Of course, keeping the current hearings quiet only serves the temporary purpose of preventing the lying testifiers from coordinating their lies via other, more honest testifiers, thus catching the original liars in their lying lies.

The Whistleblower's testimony has already been rendered kinda unimportant after it has been supported by other witnesses/evidence (like if you call 911 anonymously on a bank robbery and subsequent eyewitness/video evidence to that robbery renders your call, or need to appear in court kinda moot). It would be nice to have, but as the piles continue to heap on the orange poo poo smear, are probably not necessary.

In any case, SCHIFF testimony transcripts will likely be published in full (including Republican questions and witness answers) after the quiet phase has ended and before a Senate trial begins (absent whatever state secrets stuff). Any remaining Republicans for trump will be yet again find new ways to be unhappy. :(

Trump admits that he could have prevented this carnage. Instead, he’s welcoming it.

On Oct. 17, the United States announced an agreement to halt the invasion. The agreement essentially accepted Turkish control of the seized territory. But Trump said the deal—really, a surrender—couldn’t have been accomplished without the violence he had unleashed. “Without that gunfire going back and forth, without those rockets going in both directions, without other countries moving in and potentially moving in and creating virtually a world war—without all of that happening, you would’ve never been able to make this deal,” he declared.

Trump credited his fake breakthrough not just to the violence but to the bloodshed it inflicted. “If they didn’t go through two and a half days of hell, I don’t think they would’ve done it,” he said of the Kurds and Turks. On Wednesday, he boasted, “The pain and suffering of the three-day fight that occurred was directly responsible for our ability to make an agreement with Turkey and the Kurds that could never have been made without this short-term outburst.”

Gingrich is not just a bit player in this whole scheme. He was a major player in Clinton's impeachment, obviously, but like...

Hillary complained then of a 'Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy.' And I laughed her off (and voted for Bush jr). We all thought she was stupid and crazy or whatever. But she was right, and she was in a unique position to see it before the rest of us. Unfortunately, it turned out to be bigger than a GOP plot - it's an international fascist movement.

Gingrich is tight with Greta's husband, John Coale. He's a high-ranking scientologist, and if you remember their fascist plot to take over the gov't, it started with Coale - https://gawker.com/5185380/sarah-palin-advisers-secret-scientology-plot-to-take-over-washington.

Before Coale was advising Palin (in 2008), he was on Hillary's team. Right up until Obama clinched it.

I've been checking their respective twitter accounts periodically, over the past few years. It's always, from both of them, 100% trump apology, 100% pushing the /very same/ narratives that the international fascist machine is pushing. More than party-line, they're probably part of the larger mastermind that decides which false narratives to push and where. And gingrich and coale engage each-other on twitter with great frequency.

All speculative, of course.

e: Kavenaugh goes back to this corner of the fascist machine too; he worked for Starr to investigate the death of vince foster. That evolved into the 'hillary killed seth rich' narrative.
Gingrich has behaved exactly as you would expect a nazi russian agent to on topics ranging from the kiddie concentration camps to wikileaks to qanon dogwhistling to fellating trump to well goddamned everything. But (it seems to be that) gingrich's treason goes back before the US fascist machine linked up with Putin's fascist machine. They just met up and dovetailed (no later than the take-over of the NRA and the collusion between the GRU and Cambridge Analytica).

Having known parents that have wished for a son or daughter and borne the opposite gender, and then seen them impose their desired gender on their child, I'm kind of inclined to agree. Kids want to be all sorts of things when they're young... boys, girls, fire-trucks... If a little boy wants to dress in girls clothes or visa versa, or play with different toys, then parents should be encouraged to let it play out one way or another. But when you start using medications or procedures that will permanently change them, I think that's a decision that should be held off at least until they start to reach puberty, and they are better equipped to make the choice.

In this case, the kid's seven.

Edit: Also, I wonder whether the specialists in these cases actually care about the kid, or their bank balance.

If your kid is seven and he or she has appendicitis you'll probably want to seek relief, hopefully via medications. If your kid is seven and he or she has crippling depression you'll probably want to seek relief (yep, it happens, cause brains are complicated), sometimes with medications. If your kid is seven and he or she has crippling depression because she was born with he parts you'll probably want to seek relief (yep, it happens). Hopefully via medications at first at least.

What exactly do you think is going on in this scenario? They aren't giving a seven year old hormones or performing SRS on her, jesus. The most trans kids ever get is puberty blockers so they have longer to figure themselves out without puberty doing things they can't take back and giving them horrible dysphoria as they grow into a body that feels wrong.

Did you read the whole article? If not, you really should.

Nobody is giving puberty blockers to seven-year-olds (unless it’s to treat precocious puberty), very few teenagers who use them change their minds later, and they’re hugely beneficial for treating gender dysphoria at a critical developmental junction.

E: And on the other hand, it is abuse to continue to impose your assigned gender on a child experiencing dysphoria, which is exactly what the father is doing.

It was the reason CPS and the jury ruled in favor of the mother: the mother simply have Luna the choice of choosing whatever way to present, with male and female clothing, while the father pushed to the point of abuse that Luna should be male.
