Speaking of nonsense, I’m listening to a live feed of Senate Democrats trying to manufacture evidence against Trump as they interview AG Barr. Barr to Feinstein: “That’s not a crime.”.
So far no Dem as silly as Booker or Harris behaved when they went after Kavanaugh.
Cornyn asked Barr whether the Obama administration held a defensive meeting with the Trump campaign that Russia was attempting to gain access, based upon its early investigations. Nope – Team Trump was told nothing of Russian efforts to hack/influence it. Nothing.

LOL, GOP doesn’t read.
It’s been 13 days since the Redacted Mueller report release which is about 350 pages long. At 20 pages a day anyone would be finished reading it by yesterday.
But just this morning when asked..
@1
Barr seems to have trouble distinguishing what is and isn’t a crime.
Nice try Dumbfuck.
@ 4
If only Barr had your in-depth legal knowledge, Cz-252.
@ 3
None of the Senators have read the whole thing. Virtually no Senator reads whole bills before voting on them. Virtually no president reads whole bills before signing them into law. This is what staff is for. It’s a big country and there’s a lot going on.
You’re a third-tier clown, Cz-252. Ever wonder whether Obama read every page of the Affordable Care Act before he signed it into law? Of course you didn’t.
Third-tier. Right down there with YLB and the Fucking Moron.
@5
Is that pail getting heavy?
Congress -“No money for Contras, bill passed, signed onto law”
Administration-“Were going to funnel Secret money to Contras.”
Bob Barr -“Well that’s not REALLY a crime.
Lindsey, “Whadabout….
I’m a busy man. You can’t Really expect me to carve out four hours out of two weekends to read this thing I’m super angry cost the taxpayers millions and is arguably the single most talked about document in America. It’s all just too much.”
So let me get this straight. We start with ground rules dictating that the president can’t be indicted nor can the special counsel’s report say he committed a crime. So Mueller, after finding Trump committed about a dozen acts of obstruction, doesn’t charge him and doesn’t say he committed a crime, but implies he did. Herr Barr then proclaims this to be a “verdict” of no obstruction. This is logic Goebbels would be proud of.
@1 “Team Trump was told nothing of Russian efforts to hack/influence it.”
Russia: “We’ve got Hillary’s emails.”
Donny Jr: “Lemme have ’em!”
You’re fucking laughable, godwin.
@ 6
… is arguably the single most talked about document in America.
Gee. I thought it was the thing with that page with that word that means Trump can’t make money when someone stays overnight in his hotel.
@2 Goldy forgot to mention that Matt Shea also hangs out with terrorists, e.g. Ammon Bundy and the late LaVoy Finicum, the guy who tried to bullrush state troopers with a gun in his hand after trying to run down FBI agents with a car.
The situation is a bit nuanced, though. Shea doesn’t actually participate in his friends’ acts of terrorism, he only uses them as props to appeal to the kind of voters you find in the dilapidated mobile home communities between Spokane and the Canadian border; and he’s careful not to say what he thinks. In other words, unlike the Bundys, he stays ever-so-slightly on this side of the law — he goes right up to it, but is careful not to say or do anything prosecutable.
If I were Ammon Bundy, I wouldn’t want him in my foxhole. He’s the kind who will abandon you in a firefight.
@3 Why on earth does Lindsey Graham need to read even one page of the Mueller report? He knows whose side he’s on, come hell or high water, and so do we. Whatever respectability this man ever had, if any, is long gone; scattered to the four winds. At this point, Graham has so little credibility left that he has nothing to lose by continuing to be the complete and total suckup he’s become. Like Doctor Dumbfuck.
@5 A gnat would make a better attorney general than Barr, but Barr’s legal knowledge is still superior to yours.
Just making sure you know where you are on the pecking order.
@9 “… is arguably the single most talked about document in America.”
Only if you don’t count the internet porn that Trumpublicans gaze at for 12 hours a day as “documents.”
@9 “Gee. I thought it was the thing with that page with that word that means Trump can’t make money when someone stays overnight in his hotel.”
Yes, there could be Emoluments Clause complications with a sitting president collecting room fees from foreign potentates, diplomats, and lobbyists seeking access and influence. It would be more obvious if, say, the guests dropped $100,000 tips on the housekeepers, and the housekeepers had to turn over the tips to management, but it’s basically the same thing. At least, close enough that a federal judge this week refused to throw out the Democrats’ lawsuit about it. Of course, you can always feel free to argue that you know more about the law than a federal judge, dumbfuck.
I have a theory about why all our trolls are always, without exception, such stupid fuckers: You can’t be intelligent and conservative at the same time. This is the E=mc2 of HA trolldom. It explains the observed phenomenon, confirmed by countless data points, that HA has never had a troll with a 2-digit IQ and predict,s in irrefutable fashion, that we never will have one. Sadly, an IQ of 9.9999 is to our trolls is what the speed of light is to physics: It’s an absolute limit that can never be exceeded. Sigh. It is what it is.

“Allegations that workers were routinely shortchanged on their pay at President Trump’s suburban country club are now the subject of an inquiry by the New York attorney general, whose investigators have interviewed more than two dozen former employees.”
Little snippets from the story. It was widely known among the “illegal imigrant” community that Westchester Golf Club would hire without asking for papers or at the very least not seeking to verify false papers.
“One former manager from the Westchester club, who said he thought the undocumented workers at the club were exploited, described an environment where — in managers’ meetings — it was clear that supervisors not only knew these workers lacked authentic documents but used that information to meet the company’s cost-cutting goals.”
““You want to be here? Don’t clock in for overtime,” the former manager said, paraphrasing the message to these workers. “Clock out, and work off the clock.”
EdsNote, well we just went from, “How were we to know they were undocumented, they had fake papers. Really good fake papers” to not only knowing the workers were undocumented but using that knowledge to violate labor laws.
2020, “We need to build a wall, they’re taking your jobs!”
“Mr. Trump, how come the HR staff and managers at your Golf Resorts are being charged with knowingly hiring undocumented workers. Is it a problem with the workers coming here or that certain companies are more than willing to look the other way in order to keep labor costs down?
It would be a shame to take Donald’s signature issue off the table.

Unable to walk back the humiliation of their victimhood they have no choice but to go full Stockholm and deny a growing mountain of objective, documented facts demonstrating their foolishness.
They were warned. Still they persisted.
@17 I watched it on NBC for a while, then finally turned it off, because the Republicans were more nauseating than I could take. Corey Booker said it all when he asked Barr. “Is the contents of the Mueller report something the American people should be grateful for?” And Barr essentially responded with something like, “Well, hostile foreign powers tried to contact Hillary’s campaign, too.”
Of course, everyone understands these hearings are a show, the audience is voters, and the GOP’s mission is to deny, deflect, distract, and confuse that audience — what in the military is known as a smokescreen, and what we called “squid ink” on HA when Puddy was still alive.
Squid ink is what Barr and the GOP senators are all about. These should be called the “squid ink” hearings.
Wtf were these judges thinking?

After reading the transcript of Barr’s testimony today I’m fairly certain the Attorney General hasn’t read the report yet either.
I’m not joking.
Either that or the man is undergoing early onset.
His responses to questions about specific details in the report and his conclusions about those details indicated that he was not familiar with the specific details. I can give more than a few examples. But what would be the point?
It’s now very, very clear why Mueller saw the need to draft and send a letter to the AG objecting to the AG’s summary and characterizing that summary as inaccurate and misleading. It’s also very clear why the AG sought to conceal the existence of that letter and then lied about it under oath. Make no mistake, those two events are historically and legally crucial.
Either these people are lying carelessly or they have significant cognitive impairment. Whichever the case may be it doesn’t really matter. Nothing they say can or should be relied upon by any responsible adult. Nothing they report about the investigations can be trusted. And that means the investigations themselves cannot be trusted. Nor should they be.
The Speaker has an obligation to review the AG’s testimony and make a decision based on that to go forward immediately with independent investigations by the House committees. Not only should those investigations be considering the question of impeachment of the President, they should also be considering the question of impeachment of the Attorney General.
“Republicans say Democrats gunning for President Donald Trump’s tax returns using a federal disclosure law could set a terrible new standard. If Democrats get their way, ‘nothing could stop a committee chairman from obtaining the tax returns of any politically disfavored individual,’ Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin wrote in a letter to House Ways and Means Committee chair Richard Neal (D-Mass.) last week. …
“In 2014, House Republicans obtained and disclosed private tax information as part of a campaign against an Internal Revenue Service official they claimed had unfairly singled out conservative groups for audits. And in 2006, Republicans on the Senate Finance Committee asked the IRS for all kinds of tax information about the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, a group that registered voters and advocated for poor people.”

Republicans are still funding Jacob Wohl.
I mean, it’s not like this latest episode is “so out of character” or something. This douche nozzle has been frauding the fuck out of it for many, many years. He’s not just supremely ethically corrupt, and dishonest, but he’s stunningly incompetent at it. Every single one of his scams can be seen coming from a fucking light year away – in real time, thus defying causality itself. And yet every single Republican you know wherever they might happen to be still drops every thing and pays careful close attention to whatever idiotic bullshit they find in his dad’s* latest scandal-Tweet.
Throughout the wingnut mediascape of bullshittery they maintain an unlimited capacity to set aside any skepticism whenever it suits them, no matter what. This shit stain started out stealing the retirement savings of little old ladies. They were cool with it. Graduated to all these more recent cat-fishing escapades. This is like his third or fourth big one he’s fucked up. No prob. And for his latest segue he’s trying to raise funding for yet another investment scam. Still he gets his calls returned! The only thing that has kept him out of prison so far is his own breathtaking inability to follow through on pretty much anything. And yet he can still get booked on FOX.
*Because Jacob Wohl is so obviously lying that even @jack is unwilling to look the other way.
Of course he did.

Chicago’s new mayor understands that over the last half-century or so an alderman has been convicted of corruption about once every 18 months.
She vows to do something about it before that rate grows to one per year.
There’s still a slim thread of hope for Trump, though. Hitler clung to power with a 33% approval rating, same as Trump’s, but had to kill and imprison a lot of people to do it. I wouldn’t put that past Trump if Russian interference fails him. Trump is a man devoid of morality or civilized restraint.

Roger Rabbit Commentary: Another example of why Republican ideas about the economy are sheer nonsense. Capitalism works, and is the best economic system yet devised, but only when it has traffic laws and traffic cops.
No one would ever seriously argue that traffic should be completely unregulated, yet that’s the economic argument that Republicans and Libertarians make. I have news for them, there aren’t two different human natures for economic behavior and driving behavior. If you give people license, they’re going to take it.
Regulating capitalism enables all of us to thrive according to our abilities. Unregulated capitalism is anarchy, and has the same consequences for the economy as turning our streets over to the rule of street gangs. Without business regulation, you’re going to get companies like Theranos and uBiome.

In a July 2011 post on the website Red Country, West wrote, “I must confess, when I see anyone with an Obama 2012 bumper sticker, I recognize them as a threat to the gene pool.”
And yet you think it was racism that democrats didn’t vote for him in the general election. They rejected him because of his ideas.
In some of the red-voting jackrabbit counties, where snakes outnumber humans, the whole fucking local government consisting of a mayor, a 3-person city council (two of whom are the mayor and his wife) and 1 cop, are corrupt.

Back @2, a very unhinged Doctor Dumbfuck accused me of being a “domestic terrorist who openly advocates for the mass murder of his opponents,” which is ridiculous, because I’ve never threatened anyone and all I’ve ever said is “liberals must arm” in response to members of Doctor Dumbfuck’s tribe openly talking about “civil war,” “executing” liberals, and putting liberals in “concentration camps.” I’m a peaceful rabbit by inclination, and I’m only talking about defending ourselves against people who are threatening us and arming like crazy.
Well, it seems they can’t constrain themselves to just threatening liberals. Here’s another one of Doctor Dumbfuck’s tribe going off the really deep end like lemmings over a cliff:
“A nationwide arrest warrant has been issued for a onetime candidate for Stevens County sheriff who allegedly tried to extort members of his right-wing militia group through anonymous written threats backed by insinuations they came from a Mexican drug cartel. James ‘Russell’ Bolton, 51, also is accused of pushing an associate down a flight of stairs and trying to suffocate him with a plastic bag in Spokane, according to records filed last month in Stevens County Superior Court.”

Now I’m not saying Doctor Dumbfuck does that stuff, I’m only saying his tribe does that stuff and you gotta be a real dumbfuck to give your allegiance to that tribe.
I’ve never called Doctor Dumbfuck a domestic terrorist, and I’m not calling him one now. He’s too stupid to be a terrorist. I’m only insinuating that he likes people like Matt Shea and this guy. That isn’t being a terrorist, it’s being a dumbfuck.

Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., brought a bucket of KFC fried chicken and a ceramic chicken to the hearing. And to drive that point home, Cohen made a point of eating the chicken during the hearing, before placing the bucket on the table in front of where Barr would have been sitting.
“Chicken Barr should have shown up today and answered questions,” Cohen told reporters after the hearing. #ChickenBarr started trending on Twitter after the hearing, and over 1,000 users had retweeted Cohen’s remarks about it.

@86 well I’ll join you and he can call me what ever the fuck he wants seeing that he has no words for his ilk, who have armed!
LIBERALS MUST ARM!
Let us now recap Congressman Duncan Hunter’s great acheivements for the voters of California’s 50th CD.
Having fallen behind his sales quotas in every single quarter during his very brief career in private sector sales, Mr. Hunter sought refuge in the USMC, completing his OCS tour in Quant a year later and taking a commission as a 2nd Lt. cannon cocker. Safely stowed in the rear he developed a crippling nicotine habit that would later follow him to Congress. He pulled the rip cord after three years active and converted to reserve status so that he could return to San Diego and resume the party life of a well connected Republican Congressman’s son.
Soon he inherited his father’s donor rolodex and def industry PACs, and with it his House seat. This is where the party really starts! Over ten years in the House in a once “safe” Republican seat, the “Honorable” Mr. Hunter is now known to have diverted in excess of $1 million in campaign funds for personal expenses and close to a quarter of a million dollars in taxpayer “office expenses” for personal use. Ski trips with the family, fishing trips in the Bahamas with prostitutes and piles of powder, shopping sprees at the mall, and hundreds of charter air flights, luxury resort bookings, and magnums of Dom.
Today Mr. Hunter stands indicted on more than 60 counts of wire fraud, financial fraud, and conspiracy to defraud. His father and his father’s wealthy defense contractor pals have raised tens of millions to prepare his criminal defense and help him pay back the huge sums he stole. All this while Mr. Hunter was allowed by his Trumpublican colleagues to sit on committees considering defense and armed services contracts held by these same contractors. The DOJ, at the direction of AG Sessions, even concealed Mr. Hunters criminal indictment long enough for him to cast key votes.
But the cherry on top is that part of Mr. Hunter’s criminal defense against the charges that he conspired to commit financial fraud to pay for cocaine weekends in the tropics with hookers, is that it is all his wife’s fault. “She always handles the checkbook”.
Noyce!
And yes, he still serves today. Because this really is “the status quo” for Republicans now. #veryfinepeople
@90 When you’re a complete fucking loser who can’t hold a civilian job or cut it in R. Lee Ermy’s beloved Marine Corps, and no other career path is open, you become a Republican congressman.
Then you climb over a highway guardrail to demonstrate how easy it is to jump the border and justify spending billions on a wall.
There’s probably well-connected donor/contractors in there somewhere, too.

Liberals here mock the corrupt congressman.
Conservatives here cannot defend the corrupt congressman, so then makes personal attacks against the liberals here.
Conservatives are hypocrites, at best.
Trump’s 0-for-4 Streak on Fed Choices Raises Concern on Vetting
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-05-02/trump-fed-vetting
All the best people. Maybe a liberal should make a powerpoint pitch explaining what vetting is and send it to them.
Conservatives, ask yourself, what would you have done, if that had been Obama.
But I think, it’s like Rabbit said. this effects money and the REAL powers that be, won’t let some loser mess up their wealth
California Senate passes bill that would keep Trump off 2020 ballot unless he releases tax returns

Conservatives, Remember “States Rights!”
If Trump had nothing to hide he’d release his taxes. .

I can see why he’d lash out. He has a pattern of denigrating people who are:
– non white
– female
– presidential candidates
– smarter than him
– qualified
Nothing scarier to a Republican than an educated black woman with power.
Conservatives, this is your guy, your standard bearer, the one you cover for. Why do you abandon your values for him?
Remember the Deepwater Horizon disaster that polluted vast swaths of the Gulf of Mexico and cost tens of billions of dollars? An accident caused by negligence and lax safety enforcement? Trump’s solution to offshore drilling hazards is deregulation.

Yet some voters with the brains of eggplants, e.g. Doctor Dumbfuck, entrust this guy with the nuclear football. Hey, if you have a death wish, feel free to jump off a bridge, but please don’t take the rest of us or the planet with you!
@92 Weak. Like your coffee. If you can’t do any better than this awake, for god’s sake don’t post when you’re still asleep.
@94 It’s very simple: The GOP senators don’t trust Trump with the economy. But they let him appoint judges because even a rapist will do if he’s against abortion.
@95 He’s probably not counting on California’s electoral votes anyway.
Let’s be clear: The job of everyone who works for this administration is to protect the administration; not America, not the American people, not the taxpayers, not you. Least of all the taxpayers. At least that’s what they think they’re expected to do.

101 – Yes, that’s exactly what any bureaucratic entity does. Thanks, Captain Obvious!
93,
Considering he spends his days combing through the archives of failing fascist media for new ways of removing barbecue sauce stains from the soiled undies of corrupt, child molesters, if anything his personal atacks are a seal of approval from the universe.
His debasement is now complete. He began pretending to have only offered lukewarm support for prezidunt fingerfuck, and only out of the exigency of BENGHAAAZIII/ButteryMales. Now he’s all-in, signing on to the full meal plan of crazed, sov-cit paranoia, alternate universe of PizzaDungeon facts and events, and “admiralty court” legal quackery demanded by Cheeto Benito.
He’s pure entertainment at this point. Our very own Ken M.
@103. Don’t even try the “It’s what Everyone does” fallacy.
