I'm honestly curious how many times (if any?) US and Russian sof have encountered eachother face to face in the last 30 years. Aside from how loving insane it is that US and Russians are cooperating against a NATO member, afaik it's entirely unprecedented to have them anywhere near eachother, much less helping.
there was that time recently we lit up a bunch of Wagner group mercenaries, arguably a russian special forces cut out and/or a quickly disavowed PMC staffed with Russian special forces veterans

Apparantly all the mega rich have bought themselves New Zealand citizenship because somehow NZ won't be affected and also doesn't actually exist on maps or something.

Really? Hope the mega rich don't mind sharing with all the Kiwis and all the Aussies then as Aussies get to live visa free in NZ. Plus all the Pacific Islands that have rights to live in NZ too.

It sure is funny how Trump keep doing these international politics bombs that plays into Russian interests time and time again.

I mean the fact that Trump caved like a wimp to Erdogan, can you imagine how dangerous a phonecall with Putin is to the rest of the world?

i think this is somewhat true: obviously, there are republicans in there and they're going to leak what they can quietly. but without the full transcripts its going to be very hard to carefully calibrate your lies to match up with all details of what were said before, absent actually hauling the republican congressmen into a witness prep session where everyone is very explicitly working on the correct lies, which is itself a really bad idea

i think it was Heck or one of the other representatives who said this but: no matter how much they pretend they want these interviews public when they're on the media, they really don't, they've (by literally all accounts i am aware of) been incredibly bad for republicans

like, that's the other reason they've been silent except for hollering about the procedure, their only option right now is just to not talk about or leak the substance of the interviews at all because it's awful for them

yeah but part of that is, presumably, that people are admitting bad poo poo. people are much more likely to do that when they think you might already know some of the bad poo poo (but they don't know which bad poo poo you know) and are concerned about being caught in a lie.

right, keeping them off camera and not releasing transcripts until later is an obviously smart strategy here. i think just last night we saw some evidence that it's working in the big piece about Sondland in the Post.

his planned testimony has already changed a little from what he previously told them, because he's realizing that some of the things he planned to say to cover his rear end last week are maybe no longer good now that his testimony comes after multiple people who told the truth about him. but he can't really craft his lies specifically to avoid those pitfalls like he might be able to if they were public

Anything that deprives the obsequious, bloviating, Trump boot licking Republicans that waste their 5 minutes talking about what a travesty this hearing is and how dare you accuse our great president of blah blah blah of their TV platform to show off for Daddy is fine by me. That plus the stuff you said but really, that most of all.
