richard Nixon's presidency most of the public was divided until soon before he was forced to resign.
The upshot, the sources said: Democrats need to move forward with impeachment proceedings even if the politics are murky, noting that even during Richard Nixon's presidency most of the public was divided until soon before he was forced to resign.
The elephant in the room is that high-up bad actors from the previous administration (and now usually MSM "contributors") are now under actual criminal investigation.
Reports are coming.
And likely indictments.
Despite an all out war by the MSM and the "resistance" truth will win out.
Attorney General Barr delivered the 19th Annual Barbara K. Olson Memorial Lecture at the Federalist Society’s 2019 National Lawyers Convention in Washington on Friday. The Department of Justice has posted the text here. I have omitted emphases, corrected a few typographical errors (not all the corrections are indicated), and posted the full text below. I have also posted video of the speech below the text (about 60 minutes).
The speech is long — 6,000 words long. One can measure the excellence of the speech by the apoplexy it has induced among the lunatic left. They are intoxicated with impeachment mania. Insofar as Barr articulates a true understanding of “the Resistance” and a profound critique of the administrative state, Barr must be destroyed. I read the speech to reflect the true thoughts of a scholar and experience practitioner at the highest levels of government who feels free — and feels compelled — to speak his mind. Here it is:
The Democrats think that they have the goods on Trump, but that millions of voters are too thick-headed to understand what “abuse of power,” the latest strand of spaghetti to be thrown against the wall after “quid pro quo,” “extortion,” and “bribery,” means. But impeachment charges are kind of like jokes, the more you have to explain them, the less effective they are.
To make matter worse for Democrats, not only are they failing to move the needle among Americans, they are struggling to make them care at all. TV ratings for the impeachment hearings on Wednesday were sharply down from those during the James Comey, and Christine Blasey Ford testimonies. Axios has a good breakdown on the myriad reasons this might be the case, but clearly last week’s argument from Democrats that the power of television would be a game changer is falling flat on its face.
[...]
The upshot is that Democrats know this isn’t going well, or at least as well as they had hoped. And yet, they appear to feel that if they have gone this far they have to see it through. They will have a day or two to celebrate with the base the symbolic victory of impeaching Trump, the top policy position of the party for three years now. Then they can pivot to calling every GOP senator who doesn’t vote to convict, a corrupt hack.
Meanwhile the show goes on, at least for a little while longer. And while it might not be must watch TV, the result of this effort will help to define the 2020 race for president. Right now, the White House has every reason to be just fine with that.
good question. they've been a member since 1952, and as with many institutions that devolve to the point of eventually become fucking useless (see: UN), at the very least they should probably be expelled, and we should probably re-think the entire institution.
trump had the audacity to question NATO's members and the existence of the institution as a whole. something that was long overdue and sent the usual suspects on the left completely over the edge.

I'm outraged at the insinuation Trump couldn't trust Obama holdovers at the State Dept. to investigate Biden corruption in Ukraine!
BTW, is Obama's friend that shielded his brother-in-law from a rape investigation still running for President, or did he drop out yet?

@MarshaBlackburn
Proven liar Adam Schiff is a witness in the Dems’ 3 year witch hunt to impeach @realDonaldTrump. We need to know:
1) How many times did his staff meet with the whistleblower?
2) Has Schiff met with the whistleblower?
3) Did Schiff’s staff help write the whistleblower report?
important questions to be asked and answered under oath in such a "serious" process
Any questions any members of the committee want to ask the whistleblower may be submitted in writing.
But the whistleblower's second hand testimony is no longer important.
It has been and is being corroborated by first hand witnesses.
Another attempt at diversion: FAILED.
TICK TOCK
ROFLMFAO !!!
The whistleblower is now a diversion

No, your attempt to make the second hand report of the whistleblower relevant is a RIDICULOUS diversion.

Why are they in NATO?
Our God commands us to be violent towards the kuffar (infidels). Who are we? The ummah [nation] of Mohammed. So [God] also commands us to be merciful to each other. So we will be merciful to each other. And we will be violent to the kuffar. Like in Syria.”
Erdogan then referred to another Koranic verse, As-Saff-13, in Arabic:
“Inshallah, God has promised us in Syria: 'Nasrun minallahi ve fethun karib ve beşşiril mu'minin.' [‘Victory from Allah and an imminent conquest; and give good tidings to the believers’]. We see it is happening right now. With the permission of Allah, we will see it even more... I will meet some presidents of foreign countries at the Dolmabahce Palace today. I ask for your permission now to go there.”
