In Mypos, only the strong survive.

There were clips of a Jimmy Carter speech in Capitalism: A Love Story that were prophetic. Just a great person, maybe too good to be president.

President Donald Trump, the most unfairly investigated and harassed President in the history of the world, has adroitly compared the constitutionally defined impeachment inquiry he is facing to lynching, the extralegal process of a mob murdering someone.

He was so toxic to the value of the company that it paying him minecraft money just to go away was less costly than letting him stay and continue to drive the company into the dirt.

Another option: Carter and Clinton die while Donny is in office. He isn't invited to Carter's funeral, but is invited to Clinton's. The Q people would lose their poo poo.

I figured Bill Taylor's testimony in the Ukraine poo poo would be pretty explosive and yep! Reporters are getting reports from both sides about how bad it was.

I thought it sounded like a shittastic cash grab, but:


quote:

The anonymous author of “A WARNING” did not take an advance and intends to donate some of the royalties to nonprofit organizations that focus on government accountability and supporting truth-tellers in repressive countries, including the White House Correspondents’ Association, Latimer said.

“The author could have received a seven-figure advance for writing this book,” Latimer said. “But ‘A WARNING’ was not written for financial reasons. The author sees this as an act of conscience and of duty, which is why the author refused any advance and is donating a substantial portion of any royalties to charities that protect those seeking the truth around the world.”

The way everyone's talking on the Hill, it's basically one of those "ballgame" moments. All that's really left is for Democrats to add additional charges, to determine how long they want it to drag out, and if Republican senators decided to fully, partially, or not stand by the party-line justification in the trial.

quote:


Acting US Ambassador to Ukraine Bill Taylor said Gordon Sondland told him President Trump wanted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to publicly state he would investigate Bursima and the 2016 election in order to provide the Ukrainians with a meeting and security assistance, according to a copy of Taylor’s opening statement obtained by CNN.

“During that phone call Ambassador Sondland told me that President Trump had told him that he wants President Zelensky to state publicly that Ukraine will investigate Burisma and alleged Urkainian interference in the 2016 US election,” according to the testimony from earlier today.

Sondland, US ambassador to the European Union, told Taylor he’d also made a mistake earlier by telling the Ukrainian officials that a White House meeting with Zelensky “was dependent on a public announcement of the investigations.”

"In fact, Ambassador Sondland said ‘everything’ was dependent on such an announcement, including security assistance,” Taylor testified.
Taylor testified that Trump wanted Zelensky “in a public box” by making a public statement about ordering the investigations.

In the monitored stream of traffic and in the midst of our personal and manufactured sentimentality we still are unable to stop and examine the meaningless chaos just outside the ordered system. A chaos we are on the verge of falling victim to. The stream must continue and we are left a brief window of exclamation before we must continue without stopping. It is crazy. It is so hot in here.

He will, but it will likely be after months and after a Senate trial. That'll be fun to deal with in an election year and be one hell of a thing for history books.
