Matt Shea is a real piece of shit. We all knew that, of course. We have read the reporting in The Guardian and listened to Bundyville. As well as other local reporting. Still and all, it’s good that the state’s independent investigation confirmed it.

It’s finally impeachment day. Please if you haven’t already, call or write your member of Congress. The more they hear from you the better.
Also, thanks to everyone who has written. Thank you so, so much to who attended a rally yesterday; Being around you all Downtown and seeing pictures from all over the country lifted my spirit in ways I didn’t know I needed.

The Seattle impeachment rally is tomorrow. 5:00 at the Federal Building. The address and directions are at the link. If you can’t make it to Seattle, you can find one in your town.

OPEN THREAD
I am glad that the House of Representatives is going to impeach President Trump. There are so many impeachable crimes that he has committed, boiling it down to just a couple articles. It leaves a lot off the table. Still. Thanks to all of the people voting for it.
Open Thread December 11
Hey, now would be an excellent time to call your member of Congress and ask them to impeachment President Trump. If you are represented by a Republican, let them know. If you are represented by a Trumpy Republican, let them know.

Open Thread Monday
Somewhat inexplicable to me, some far left critics of Pete Buttigieg have decided that he was working for the CIA. And while he is not my candidate by a long shot, I kind of have to defend him.
There are 2 parts to this. First he worked for a consulting firm that had an NDA. I don’t know enough about the specific firm, but in general NDA’s are bad, but they’re the company, not the employee, who impose them.
The second thing is that he went to Somalia once: A thing that we only know about because he literally wrote about it in the New York Times. Now, I am also not an expert on CIA procedures but it strikes me that this is probably not how they operate:
1) Send a couple people into a country for one (1) day.
2) Meet with officials publicly.
3) Go to the marketplace.
4) Unspecified crimes.
5) Go check out ancient caves.
6) Write about it in an article that’s very critical of US foreign policy including quoting people calling it corrupt.
7) Run for President the first election it’s Constitutionally possible.
Seems like he would keep a lower profile.
But the serious thing I want to say is this: If you see someone promoting this nonsense uncritically, they are a bad source of information; Not just on this specific thing, but going forward.

Are you signed up for Obamacare? If you need it, you can sign up by the 15th. I know that health care is still not as good as much of the world, but get signed up.
Open Thread Wednesday.
I had not picked a Presidential candidate, but Harris was in my top tier. And she was my first top tier candidate to drop out. I was surprised by how much it stinks that she’s out. She has been an amazing Senator, and it will be good to see her back there full time.
