    Why didn’t the latest Trump revelations come out before the election? Although it is rare for a party to impeach their own guy.

  2. 2

    @ ER @ 1

    There were hints and murmurs about it, but the GOP and the Conservatives just did not give a shit. They’re so tribalistic and dedicated to their paradigm that they ignored all of it, and continue to deny it even when their noses are being shoved in it. Now, that their man is Vice-President, they can start worrying it in the press.

    Now they can impeach the Cheeto-Faced Shit-Gibbon with a clear conscience and present to the public as being “necessary” in the light of “new” revelations about the CFSG’s personal debts to the Russian Bank-Gangers and how the Nation needs the appearance of integrity in the Executive Branch.

    They wanted Pence all along. They’ll short stroke the CFSG as long as they can, and for whatever length of time they need, as long as his bullshit lasts.

    Pence is a true believer in the Seven Mountains Dominion. He’s a genuine Christian Reconstructionist.

    He will put Jesus in charge of the White House.

    When the facts of a case conflict with the TRUTH, the TRUTH must prevail in spite of the facts.

    And everyone knows, the Bible is all about the TRUTH, not the facts.

    Just ask the Schizo.

    Maybe I missed it, Railfan, and you brought it up already.

    California’s bullet train is hurtling toward a multibillion-dollar overrun, a confidential federal report warns

    http://www.latimes.com/local/c.....story.html

    Read it all, really. It’s chock-full of so many of the consequences of Democratic rule.

    Remember that CA budget surplus last year? Good times, good times.

    …Gov. Jerry Brown warned Tuesday that California’s projected 2017-18 budget shows a $1.6-billion deficit.

    And of course Brown doesn’t want the cost overruns to be looked at too carefully. After all, why in the world would anyone want accurate project cost estimates?

    Brown, meanwhile, has sought to shield the project from interference. He vetoed a bill with bipartisan support in September that would have increased oversight of the project and clarified estimates of how much the project will cost. And last January, a joint committee rejected a proposal to ask the California state auditor to examine the project for the first time in four years.

    CA can’t even do its environmental review on the project without spending nearly three times as much as it should have.

    The original cost projection, made in a September 2010 grant agreement with the Federal Railroad Administration, put the cost at $388 million. By last August, the authority’s official “funding contribution plan” showed that cost had jumped to $1.03 billion.

    The cost increase amounted to 171%.

    Oh, and this project is using still-unspent 2009 federal stimulus dollars.

    Yeah, this is the state which would have elected #CrookedHillary, had Dems successfully retroactively changed the way that presidential elections are held in this country.

    Hey, look at the bright side. At least the rest of it will be fun for conservatives not living in CA to watch and report on, right?

    @ 5

    Heh. After mocking Trump for not pledging to respect the legitimacy of the election prior to the election, the House #3 Democrat refuses to respect the legitimacy of the election result.

    Stronger TogetherDo What We Say. Not What We Do.

    @ 1, 2

    Party which ignored the revelations about its own horrid candidate chastises the other party for ignoring revelations about theirs. With comedy gold like this, why in the hell would I want to leave?

    It would be an unprecedented act for a party to impeach its own president, nicht war?

    I’m fine with a President Pence. Make Rubio VP. Then the election result is two true conservatives running the Executive Branch, one of them in a position to do in 2020 what Julian Castro might have been a finalist to do last year.

    Gofer it.

    Thanks for the memories, Mr. President.

    Assad Linked to Syrian Chemical Attacks for First Time

    The U.N.-OPCW inquiry–known as the Joint Investigative Mechanism–is led by a panel of three independent experts, supported by a team of technical and administrative staff. It is mandated by the U.N. Security Council to identify individuals and organizations responsible for chemical attacks in Syria.

    @ #7

    I don’t know what you’re complaining about. The only reason the thing is being built, is because the Casino magnates in Las Vegas need a high-speed rail service to reduce the number of cars in their fine city, and most of that traffic comes out of Los Angeles. Thus, they demanded and got the State of California to foot the entire cost of building it.

    Capitalism at work, baby. The best way to make money is to make other people pay the bills.

    The automobile traffic between Los Angeles and Las Vegas is almost as bad as the I-5 corridor though downtown Seattle is sometimes. There are a lot of folks who live in Palm Springs and commute into San Bernardino or Anaheim every day. That or the other direction, all the way to the R&D bases in the desert around Victorville and Twentynine palms.

    What “revelations”? The ones where everyone with the authority to make the goddamn decision about it, all agree that no crimes were committed, and no actionable response exists. She as the Secretary of State, did nothing different from any of her predecessors did. She did her job as best she could considering the fact of the incredible opposition coming out of Congress. The entire “scandal” you think exists, was created entirely out of nothing by people who really, really didn’t want her as President. Trey Gowdy and others spoke openly about how that specifically was the basic intended purpose of the everlasting GOP-Stomper investigations. They were an utter sham from the beginning.

    Keep licking those jackboots boy. Maybe someday, they’ll let you start doing the tops.

    @7 and maybe if Repuke could do the right thing and get behind something like a bullet train, then maybe we could get it done without all the cost over runs and problem, seeing that Repukes can do everything better than Dems, even though when it comes down to it, the people involved with the construction are not just democrats, but blame a party is best.

    So because Repukes can’t get behind something good then we are stuck with Dems fucking things up! Enjoy it. Just like national healthcare – the only solutions Repukes have is, let people die and go without, so that leads to The Heritage plan (Obama care) and because of the. And difference it is Dems fucking up.

    Can’t you see that it doesn’t matter. People make up this Country not politicians, it’s the people that are fuck ups not the politicians. Politicians know that and realize you dumbfucks can’t do anything about it or make it anyway right because you are all dumbfucks.

    The biggest two dumbfuck are Abigail and PissCan. The only thing PissCan can muster is to call people swishy, which accomplished a ton. He thinks he’s a fucking builder but can’t even build a schedule do he lets his admin assistant do it with Microsoft Project.

    4 – An armed citizen saved an Arizona cop’s life a couple of days ago. The armed citizen didn’t even carry his weapon on him – he carried it in his car’s trunk. He had to stop his car and retrieve his weapon, but he was still able to shoot the bad guy and save the cop’s life.

    Google it and read about it yourself. Maybe you’ll learn something.

    @21

    And for every one of those I can point to 5 children under the eighteen killed by the household gun.

    “I found a gun story that fits my view that guns keep us safe. Google it. NonInrefuse to acknowledge the far more numerous accidental shootings by law abiding gun owners on Google. You can’t make me read that for there is nothing to be learned. Neiner Neiner Neiner.”

    @16 If Trump achieves a porn-free America, there’s going to be a lot of unhappy Republicans out there, and if they get desperate enough they might start raping real people.

    @19 And my brethren of the bar sue people like you when you fuck up. Thanks! We appreciate the business. There are entire law firms that do nothing but construction litigation, and they’re doing quite well.

  32. 32

    @21 This is the first time I’ve ever heard of an armed citizen saving a cop. (Good for him, btw.) Which makes the ratio of armed citizens doing good to the ratio of armed citizens being responsible for harm roughly 100,000:1, which makes me not wanting to be around armed citizens. I would really appreciate it if you armed citizens out there don’t come to the church where I worship, the schools my kids attend, the stores I shop in, or the theaters I go to. Thanks.

  33. 33

    @32,
    I come away with an entirely different take.

    What the fuck is wrong with all these worthless cowardly hillbillies?
    The numbers don’t lie. More guns than ever. Yet more cops getting gunned down! More school shootings than ever! More mall and theater shootings than ever! More guns can only keep us safe if the gun owners use the fucking guns for something other than jerking off. The “good guys with a gun” aren’t keeping us safe. The hillbillies are shitting their coveralls and running for cover!

    The time has come for a call out to all the cowardly big talking pussy hillbillies. If you overcompensating Barney Fifes go around armed to the teeth with a military arsenal you need to sack up and do your hillbilly duty! The next time one of “the blacks” flashes a gun where will you be? Cowering in your trailer in a puddle of your own urine? Or out there on the streets taking the fight to the enemy?

  34. 34

    @ 29

    I was wondering which one of you would respond that way. Really, I shouldn’t have wondered, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit.

    1. Nixon wasn’t impeached.
    2. Impeachment is by the House of Representatives, and had every single Republican in the House at that time voted for Nixon’s impeachment, it still wouldn’t have been enough. While I’m at it I should point out that had a sufficient number of House Democrats voted for impeachment of Nixon without a single Republican vote, he would have been impeached.
    3. Democrats also controlled the Senate at that time. Impeachment doesn’t remove a president from office. See Clinton, William Jefferson.

    As I said, impeachment of a president by his own party would be unprecedented. You cocksucking dumbfuck.

  35. 35

    @28 I don’t. Hopefully there are nuclear bombs for everyone, that would even be better!

  37. 37

    Bob throwing in a cocksucking now…..sounds like Trump is getting to him, I can’t wait for the Inaugural Salute.

  39. 39

    @34 “Impeachment doesn’t remove a president from office.”

    Now it’s your turn to be a dumbfuck. I didn’t say it did. You claimed it would be “unprecedented … for a party to impeach its own president.” But it was two Republican senators and a Republican representative who persuaded Nixon to resign by telling him Republicans would join with Democrats to impeach and remove him if he didn’t.

    @7:

    Good to see you’re getting a head start on finding distractions to talk about, since the upcoming festival of thievery and incompetence is going to require a lot of misdirection from your lot over the next several years.

    You’re equal to the challenge of providing chronic irrelevant distractions, though; the wig, nose and big shoes fit you almost as well as do the knee pads you were born to wear.

    Elections have consequences.

    @39,
    Please forgive me, but just to be precise, I believe it was “cocksucking dumbfuck”.
    Hillbilly trolls seem preoccupied with precision.

    And cocksucking.

  45. 45

    Why didn’t the latest Trump revelations come out before the election?

    Because no one could verify them Mark Adams. Even the NY Times mentioned they were flimsy at best.

    This is why only the third and fourth tier toilets sites used by Da Perfessa made all those comments above. BuzzFeed lost a lot of mojo over this too! Been out for months and no one used it. They need eyes and Da Perfessa provides those eyes to these toilet sites!

    Read it all, really. It’s chock-full of so many of the consequences of Republican rule.

    Does anyone know if Trump’s campaign vendors and workers have been paid yet? What’s Katrina Pierson doing now, collecting unemployment? I don’t see her name on any appointment lists.

    Somebody else got the White House Press Secretary job she was drooling over. So far as I know, she didn’t even get a typist job.

    Do you guys want to win, or do you want to continue with the snarkiness and elitism because it makes you feel so superior?

  65. 65

    @64

    No, we expected a former Senator and Secretary of State to become President. She won the popular vote by millions. New York State’s voters — you know, the people who knew both candidates well — chose her. But you folks fell for the con game of a reality TV star.

    @66:

    Keep telling yourself that Hillary Clinton is finished. I’m sure it will prevent her return in exactly the same way calling Patty Murray stupid quickly ended her time in the Senate.

    And you’re throwing the term “influence-peddling” around like you know what it means. How funny! Any word on when Washington state’s Republican Members of Congress will resume their assault on their own Ethics Committee?

    Your GOP friends in D.C. certainly realize this. It works conversely, too. That’s why their first act in office was to get rid of ethics oversight. Meanwhile, you’re celebrating the dawning of the next era of Republican corruption.

    @77 “Meanwhile you ignored millions of blue-collar workers and failed to connect with those of them whose jobs had been lost or threatened. Not only failed to connect, but insulted them instead.”

    And to show how smart they are, they voted for the people who broke their unions, outsourced their jobs, stole their homes, and screwed them out of their pensions. That’ll show ’em!!!

    “How’d that work out for you, asswipe?”

    Worked out for me fine, as I’m sure it did for you, too. The DJIA is up, what, 8.9% since the election? Sure beats working for honest wages.

    @ 82

    Gee. Losing two Senate seats doesn’t sound like winning to me at all. Except the GOP had 54 to begin with. Senators serve six-year terms, and 2014 was a bloodbath for Democrats. Elections have consequences. You continue to experience them. Consider yourself lucky that the magnitude of the red wave in 2014 was sufficiently unplanned for that the GOP didn’t provide Ed Gillespie the support he needed.

    Losing six House seats also sounds troublesome, doesn’t it? Except the GOP had 241 of them before the election, and the House is controlled by 218 seats. So the GOP still has, um, 17 seats to spare, by my count. That’s quite a lot.

    Overall, after 2014 the GOP congressional majorities were the largest in nearly 90 years. Thank you, former Senator Reid, for all you have done for the GOP’s control until the 2018 election. If not beyond then, given the Senate Dems’ challenges in the upcoming cycle.

    Oh, and that popular vote presidential thing you pussies keep bringing up? Rather irrelevant. Just ask the soon to be former employees of the Clinton Global Initiative.

    Your ilk has successfully weaponized so much of government over the past two presidential terms, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit. Now you get to experience the joy of being the target of that which you hath wrought.

    Lay back and try to enjoy it.

    Well take our huge tax breaks, our lax regulatory climate, and a federal government without ethics constraints and well invest in permits to flood your filthy trailer parks with the tailings of our extravagent consumer lifestyles.
    Then well sit back and laugh watching you sister-fucking toothless inbred White Supremacists plead with Vlad’s hand puppet to turn a trade and immigration war with Mexico into millions of coal mining jobs.

    @84 Yes, Boob, the Democrats made mistakes. Their biggest mistake was not growing a backbone and standing up to you lying, thieving perverts when they had the chance. Now the gullible fools who fell for their propaganda are going to pay the price. We elites will do fine, like we always do. Funny how those things work out, isn’t it?

    The Seattle Times ran an editorial today summing up Ogama’s legacy. Unlike many ST editorials, it’s objective, well reasoned, moderate in tone, and not partisan. Predictably, rightwingers are filling the comment thread with their mouth-foaming hate. There’s no reasoning with these people; that’s like trying to make friends with a rattlesnake by feeding it rats and then trying to pet the snake. The only safe thing to do is give the fucking snake the widest possible berth. But one thing you gotta say for rattlesnakes is that, unlike Republicans, they usually don’t bite each other.

    Really, though, it was opportunity lost. She was so awful. So, so incredibly awful. And really, you have not learned. Just look at the person still running the DNC.

    Well lookee here, Reince Priebus went on teevee this afternoon and said President Obama should “step up” and vouch for President-Elect Trump’s legitimacy. “You didn’t have Republicans questioning whether or not Obama legitimately beat John McCain in 2008,” Priebus added.

    No, we didn’t. We merely had Republicans questioning whether Obama was an American citizen, asserting his birth certificate was forged and his birth announcement in the Honolulu newspaper was fake, and loudly proclaiming that he was an illegitimate president. But they never questioned the fact that he soundly beat Senator McCain at the ballot box.

    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/.....81d0eb61ad

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: Republicans have been hypocrites their entire lives, so why should they change now? Besides, we’re not questioning Trump’s legitimacy. We accept the election results. The only things we’re talking about are his racism, bigotry, sexual assaults, childlike temperament, policy ignorance, conflicts of interest, perverted behavior with Russian prostitutes, and whether he’s Putin’s stooge.

    “The President has a duty and obligation to comply with the law, but again he’s exempt from almost all of these things,” Chaffetz said. “Now the Emoluments Clause, he’s going to have to look at, and we’ll see how that rolls out.”

    United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 9, PP 8:

    “No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.”

    Is any of that unclear somehow? This man Chaffetz, who has spent the entirety of his legislative career doing literally nothing other than hounding a woman who “might someday” become a candidate for President. Now, he’s openly stating that he will defy Constitutional Law as he sees fit, as it apparently no longer applies to anyone not firmly ensconced in the Republican Party Hierarchy.

    You know why these guys were going after her so hard? Because she believes in the Rule of Law. The Republicans believe only in the Rule of Man, that is, a King. They don’t care what The Don does, as long as they get to keep their seats in Congress and they continue to make money on everything they touch.

    As President, she would have enforced the Law. I think, pretty damn well, and they would have been the targets for this as they are all apparently Felons of one type or another. Hell, much of the time they don’t even deny it. Clinton had a pretty strong reputation as a hellava litigator, and was as sharp a Lawyer as anyone could be. She ran rings around guys like this.

    They hate her for the same reasons that criminals hate Prosecuting Attorneys. They hated Obama because he was the same sort of individual. He knew the Constitution all the way around and inside, and out.

    Oh, that, and the fact that he had African ancestry, which is really the greater part of their hatred.

    Congratulations Conservatives, you put the Russian Mob and their domestic representatives in charge of the entire US Government. You sold the nation out to a man who would rather see a nuke dropped on San Francisco than lose a couple hundred $Million in a business deal. If he can make a buck off of something, he will.

    This is one area our alleged politicians in robes don’t really understand politics though. Some justices do have a real understanding of how politics, political parties ect actually work. They are most likely not to be even nominated to the Supreme court. So we end up with justices who have spent the last 10 to 20 years on the appeal and trial Federal courts, which means we don’t get enough of a breadth of different experiences on the court. We really could use a Joe or Sandy on the court.

    While there are some concerns about a rich guy with foreign business deals being our next President are more than a bit overblown. Our first President was a rich guy (as were several of the first 9 Presidents) and he almost did not accept the $25,000 annual salary congress gave him. He took it so the Presidency was not limited to rich men who could afford to be President without being paid. (Of course he expected Congress to pay his expenses, but something about 6 white horses Congress found excessive and passed the salary.)
    Clearly these early Presidents had other income and businesses. Some of the current arguments are about things that have become commonplace only in the past 50 years. Still when you consider President Washington perhaps there is a lot of unnecessary thunder out there.

  125. 125

    @120 Well, actually, the president has authority to suspend habeas corpus in cases of rebellion or invasion. Now, whether the South Dakota protests fit that interpretation is open to debate, I guess.

    @7 Or in part the cost of government doing a major project. Eisenhower’s mega project the Federal Super Highway system didn’t come in under budget or on time. Some sections came in under but they were the exception, and benefited from experience of what had been built.

    A system built for profit would try to build such a system as quickly as possible. Buying the land quietly and then getting the crews out and building it, getting more bang out of those 2009 dollars. Overruns may happen but they will tend to be smaller, and things like environmental reviews will be ignored if possible, done sloppily, or just fabricated. The best solution won’t be used if it’s too costly. (Which is why there is a viaduct in Seattle.) Earthquakes: What earthquakes California is totally stable.
    Of course there could have been some low estimates to sell the project.

  132. 132

    @125 That would be Congress with that power. And when Abraham Lincoln suspended habeas corpus (probably a correct move on his part when he did it) the Supreme Court did rule the action unconstitutional. We won’t know if the President could apply it to the protests up there in the Dakota’s (the oil companies would love it if he did) until a President does it, and someone has actually been harmed by the action. That should apply to the guys being held at a place President Obama promised to close in part because when he put his constitutional scholar hat on it seemed to candidate Obama a breach of habeas corpus as wrong. Not so much President Obama.

    @39 Well it did not happen in 1974. Nixon resigned before the House voted. It has been argued that Nixon should not have resigned, as the Democrats did not have enough votes and could only impeach Nixon with Republican votes. Perhaps he should have hung in there as the Republicans thought they had the votes in impeach Clinton, and way back when the Republicans thought they had the votes to impeach Andrew Johnson a life long Democrat, but a Republican when he was Vice President, but failed by one vote. And it’s entirely possible the Republicans may have tried impeaching Lincoln if he hadn’t been assassinated, Winning a civil war also has consequences.

    @131 I don’t have a problem with an Asian or Native American on SCOTUS who is a lawyer capable of handling the complexity of the legal issues that come before the court. For example, someone who can read this opinion, then demonstrate that s/he is conversant with the court rules and procedures, legal concepts, legal issues, statutes and common law, and precedents bearing on the case before the Court, and is capable of factual and legal analysis at this level.

    https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/16pdf/16-67_2c8f.pdf

    Law, like any other profession, requires specialized knowledge, training, and experience. It’s possible for a bricklayer or waitress to fill a job as a surgeon, astronomer, computer programmer, airline pilot, or Supreme Court justice if s/he has the relevant background and skills. Laying bricks or waiting tables does not disqualify one from any of those jobs, if one has the relevant qualifications, but lack of requisite qualifications does.

    I have had a few issues with the way HSR in California is being built. It’s easy to build in the Central Valley for now, although land acquisition in the cities is a hurdle. The toughest part is Tehachapi, and it would have been a good idea to ask the Swiss Federalike Railway if a base tunnel like the recently opened Gothard Bse Tunnel would work.

    http://sf.streetsblog.org/2016.....nd-fix-it/

    Also, the San Francisco Peninsula line will be upgraded so part of the blended plan, with electrification. The Stadler KISS EMU ‘s have two sets of doors, one on the lower deck , and another on the mezzanine level, to accommodate the high floors of the rolling stock to be used with hsr. There are efforts to maintain cargo operations at the Port of San Francisco, and Union Pacific still has three freights on the Peninsula line, but not enough traffic that they are spinning it off to a short line. This is one where I hope that the biggest short line operator in the US wins it, because Genesee and Wyoming owns few operations in Europe, and one in Holland runs with Electric Locomotives. The Peninsula line is perfect territory to try Bombardier ‘s TRAXX Last Mile locomotive.

    Do the pig ignorant sister-fucking racist hillbillies ever stop to wonder how many RU 486 DIY abortion kits have been distributed over the decades by Vlad’s tax cheating golden showering perverted hand puppet?

    No, butt we can see how one of those RU 486 kits failed miserably and unfortunately we have Lying Liars Shouldn’t Lie AKA Elijah Dominic McDotCom @146 spewing worthless recycled DUMMOCRETIN hate in every thread multiple times per day! CDC data proves DUMMOCRETINS abort more babies everyday. Need to view it again? It’s so bad California will not submit their state data to the CDC because like the 2016 vote, so many DUMMOCRETIN babies are overwhelmingly aborted in DUMMOCRETIN cities!

    Sux to be Lying Liars Shouldn’t Lie AKA Elijah Dominic McDotCom!

    Maybe you should change your name to Erectile Dysfunction McDotCom! No one gets a rise anymore from your vile insipid bile. Each day we witness the full dysfunction of that femtometer sized single celled amoeba in that neanderthal granite encased cranial orifice!

    Butt butt butt ERF @149,

    The vomit producing deadfrog from @12 told everyone that HSR was only being built for Casino magnates in Las Vegas to get car-less people en-mass to Vegas! And we know how many times the vomit producing deadfrog has been right on this blog. You can count those two times on your left hand!

    Why your left hand? Because you wipe your butt with your left hand and eat with your right hand. The filth spewed by the vomit producing deadfrog is only wipe-able.

Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
