Quote :

"President Trump governs despite what his national security advisers tell him and he doesn't care who knows it. Trump on Wednesday rejected testimony by his top intelligence chiefs that, among other things, Iran is still technically complying with the terms of the nuclear agreement from which he has withdrawn the United States. Comments like that by CIA Director Gina Haspel are "naive" and she and the other spy bosses are too "passive," the president tweeted Wednesday morning. Haspel and the other heads of the spy services "should go back to school!" he wrote.. ...."

""The construction of this facility represents the return of LCD electronics and electronic manufacturing to the United States, the country that we love," Trump said at the time.

...but it did have something to do with Ivanka.

There are already emails out there showing members of the committee thought Trump's hotel was charging too much.

I can easily see his lawyers and pundits making that argument.

[Edited on February 5, 2019 at 12:39 PM. Reason : Don't they already do that to distance Trump from some of his more ridiculous tweets?]

2/5/2019 12:37:27 PM

At the national prayer breakfast, Trump said that the "abolition of human rights" is one of our country's greatest accomplishments.

I'm sure he misspoke, but when else is he misspeaking? In trade negotiations? With leaders of hostile nations?

2/7/2019 9:04:26 PM

^abolition of civil rights

2/7/2019 9:45:23 PM

dude is making trail of tears jokes

2/9/2019 10:33:26 PM

Yet what will be the biggest story today?

Trump literally making a joke about genicide? Or Warren claiming she has some Native American blood? Or maybe Gillibrand using a fork on fried chicken?

This Epstein-Acosta-Trump thing is weird

Trump has publicly told stories about Epstein even to the boyscouts. Clinton is caught up in this too.


I find it hard to believe they’ve partied with him and didn’t partake on his business... but who knows.

I'm sure Dershowitz or Guiliani will be all over TV soon to let you know why it isn't technically illegal. The media pundits will nod along.

2/27/2019 8:52:04 AM

anybody actually watching Cohen's testimony?

2/27/2019 10:44:22 AM

Yup. Shits gonna be juicy AF.


Hot takes so far

-Man, Fuck Meadows and Jordan. I hope they’re implicated somehow. SOON
- Cohen sounds (voice, mannerisms, etc) even dumber than I thought he would


This seems like it could be more important than all the other oversight hearings on the Russia fiasco combined.

2/27/2019 11:00:23 AM

We knew he sounded like a goon, but he sounds smarter than Jim Jordan. But that is a low bar.

2/27/2019 11:12:37 AM

Haha yea, it’s gonna be a real “battle of the minds” when Jordan questions him

2/27/2019 11:24:21 AM

the point that cohen shouldn't testify since he's a criminal is a good one for republicans because it would mean that basically no one can testify since almost everyone around trump is a criminal

2/27/2019 11:26:12 AM

^ahaha so true


I mean, Cohen is punching back pretty hard, not letting the GOP lie about him.

I gotta head out in the field after lunch and I’m gonna miss the real fireworks

2/27/2019 11:33:58 AM

Mark Meadows trying the yelling loudly approach

2/27/2019 11:42:29 AM

holy shit, Mark Meadows with the, “here’s a black person” move

Quote :

"Cohen; I'm responsible for Lynn Patton for joining Trump Org in the job she currently holds. Meadows: She says she couldn't work for a racist. Cohen: Neither should I as son of Holocaust survivor."

that was kind of amazing

2/27/2019 12:06:44 PM

why do members of these committees never coordinate their questions for these things?

2/27/2019 1:06:07 PM

is this the first time anyone has stated on the record that trump perjured himself regarding felix sater? i know it's something we've all known about for a long time, but is this the first official statement on that fact?

2/27/2019 1:12:37 PM

why did raskin not follow up when cohen said there were other national enquirer stories that didn't have to do with women?

2/27/2019 1:15:03 PM

wild how horribly incompetent some of these elected officials are

and many of them seem to enjoy licking Trumps boots

2/27/2019 1:24:27 PM

well i'm not an attorney, but i've spent 5 minutes with trump and i never saw any of the stuff that you saw during your years of closely working with him! how dare you insult the commander in chief while is is overseas serving our country!

2/27/2019 1:28:53 PM

where are the boxes?! why does law enforcement not have them?!

the boxes that were seized by the fbi and returned to me? they're in a storage unit.

BUT WHERE ARE THEY?!

that dude really trying to pretend that no hush money was ever paid?

2/27/2019 2:19:29 PM

approx. hour break for voting

2/27/2019 2:35:04 PM

Aside from being entertaining and Cohen making a lot of GOP members look stupid, is this really going to change anything?

I watched the first hour or so, but I don't have time to watch this drag on for the rest of the day.

We already knew about the hush money payment, and that Trump sucks as a human being. Is the best Cohen can offer an insinuation that Trump knew about the meeting without any hard proof? Plz I have a match.

2/27/2019 3:02:54 PM

Absent hard proof, it won't change anybody's mind or give GOPers cover to distance themselves from Cheeto

2/27/2019 3:27:26 PM

I mean I guess this can give Congress the green light to haul some of Trump's inner circle in to testify, but not sure what good that'll do.

By the looks of it, this whole thing isn't going to impact much of anything, but maybe I'm wrong.

2/27/2019 3:28:44 PM

Lol, Mark Meadows got called out for being a racist

Responded with "your my black friend Mr. Chairman and also I have POC in my family"
