Why do they have like 2 dozen pens on the podium?

Americans believe that pens touched by presidents while signing bills are magic, and can be used to cure ailments and for general good luck. That's why the president uses like 20 pens for every single signature and then hands those out to bystanders.

These pens also grant you access to Pen Island, where the presidents do sex crimes

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

This shows adjacency between parnas and Jr, but does that relate to impeachment stuff at hand? Seems only mildly tangential to me.

If trump didn’t order it or participate then no it’s not related. But there’s going to be a lot of Parnas stuff so it’s best to understand the full conspiracy and all the players.

Getting a Joe Pesci with a voice modulator and an intentionally lovely haircut vibe, honestly.

Edit: He’s already got the chin size, just needs it made into a full on cleft-chin with a prosthetic or some serious makeup.

Susan Collins is a coward.

Lev Parnas is a big old slimeball and wants to get a reduced sentence but goddamn this interview and those documents are great in drama terms.

He flat out says "why would any of these high-powered people ever meet with me if they weren't told to" and flat out called Trump a liar about not knowing him.

So far

1) of course trump knows
2) pences trip was part of the shakedown
3) Bolton is a first hand witness

Nothing absolutely unexpected, but parnas is making the narrative pretty clear and sensible.

Saying she's a coward kind of implies that she wants to do the right thing and just can't because she's scared. It isn't that. She's just scum.
