My phone is almost out of juice and I can’t find my charger. So short post from me, so I can close the WordPress app on my phone.

    Kind of slow today. Almost one hour and twenty minutes and this is the first comment.

  2. 2

    @1 Started out as a slow news day, but no longer. Trump is having a terrible day. The ex-US ambassador to Ukraine defied him and testified before a congressional committee and a federal appeals court rejected his appeal of a House subpoena for his financial records.

  3. 3

    “I know I work for you but I’m not going to prison for you.” Is a phrase Donald’s going to hear a lot over the coming months.

    Ambassador Gordon Sondland agrees to appear at impeachment inquiry under subpoena

    What ex-ambassador Yovanovitch told Congress:

    “I do not know Mr. Giuliani’s motives for attacking me. But individuals who have been named in the press as contacts of Mr. Giuliani may well have believed that their personal financial ambitions were stymied by our anti-corruption policy in Ukraine.”

    Roger Rabbit Commentary: This isn’t just the smell of money; it’s the rancid dead-body smell of corrupt money. Featuring Giuliani’s portrait and Trump’s thumbprint.

    @3 Why should he? Sondland is independently wealthy. He doesn’t need Trump signing paychecks for him.

    That’s also true of his cabinet of billionaires. In the end, they won’t need him. They’re happy to have the power to push their rightwing agendas. Once the power is gone, there’s no reason for them to stay. Or keep their mouths shut.

    Well over on Fox News…

    Oh, Rudy.

    CNN reported it first and ABC is now saying they have independent confirmation that Giuliani is the subject of the criminal investigation that has already resulted in the arrest of two of his associates.

    Rudy who?

    Looks like Rudy will get to experience what life is like under the bus before he gets to experience what life is like in a federal penitentiary.

    “President Trump is just asked and talking to reporters on the south lawn of the White House as he gets ready to board Marine One — and asked by Pamela Brown whether or not Rudy Giuliani is still his lawyer,” Blitzer said announcing the video.

    “Well, I don’t know,” Trump said. “I haven’t spoken to Rudy. I spoke to him yesterday briefly. He’s a very good attorney and he has been my attorney, yeah, sure.”

    But I have to admit, it’s all my fault. Hillary was so…awful.

    I must think on my sins.

    Demorat Pornstar Party Of Hate America & Brilliant Hoaxes News – Honest Joe Biden-Einstein Thanks Demorats For Fartblower Hoax, Promises Large Donation. Biden-Einstein explained, “I had no idea that Hunter was holding out on me, he told me that he only made a couple thousand on that China deal. Thanks to your Fartblower hoax I now know that the little bastard ripped me off; I’ll get my cut and split it with you.”
    —————–
    Hunter Biden’s Chinese investment firm assisted China’s acquisition of “strategically sensitive assets” in the United States, according to a New York Post op-ed by the Government Accountability Institute’s Peter Schweizer and Jacob McLeod.
    In 2013, less than two weeks after accompanying his father on an official visit to Beijing–and despite his lack of pertinent expertise–Hunter Biden secured $1 billion (later raised to $1.5 billion) from the state-owned Bank of China for his newly formed investment firm, Bohai Harvest RST (BHR). This was in addition to the first-of-its-kind deal the Chinese government awarded Biden’s private equity firm Rosemont Seneca in the recently formed Shanghai Free-Trade Zone, a deal that allowed the firm to focus on international acquisitions.
    “With the backing of the state-owned Bank of China, one of the country’s ‘big four’ financial institutions, BHR had access to the types of deals that most Western firms only dreamed of, including IPOs of state-owned companies,” Schweizer and McLeod write, noting that Biden’s firm “invested in strategically sensitive assets in both China and the United States.”

    Bob must have resigned too… let’s hope so…everyone else is too. Maybe he’ll start to post here making comments against the Hump

    @17 Resigned from what? Posting on HA is a pastime, not a profession. But in his case, if he’s a paid troll, he’s not very good at it and his employer isn’t getting its money’s worth.

    Another Trump revolving-door cabinet secretary (acting in this case) quit. McAleenan at DHS is out, apparently voluntarily. Good riddance.

    15,
    So now you people are demanding to apply a standard of conduct retroactively to a past Vice President’s family that you absolutely, positively refuse to apply to the current President himself? Much less his family?

    And you are currently actively engaged in arguing in federal courts that it would be unconstitutional for Congress to even inquire about the conduct?

    What the fucking hell is wrong with you stupid motherfuckers?

    Nobody who is not a Republiclown is capable of being stupid enough to believe any of your stupid shit anymore.

    During the same time slot, MSNBC was talking about the testimony of Ousted ambassador Marie Yovanovitch.
    And on Fox News, they spent 10 minutes talking about China investigating Biden corruption…woops, did we say Joe Biden? we meant Biden’s son.

    @ 8, 11

    …that Giuliani is the subject of the criminal investigation…

    Yawn. Remember when Hillary was the subject of a security review criminal investigation?

    Machts nichts.
