    An example of the lawlessness the GOP Senators created when they acquitted Trump. Removing the Director of National intelligence, for briefing Congress, and replaced with an appointee with no background in Intelligence.

    On the commutation of Blagojevich , when he was removed from office, the vote was bipartisan.

  3. 3

    Creepy Grandpa Joe Biden claims to have been arrested in an attempt to see Mandela, while a congressman.

    Andrew Young calls bullshit.

    Now, Biden’s old and perhaps he is confusing that event with his arrest for groping a six year-old girl while serving as Obama’s vice president.

  5. 5

    2,
    “…replaced with an appointee with no background in Intelligence…”

    …who as recently as last year was taking a paycheck from…
    … wait for it…
    … Putin.

    But really, it’s just a coincidence. Everybody does business with these people. It’s nothing. Hey! Look over there! Some “violent liberal” threw toilet paper at Trump Poop Girl! Summon the SWAT Team!

  6. 6

    Don’t become like the others, Railfan. Your post @ 2 was disappointing:

    An example of the lawlessness the GOP Senators created when they acquitted Trump.

    Remember why Obama removed Stanley McChrystal? It was for criticizing Obama.

    Obama commuted the sentence of Bradley Manning, who was convicted on six counts of espionage. His appeal was unanimously denied. Kinda like a bipartisan vote, Railfan.

    Clinton pardoned Marc Rich, who was a fugitive at the time. Was that a example of the lawlessness the Senate created when it acquitted Clinton for the impeachable crime of perjury?

    Railfan, all presidents pull shit like this. It’s not lawless because the Constitution empowers them to do so.

    Don’t become like the others on HA, Railfan. Don’t become a clown.

  7. 7

    Remember kids.

    You’ve “overused” some “words” and “over reached” and “extreme” and “derangement” because hiring a guy on Vladimir Putin’s payroll to be your Director of National Intelligence with cabinet level access to all agency intelligence streams including the Department of Defense WAS NEVER, EVER TREASON.

    Yup. /s

  10. 10

    Words used on HA such that they no longer hold their true meaning, cont:

    “millionaire”
    “capitalist”

    You’re neither, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit. What you are is former failed attorney and a lifelong fucking clown.

    Reflecting on “Deeply Principled” former House Speaker Googly Eyed Granny-Starver, had Democrats stayed home in 2018 and allowed Ryan to remain in charge Russian battle tanks would be parked in downtown Kiev right now.

  12. 12

    @ 11

    Had Republicans not stayed home in 2012 Russian battle tanks wouldn’t have parked in Crimea until a certain former US president signaled “Uncle”.

    More flexibility, y’all.

    Cuz Boehner lost or something… LOOK! SQUIRREL!

    Wut. A. Dumbfuck.

    Also traitor. And racist. And pussy. Just words. Words with actual events and circumstances behind them. Like Charlottesville!

  14. 14

    I’m a traitor because I never voted for Trump and because I’m spending substantial time pointing out that y’all are about to nominate someone who will ensure Trump’s re-election.

    Got it.

  15. 15

    Seattle Times endorsed Klobuchar.

    Did I mention that y’all are about to nominate someone who will ensure Trump’s re-election?

  17. 17

    14,
    Look, bot-farm pussy, even if such claims were credible, they could not overcome your consistent adoption of outlandishly absurd and demonstrably false Trumpist fables about DERP STATE! conspiracies against your beloved leader, “Leftist” satanic cabals dining on the entrails of infants in the invisible basements of pizza restaurants, or secret time travel to frame Paul Manafort, George Papadapolous, and associates, among many others.

    These things make it clear you’ve become insane. But they also demonstrate very clearly that you are willing to go insane if that is what it takes to help and support the presidency of Donald Trump. Who really did just appoint a guy on Putin’s payroll to run all US intelligence at the cabinet level. Which is a very “traitor” thing to do to those of us who are not going insane.

    #youbuiltthat and you are still building it every single day with every single unhinged, lunatic post. It’s who you are. You can’t unfuck yourself now.

    Hubba hubba hubba. Family Values baby!

    Girl, 11, gave birth to baby allegedly fathered by brother; he and parents are charged
    The 17-year-old boy told police he had sex with his sister about 100 times but did not know she was pregnant, according to charging documents.

    Read in NBC News: https://apple.news/ACR_6Ca-ORnqfUlEUa98cHw

  22. 22

    I’m a traitor because…

    You posted 4,000+ pro-Putin hashtags here, which is what dumbfuck traitors do, so enough of your fucking whining about being tagged a dumbfuck traitor. You fucking earned it.

  23. 23

    @1 Don’t you realize the GOP became a criminal syndicate after Trump ‘s hostile takeover?

  24. 24

    For those of you turned off by this, there’s always Youtube video of Elizabeth Warren dancing onstage while Julian Cruz claps to the beat.

    President Donald Trump saluted members of the famed “Miracle on Ice” US Olympic hockey team during a Keep America Great rally Friday in a wide-ranging address in which he also attacked Democrats, the media and boasted at length about his former reality TV show.

    “We are thrilled to have with us today 14 players from that gold-medal team. Give them a big hand,” Trump said in Las Vegas, where team members had gathered to celebrate the 40th anniversary of their historic win over Russia on Saturday.

    The president at one point called team captain Mike Eruzione to join him on the stage along with players Jim Craig, Bill Baker, Dave Christian, Ken Morrow, Jack O’Callahan, Mike Ramsey, Mark Wells, assistant coach Craig Patrick and the late coach Herb Brook’s daughter Kelly Brooks.

    Bernie wanted the Soviets to win. Now Putin wants Bernie to win.

  25. 25

    @18 First I’m hearing they endorsed Klobuchar, but won’t be the first time the Republican Times whistled in the wind. She’s what, about 6%, nationally? After Bernie collects 98% of the Democratic primary votes here, there won’t even be that much left over for her.

    They called her “the best choice to advance to the general election in the crucial effort to unseat President Donald Trump,” so it doesn’t look like they’re gonna be very eager to endorse your candidate in the general, dumbfuck.

  26. 26

    @ 25

    Exactly my point. You had your chance, Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit. You went full socialist instead.

    Never go full socialist.

  27. 27

    @ 21

    Those were illegal alien family values, gman.

    The father is a previously deported illegal.

  29. 29

    The real reason ST endorsed Klobuchar:

    “And the daughter of a former newspaperman is an unabashed supporter of the free press, government transparency and the role the U.S. plays as a model for supporting the press around the world. She wants to look at how antitrust laws could help ensure a robust and independent free press providing local news in communities.”

    Yup, still family-owned for now (and anti-union forever, or until Frank B. retires and/or drops dead, whichever occurs first).

  30. 30

    @17 What’s not a fable is Trump’s intention to upend over a century of civil service laws and remake all federal employment into patronage/political appointee positions. Which, of course, is highly illegal. But an unimpeachable president can do anything he wants, laws be demanded, amirite Moscow Mitch?

    Regardless of how far this gets, good people are being driven out of government, and it’s likely to require more than one future presidency to repair the damage this wrecking ball of a demagogue is inflicting on the administration apparatus of our government as he tries to turn it into a Trump Organization subsidiary.

  31. 31

    @ 30

    But an unimpeachable president…

    Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit, Schiff & Co. just got done proving otherwise.

    You’re a fucking clown.

  33. 33

    Roger Dumbfuck’s list of “good people being driven out of government” @ 30 includes Reality Winner.

  34. 34

    @ 32

    YLB, how many of the individuals referred to in your spew permitted their older minor children to repeatedly fuck their younger minor children, cause the latter to become pregnant, and then did nothing until after childbirth in a bathtub, permitting the infant’s core body temperature to drop to 90F when the infant was finally brought in for help?

    I’m just asking, because if the answer is zero then you have further established yourself as a third-tier commenter with a double-digit IQ, girlfriend.

  35. 35

    Speaking of endorsements, I heard Clint Eastwood is bailing on Trump and endorsing Bloomberg, which is no small deal, considering how reactionary Eastwood is.

  36. 36

    25,
    Never Trump Republicans everywhere are dying for Democrats to nominate a Republican so that some other people can unfuck them. They won’t talk to the base of Republican voters who put them in this hole. They won’t talk to the leadership class of the Republican Party who have gone all-in for Treason. They won’t question the deeply flawed and humiliating nomination process they created back in 2016 that was all but guaranteed to give them a president RapeFantasy. And of course, they certainly would not speak plainly or honestly about what they all heard on that Access Hollywood tape in October of 2016.

    It’s always someone else’s responsibility with these people. Because suggesting that Republicans might somehow be responsible for electing a Republican president is unthinkable to them.

  37. 37

    @33 No, my list of good people being driven out of government consists of people you’ve never heard of who do their jobs properly and conscientiously for the benefit of the public, instead of subverting the public interest by fetching water for the crooks and liars you elected.

  40. 40

    38,
    Here’s a “legal” R who wanted to shack up with a minor:

    Oooh! Oooh! Is it the one they nominated to run for US Senate in Alabama?

  41. 41

    38,
    Oh. Different one. I see.
    It’s nice that they have so many to choose from.

  42. 42

    @40 The worst that freak got was a slap on the wrist from a shopping mall..

    Poor “legal” R had to skeez and kreep somewhere else..

    “Legal” Republican family values..

  43. 43

    @ 35

    …Clint Eastwood is bailing on Trump and endorsing Bloomberg…

    When I look into Bloomberg’s eyes, I see a G, an O, and a P.

    Nominate him. I’m fine with it.

  44. 44

    By the way, speaking of drumpfist/republican solutions to the “illegal” problem:

    It sure would have been better if Mexico paid for this:

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/01/30/trumps-border-wall-falls-over-high-winds-california-mexico/4618372002/

    and this:

    https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/11/2/20945336/trump-border-wall-smugglers-saw-us-mexico

    But Mexico didn’t pay for that, did they? Instead it was taken out of facility upgrades for men and women serving their country.

    https://www.masslive.com/opinion/2019/09/border-wall-funding-kids-in-military-families-deserve-better-than-this-commentary.html

    This hurt military familes.. Wow. “Legal” Republican family values…

  45. 45

    When I look into Bloomberg’s eyes, I see a G, an O, and a P.

    Someone who is both rich and crazy enough to buy a political party.. To wrench the country away from a crowd of cronies he doesn’t like. Towards one of his.

    A creature of the global finance industry. Not just Wall Street. That’s his crowd.. He makes all these guys look weak. And that’s the crowd that holds dimfuk in thrall.

    dimfuk would like that. Fuck.that.shit.

  46. 46

    42,
    “Legal” Republican family values.

    Well, at least they would never wear white shoes before Memorial Day, or bot-farm pussy will be all over that shit ;)

  47. 47

    45,
    Nothing wrong with Bloomberg.

    After all, and entirely by bot-farm pussy’s reasoning, if Bloomberg is the “moderate” alternative for Democrats after July then his continued presence in the race would only “ensure” a Democratic victory.

    If all Anyone other than Trump voters have to choose among are one corrupt, rich crazy guy, a slightly different corrupt, rich crazy guy, and the Democratic nominee, then no matter how the media label the nominee, that’s who they vote for.

    And if Bloomberg wants to spend a small fraction of his fortune reminding all of those voters just how crazy Trump is, and just how crazy he is, that actually helps.

  49. 49

    45, 47,
    And never forget that president RapeFantasy is just as much a creature of the global financial industry as Bloomberg. And while RapeFantasy may do a workmanlike performance as a “populist” that performance art routine is focused exclusively on his base. To every other voter and potential voter Trump and Bloomberg appear inseparable in that respect. They are both avaricious globalists with no recognizable loyalties to anything other than money.

    Again, faced with the media contrived choice between these alternatives, nearly all of the “anyone other than Trump” voters will choose the “vaguely frightening lefty” who consistently promises them the policies they all actually like.

  50. 50

    In the early NV caucus results, Bernie went from 43% in the first alignment to 52% in the final alignment. The supporters of non-viable candidates Klobuchar, Steyer, and Warren are streaming to Bernie.

    #WallStreet Pete went from 11.3% to 11.5%. Meaning unhappy gays got nowhere else to go.

    I want your DOR, gman.

  52. 52

    Pete’s more popular (in votes) than Warren and Clubfoot….tells me he’d be a better VP candidate for the ticket….and he loves Bernie.

    Pete’s more popular (in votes) than Warren and Clubfoot….tells me he’d be a better VP candidate for the ticket….and he loves Bernie.

    You’re right, gman. Your guy’s no Joe Lieberman.

  58. 58

    Looking forward to the elites at Civic Skunk Works mansplainin’ to the Sawant-bootlicking crowd that Bernie won because that’s what Putin wanted, ’cause it takes a Russian village.

    You didn’t build that, BernieBros.

  59. 59

    @ 57

    Actually, no.

    And on a night when a guy nearly 80 years old is thumping your pipsqueak 5-to-1, you really shouldn’t be claiming that your pipsqueak is beating up on a couple of girls, gman.

    Right now Bernie’s got 2,635 votes and #WallStreetPete has 572.

    gman, this should be telling you to STFU. HA already has a cheerleader and YLB’s got Fight Song programmed to auto-play repeatedly until the first Wednesday in November.

    Statewide, #WallStreetPete is below the 15% viability level.

  60. 60

    gman, please explain why #WallStreetPete has any reason to hold on until South Carolina’s primary.

    Does he expect a breakthrough with the black vote in SC?

  61. 61

    #WallStreetPete’s support in NV is less than half of what it was in IA and NH.

    That’s what happens when not all of the voters are white.

    @54 Kinda funny to see you calling someone else a “traitor.” You probably have no clue how ironic that is. Of course you don’t.

  65. 65

    Klobuchar’s got, like, one-tenth of Bernie’s support. And Dumbfuck’s candidate? Tulsi has 0.2%. According to my rabbit calculations that’s two or three dozen votes — or maybe just two or three votes, with no “dozen” after the digit. Are you spending the weekend in Vegas with the horse, dumbfuck?

  66. 66

    @62 Gotta catch your flight back to the San Juans? Need early boarding for your emotional support animal? I thought they didn’t allow ponies in the passenger cabin anymore.

  67. 67

    What GOP democracy looks like:

    “The decision to cancel its caucus was made last year to help clear the path to re-election Trump. By canceling its caucus, the party ensures that voters would not have the opportunity to formally put their support behind a different Republican candidate for president.”

    https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/nevada-among-states-canceled-its-republican-caucuses-primaries-n1140481

    I can think of another political party whose leader did things that way, too, a long time ago.

    Or that’s what happens when no black people live in those states

  92. 92

    In Nevada Sanders won every age category except voters over age 65 which he lost to Biden. 22% among self described “moderate” voters*. 45% among self described “independent” voters. Highest percentage of women.

    So now he wears the bullseye and we can watch Tuesday night to see whether or how deftly he deals with the “radical socialist Pinko” labeling. Finally a debate worth watching in so far as it will actually see the candidates testing voter approved economic policies against political rhetoric and bullshit.

    *Good information in that. Helps demonstrate that how voters who arbitrarily label themselves as “moderate” do not align themselves with how the media arbitrarily label the candidates. There are no “socially progressive, fiscally conservative” voters. They just don’t exist in any real sense other than as labels.

  93. 93

    @92 I think the fact that Buttigieg doesn’t use such rhetoric, albeit however PC he speaks, it speaks volumes of him as a true leader that can unite and not divide this whether it be in the realm of partisanship or within the Democratic Party.

    – I approve of dramatic reductions approaching elimination of taxpayer support for all healthcare for seniors, the disabled, children, and the working poor.

    – I approve of dramatic reductions approaching elimination of taxpayer support for all environmental protection including clean air, clean water, and preservation of public lands.

    “The data on 600K tweets shows little difference in the sentiment among tweets of supporters of different candidates.”
    https://twitter.com/CompSocialSci/status/1231435182537936896

    Don’t expect that to change. It’s a competitive primary race. Supporters will take shots at opposing candidates. And that will intensify as the race narrows and more significant numbers of delegates come into play.

    But just because the race intensifies and the rhetoric becomes more heated among supporters does not mean that Democrats should lazily give in to unsupported, bullshit corporate media frames. Feeding disunity is one of the ways media drive viewership. But it is fundamentally dishonest and it does not reflect the data in any way.

    When it comes to Bloomberg or a worker in the construction field, such as a mason, or laborer, I’d say Bloomberg didn’t work hard enough and had it pretty easy. Especially when he was sipping his coffee and demeaning woman. That’s the fallacy of a hard working millionaire.

    But nobody calls the billionaire out for it.

    It’s a canard created mostly by the media in order to frame elections around things other than issues (horse race coverage), which they avoid at all costs. The media claim to avoid covering issues because they claim viewers are not attracted to such coverage. But in fact, they avoid it because issues are polarizing. And for-profit media avoid coverage that confronts viewer biases, because confronting viewer bias is bad for advertising.

    @90 How’s your 1-pony portfolio doing these days? Your stock seems to have peaked and appears to be in a rut now, hasn’t paid a dividend since 1998, and Yahoo Finance rates it as grossly overvalued.

    But I suppose you could always send the wife into town to turn tricks, if necessary, to make your payments on the horse trailer and pickup.

    @91 “Mitch McConnell and Bob packing”

    Each other? Wouldn’t surprise me.

    @92 Hard to say what a “moderate” voter is, at a time when everybody has grievances and is fed up with how things are.

    I think Trumpublicans and their fellow travelers should be careful about casting this election as “a choice between capitalism or socialism.” They might not like the voters’ answer.

    @96 Your “non-profit news source in Nevada”:

    “In September 2012, Ralston left the Las Vegas Sun. In 2014, Ralston appeared as an actor in the Amazon original series Alpha House. His KSNV Ralston Reports TV show ended on December 12, 2014. … As of 2016, he was primarily known in Nevada for his television show, Ralston Live, …. His show was discontinued on June 21, 2016 by KLVX and KNPB. …

    “Reporting on the Nevada Democratic state convention in 2016, Ralston tweeted that supporters of U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders had thrown chairs. … NPR originally repeated Ralston’s reporting as did other media outlets, but removed it after only being able to find evidence of a chair being lifted in the air but not of one being thrown. … Snopes, a website that documents and debunks urban legends and rumors, identified Ralston as the source for the statement that Sanders supporters had thrown chairs and said there was no evidence to support it.”

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Ralston

    Sometime actor, frequently sacked reporter, failed talk show host, and called out by Snopes for false reporting.

    All this might explain why he’s still an obscure self-employed political flack, instead of working in the national media.

    Exactly the sort of “source” Doctor Dumbfuck gloms onto to validate his own non-mainstream, non-famous, not-credible commentaries.

    @102 We don’t have to face President Pence in November, do we? Thank God.*

    * I’m not saying he’s better; I’m only saying that, from the standpoint of practical election strategy, he’s a Trumper without Trump’s baggage.

  119. 119

    @105 Doctor Dumbfuck is a genius. He’s come up with the GOP’s fall campaign theme. They’re going to attack Bernie as “a millionaire with three houses.” This will flip frustrated left-behinds to Trump for sure.

  120. 120

    @109 I’m one of those lazy assholes, but I’m not getting all of their money; either Doctor Dumbfuck is getting some of it, too, or he’s lying to us about his investing prowess. And neither of us is remotely close to getting as much as Bloomberg is.

    @110 Bloomberg attributes his wealth to hard work. This is a fairy tale. Like all businessmen, he extracted it from other people’s work.

    Actor Kirk Douglas, who died last week at age 103, reportedly cut his son, actor Michael Douglas, out of his will and left his entire $60 million estate to charity.

    Trump’s kids, looking to the future, are getting ahead of that problem by monetizing their dad’s public office while the plums are ripe for plucking.

    Of course, that also could be because he won’t have any estate to leave them after paying his Russian creditors, and they know it.

    So by this logic, if I DO vote for Sanders in the Fall but Trump still wins, the second Trump term is NOT on me and Steve will have to find someone else to blame for his sorrows, amirite?

    I will say this again — if Sanders is the nominee in the fall, and you don’t vote for him, the second Trump term is on you, not him and not his supporters and not the Democratic Party.

    22h

    Or are we in Heads I win, Tails you lose territory? ’cause Steve’s pathologic inability to accept responsibility suggests the latter.

  124. 124

    will have to find someone else to blame for his sorrows, amirite?

    No. If you merely vote and don’t resist a fascist movement then you can’t pretend that you aren’t for it, just because you didn’t vote for the fascist.

    That’s why it doesn’t matter whether you voted for The Hump in the past; you could be excused of that mistake, but if you don’t resist the fascist movement….well, then you are the fascist traitor that anyone wants to label you as. Good Luck.

  125. 125

    Or are we in Heads I win, Tails you lose territory?

    Only if you don’t resist a fascist fucking pig, and you sit there and except it.

    Not a hard concept to understand. You don’t have to know how to spell, or to use the correct grammar to understand that…it’s common sense….some of which none have.

    Boy this Broccoli, Sausage calzone is awesome.

    Hey Bob, I suggest you drop the Twitter account. Try Instagram – pretty pictures there that are more uplifting and worthwhile looking at than tweets.

    Everyone wants the President to stop tweeting…..well, what about you (not you Bob but it would be pretty interesting to see what you tweet about)?

    I don’t have twitter. The only good thing about twitter is that some people can get creative in their tweets when replying to someone’s hypocrisy or the irony of someone else’s tweet.

    You know, like when Melania tweets about awareness of bullying.

    Bob you can vote for Sanders, or any other Dem nominee, and yet if The Hump wins, then it doesn’t really matter, unless you continue to believe in this shit from the Party of Scum.

    Oh, and by the way, that isn’t what Buttigieg said….he said, he doesn’t need to be lectured by a fat fuck hypocrite, such as that fat fuck cocksucker Beck.

    I though Beck died a couple of years ago….the fake fuck Christian coming back from the dead?

  131. 131

    Or are we in Heads I win, Tails you lose territory?

    No. We are in Heads you stump tirelessly for Trump, Tails you stump tirelessly for Trump territory. Precisely the same territory we’ve been in since July of 2016. Nothing changes if you don’t change. We can’t unfuck you. And at this point, honestly, even you must realize that you lack the strength of character to unfuck yourself.

    Own it pussy.

    Michael Douglas really has no need of any such inheritance and probably encouraged his father to leave his money to charity.

    I feel sorry for Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit’s heirs.

    I don’t feel sorry for YLB’s kids. YLB voted, repeatedly for them to be locked in stowage on The Titanic.

  135. 135

    YLB raised her kids to be freeloaders like her. Of COURSE they are Bernie supporters.

    In fewer than five years they will begin paying my Social Security.

    I can wait.

    @133 Steerage, idiot. Stowage is for cargo. That’s where your lover rides with the dogs, cows, and other horses.

    You could try living on your Varian dividends while waiting. That might turn you into a Democrat.

    More than a third of charter schools launched with federal assistance between 2006 and 2014 never opened for a single day of instruction.

    $45 million in federal tax dollars that could have gone toward public school teacher training, and curriculum development was instead handed to influential GOP donors to spend on pool cleaning, expense account travel, and resort retreats for executives.

    ” … [I]n the United States, experts worry that the public health infrastructure is unprepared for a pandemic. The Trump administration has left a leadership vacuum at the Centers for Disease Control and stalled a biodefense strategy that would prepare the United States for epidemics.

    The careerists were overruled and you’re a dumbfuck who shoots from the lip without checking sources. You could’ve linked the WaPo article from the Mother Jones article if you weren’t in such a damn hurry to shoot your own dick off.

    ” … there continue to be troubling signs that the Trump administration has been mismanaging the U.S. response and may not be adequately prepared for whatever happens next. …

    ” … the administration has spent years enacting policies and putting forth budgets that have weakened the U.S. government’s ability to prepare for and respond to an outbreak like this one. In addition, … the administration’s notoriously dysfunctional personnel drama and haphazard efforts to reduce the size of the government have had an severe impact …”

    ” … Trump ordered the NSC’s entire global health security unit shut down …. The global health section of the CDC was so drastically cut in 2018 that much of its staff was laid off …. And though Congress has so far managed to block Trump administration plans to cut the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps by 40 percent, the disease-fighting cadres have steadily eroded as retiring officers go unreplaced. …

    ” … Trump’s deputies … fear the president could create false hopes of a quick solution to the crisis … []by] suggesting that spring temperatures would take care of the problem naturally.
