The most criminal White House gang since Nixon

And the most revolting president in living memory.

A devoted and devout Trumpist in six hours of testimony says they were all in on it, Trump, Pence, Pompeo, Giuliani, Mulvaney, and numerous others.

Gordon Sondland Directly Implicates Trump, Top Aides In Ukraine Shakedown

And the Republican Party is still committed to responding by screaming nothing but the most utter horseshit.

Baseless accusations, tawdry conspiracy theories, projections, absurd and irrelevant demands, character assassination, vicious denigration, and evil screams.

Sort of a Kavanaugh defense.

The entire party is a national disgrace.

Fucking banana republic, eh?

PS.

This is the Republican White House, today.

Trump clears the path for Likud and Greater Israel

Pompeo announces reversal of longstanding US policy on Israeli settlements

From the egregiously unstable moron in the White House.

Repugnant, repulsive, disgraceful filth, that man in the White House.

He is scum, a thug, a tool of Putin, a traitor to his country, and he belongs in jail.

He will never see the inside of a cell, but he belongs in prison for the rest of his sorry life.

He makes me much more ashamed of America than even Reagan or Nixon.

I would like to be able to vomit him up and out of the White House.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Monday announced a major reversal of the US' longstanding policy on Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, rejecting a 1978 State Department legal opinion that deemed the settlements "inconsistent with international law."

The announcement, which breaks with international law and consensus, is the latest in a string of hardline, pro-Israeli moves that are likely to inflame tensions between the Trump administration and Palestinians and widen the divide between the Trump administration and traditional US allies in Europe.

The Nigger of the Narcissus

From the very beginning you wonder what the heck Conrad is doing or saying about race.

Finally, in Chapter 4, Jimmy Wait and Donkin are there to make more or less Nietzschean political points which do not as such reflect well on Conrad's contemporary acceptability, though it might be too harsh, reading him quite that way, and the storm is there to make the metaphysical points that maybe do and maybe don't.

One hell of a story eh?

And lovely English prose.

Fox News Legal Analyst Makes The Case For Trump's Impeachment

Judge Andrew Napolitano wound up and let fly on Monday on Fox News' companion site, Fox Nation.

Russian interference?

Not a bad guess.

Russia strongly favors Brexit and anything that undermines institutions of Western supra-national unity.

Perfectly true.

Who is silencing the right?

The further and more aggressive right.

Donald Trump Jr walks out of Triggered book launch after heckling – from supporters

Donald Trump Jr ventured on to the University of California’s overwhelmingly liberal Los Angeles campus on Sunday, hoping to prove what he had just argued in his book – that a hate-filled American left was hell-bent on silencing him and anyone else who supported the Trump presidency.

But the appearance backfired when his own supporters, diehard Make America Great Again conservatives, raised their voices most loudly in protest and ended up drowning him out barely 20 minutes into an event scheduled to last two hours.

Who's triggered now? Seven times Donald Trump Jr out-snowflaked the left

He is just who you thought he was

And Trump relies on nobody as he relies on this guy regarding the entire issue of immigration and the Mexican border.

Trump adviser Stephen Miller injected white nationalist agenda into Breitbart, investigation reveals

Senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller shaped the 2016 election coverage of the hard right-wing website Breitbart with material drawn from prominent white nationalists, Islamophobes, and far-right websites, according to a new investigative report by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

Miller also railed against those wishing to remove Confederate monuments and flags from public display in the wake of Dylann Roof’s murderous 2015 attack on a black church in Charleston, South Carolina, and praised America’s early 20th-century race-based, restrictionist immigration policies.

Emails from Miller to a former Breitbart writer, sent before and after he joined the Trump campaign, show Miller obsessively focused on injecting white nationalist-style talking points on race and crime, Confederate monuments, and Islam into the far-right website’s campaign coverage, the SPLC report says.
