You guys. Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler wants to investigate the Ukraine phone call in the open, but also it’s a distraction, so she opposes the actual investigation. Imagine! If she has an alternate plan for how the inquiry can be conducted beyond vague generalities, it wasn’t in the article, and I couldn’t find it.

We find the Respondents—the Honorable Andrew Adams, Judge of the
Clark Circuit Court 1, the Honorable Bradley B. Jacobs, Judge of the Clark
Circuit Court 2, and the Honorable Sabrina R. Bell, Judge of the Crawford
Circuit Court—engaged in judicial misconduct by appearing in public in
an intoxicated state and behaving in an injudicious manner and by
becoming involved in a verbal altercation. We also find that Judge Adams
and Judge Jacobs engaged in judicial misconduct by becoming involved in
a physical altercation for which Judge Adams was criminally charged and
convicted. Respondents’ actions were not merely embarrassing on a
personal level; they discredited the entire Indiana judiciary.

This reminds me. Alcee Hastings was impeached and removed from his position as a judge. He then successfully ran for Congress.
Upon admission to the hospital, Judge Adams’s serum blood alcohol
level was 0.213 (or approximately 0.157 using whole blood) and Judge Jacobs’s serum blood alcohol level was 0.177 (or approximately 0.13 using
whole blood). Judge Bell’s blood alcohol level was not tested, but she was
intoxicated enough that she lacks any memory of the incident.

Trump flips New York-based appeals court as Steven Menashi confirmed
The 2nd Circuit is the second federal appeals court Trump has remade to have a majority of judges appointed by GOP presidents. In March, the president flipped the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals with the confirmation of Paul Matey.
Trump is also close to shifting the balance of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to majority Republican-appointed judges, with the Senate expected to vote on the nominations of Robert Luck and Barbara Lagoa in the coming days. He has also brought the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, considered to be the country’s most liberal, closer to parity.

QoS McHillbilly, your mention of Brock Turner has left me with a question:
Is it worse to fuck a woman who is too incapacitated to object, as did Brock Turner?
Or is it worse to fuck a woman who is fighting to prevent it from happening, as did Bill Clinton?
Several friends of Broaddrick’s backed up the story. Norma Rogers, who was director of nursing at Broaddrick’s nursing home at the time, told reporters that she entered the hotel room shortly after the assault allegedly took place, and “found Mrs. Broaddrick crying and in ‘a state of shock.’ Her upper lip was puffed out and blue, and appeared to have been hit.” Kelsey elaborated to the New York Times, “She told me he forced himself on her, forced her to have intercourse.”
In the Dateline show, Broaddrick’s friends Louise Ma, Susan Lewis, and Jean Darden (Norma Rogers’s sister) all told NBC News that Broaddrick told them Bill Clinton raped her at the time. David Broaddrick — with whom Broaddrick was having an affair at the time; they both eventually left their spouses to marry each other — also told NBC that Broaddrick’s top lip was black after the alleged incident, and that she told him, “that she had been raped by Bill Clinton.”

Elijah Dominic McDotcom spews:
65,
In the end, knowing that Senate Republicans will back the criminal enterprise in exactly the way we see Teh Dumbfuck doing it here, we have to admit that this process is more about optics and impressions.
But we mustn’t discount it for that reason. Most voter persuasion, whether it is turnout or outreach, depends mostly on leveraging optics and impressions into action/decision. What lasting impressions emerge from this process will be far more decisive, than any legal standards of conduct.
In that sense, emphasizing the sleaziness of Giuliani’s operation, the smear campaign directed at decent public servants like Vindman and Yovanovich, and the essential underlying corruption of the purpose of the operation is crucial. Schiff pointing out Trump smear-Tweeting in real time is effective. But he needs to focus more on the utter sleaziness and weakness that it conveys. That’s what people will respond to. Labeling it “witness tampering” is okay as a way of opening the attack. But he and House Dems need to focus on the fundamental and pathologically weak and petty nature of a President “punching down” at career public servants doing their duty. That’s something voters can relate to in a personal and visceral way.
Trump offers a huge opportunity in this regard. He won’t be silenced. And he will not refrain from this behavior throughout this process. Schiff, Pelosi, and every influential House Dem must be prepared to jump on every single such opportunity to portray Trump and the GOP for who they are in this disgraceful episode. Trump will be Trump. And Republicans will be Republicans. In the last three years there has never been a better chance for Democrats to use that.

It’s pretty fucking obvious the dude never spent much time doing cross or even in court at all.

I don’t see him creating many clickable moments or soundbites for mass redistribution. And he continues to ask witnesses questions that he ought to know will be answered unfavorably.
But on the other side, too much of the House Dems approach is focusing on either the way Giuliani/Sondland were carrying out Trump’s orders, or worse, a narrow legal frame. They are missing too many opportunities to create clickable/shareable moments and soundbites. And they are in my opinion being far too respectful of the Republicans and president Russian SlutPuppet in how they are conducting the hearing. People lose respect for people they see being disrespected. This is no time for fairness. Too much is at stake.

You realize you’re trying to convince Seattlites who rewarded Bret Boone with a five-year rim job when he started hitting for power, and turned a blind eye to the fact that humans don’t look like that unless they are chemically modified.
McGwire took far less to play for the Cards so he could be close to his son, compared to what he could have been paid in a bigger market. I choose to remember him that way.

Obama’s own State Dept. was so concerned about conflicts of interest from Hunter Biden’s role at Burisma that they raised it themselves while prepping the Ambassador for her confirmation. Yet our Democratic colleagues & Adam Schiff cry foul when we dare ask that same question.

Next week we get. “Ambassador Sondland, were you on a call when Donald specifically asked if President Zelensky had agreed to make a statement in the press that a formal investigation was under way of Hunter Biden.”
“yes”
“Were you aware that such an investigation was a sticking point in releasing the Congressionally approved aid to Ukriane?”
“Yes”
“Oh by the way Ambassador, were you aware of customary security practices regarding cell phone usage by diplomatic staff while overseas?”
“Yes”
“Ambassador Sondland did you take this phone call in a public restaurant where the President inquired if President Zelensky would announce the investigation?”
“Yes”
“Is that following security protocol?”
“No”
“Can you speculate why it was so important to President Trump to have the information regarding President Zelensky’s public statement against the Bidens that you ignored security protocol and dialed the White house from your cell phone?”
“The President is the kind of man who wants to hear news immediately.”

What I do, Doctor, is I try to get you to understand that you’re a dumbfuck for thinking that the DJIA failing to perform as well under your stupid fucking orange moron as it did under either of the last two Democrat presidents is something worth your coming here to crow about. But you’re a dumbfuck, so it never sinks in.
Yeah, Doctor, your orange moron is a fucking DJIA failure. But there’s only 21,996 more for the DJIA to go and you’ll be able to proclaim that your stupid fucking orange moron has finally and at long last matched the commie Muslim usurping bastard from Kenya. And if your orange moron manages to pull that off, maybe, just maybe, then he can try to catch up with Bill Clinton.
What a dumbfuck.

Roger Rabbit spews:
Here we have Doctor Dumbfuck speculating that Mueller is guilty, just as Trump speculated the Central Park Five were guilty (even though they weren’t), but you’ll never see Doctor Dumbfuck acknowledge that Trump might be guilty, because he’s (choose one) a (a) dumbfuck, or (b) Putin stooge.
