Lol that’s a USB mic a lot of people use and you definitely don’t talk into the end like that.

Those mics can sound good, but nobody bothers to set the little mode knob correctly, place them properly, or give any thought to room noise. They just think "I spent $100 on this big thing, I'm gonna sound like Roman Mars"

This is not what I expected to get set off about this morning

So this article appeared on CNN this morning:
Trump incredulous after his moves on transparency failed to stop Pelosi

Apparently Trump was truly shocked that Pelosi proceeded toward impeachment after he agreed to release a transcript of the phone call. I expect to see a ton of ever more desperate flailing over the next few days.

quote:

It was after that call that Trump made the decision to release an "unredacted" version of the transcript of his July call -- against the advice of aides such as Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who warned him it would set a risky precedent. Trump wanted to undercut the argument from Democrats that he acted inappropriately, he said, and felt he had nothing to hide.

But when the announcement he would release the transcript did little to quell the growing calls for his impeachment, Trump was in disbelief.

...

After Pelosi's historic announcement, Trump immediately began lashing out, accusing Democrats of distracting from his successes at the United Nations General Assembly and arguing it was just "more breaking news Witch Hunt garbage."
But people close to him said he is not welcoming this impeachment fight. The President who keeps a careful watch on his approval numbers was unhappy.

it's not all that surprising since the reporting had been trump's people thought they were cool with ignoring subpoenas since pelosi wasn't doing anything.

Huh.

I'd never actually thought about black people during the Holocaust. I mean, it makes perfect sense that the Nazis would have killed them, but they're never mentioned - just Jews, Roma, gay people and the disabled.

Trump is loving insane

quote:

The call begins with Trump congratulating Zelensky on his election victory, but quickly devolves into the president pressing for an investigation of his political rivals and endorsing an apparent conspiracy theory. He seems to suggest Hillary Clinton’s private email server is in Ukraine and asserts that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation started with that country.

quote:

At the outset of the call, Trump also asks for Ukraine’s help in finding the location of the Democratic National Committee server that U.S. officials say was hacked by Russian intelligence in the run-up to the 2016 election.

No, "the server is in Ukraine" is not a wildly held belief, what is wrong with you

And I don't even understand what he thinks is happening with the DNC server - there's no impropriety even rumored about that. It was hacked, and a hacker has all the e-mails.

This is like hearing about a bank robbery, and then trying to solve the case by asking where the bank vault is, and thinking it means the bank committed a crime. The President Is Insane.
