On White House refuses participate in the impeachment inquiry in a two-paragraph missive by Trump's attorney:

Nota Bene: the only Norman Trump resembles is the one from Bates Hotel.

OD, I'm glad you crawled out of the swamp to hiss and snap your teeth at me. I didn't realize I had followers and minions so my terse, witty and instructive comments must be reaching a much broader audience than I ever imagined.

I've never been accused of being an Aristocrat before and I know of no highborn blood in any branch of my family tree. I can only trace one branch of that tree back to a fateful day in 1066 and a Norman foot soldier who stood and fought, on that bloody battlefield at Hastings, for a lesser Aristocrat then called William the Bastard. My family oral history tells me that that Norman soldier saved William's life that day. His action may have changed the course of history allowing William to breathe and remount to lead his army to victory, forever after being known as William the Conqueror King of England. That Norman soldier was rewarded for his actions that day and was Knighted Eyre earning his new elevated position not inheriting it.

Our Wise and Beloved President showed the same courage as William did in his day against overwhelming odds and defeated the Red Queen who along with her cult believed she should inherit power. Trump earned his position by gathering an army of more than 60 million loyal voters willing to stand and fight the modern version of Aristocratic elites populating the Swamp today.He can depend on this volunteer army to Reelect The Motherf***er giving him powers a King or Queen could only dream of.

I didn't have the courage to vote for Trump and join the volunteers who changed the course of history but I plan to correct that weakness and honor my Norman ancestor by standing with this volunteer army next year.I also plan to continue sharpening my terse wit inherited from the Dickens' branch of my family tree to skewer the lizard creatures and Duckies that waddle up from the fetid Swamp.

Have a Merry Christmas!

I see Peter (unverified) chimed in up thread.

If you're confused by Peter's fairy tales this comment will help you sort things out. It will give you a new mental map upon which to fix your own position so that you can better direct your attention in some detail to the vast and irreparable calamity brought upon us by him. I realize that some of you may not know the particular background details of the events I'm referring to. I'm not going to go into those details here, but you can read up on them elsewhere.

If Peter were as bright as he thinks he is, he'd know that there is no running from it. There is no escape. All we can do is turn Peter's temeritous, rummy arguments to our advantage and hope that an increasing number of people will then see that I suggest that we break the mold and stray from the path of conventional wisdom.

Peter's obsequious followers and minion are engaged in perpetual one-upmanship over who more deeply enjoys Peter 's line of bullshit. These are the sorts of people who don't care about the fact that Peter wants to leave behind a wake of heinous reaction. Who does he think he is?

The fact of the matter is that the caricature that often passes today for a critique of his complaints assumes that the poor, innocent, kitten-loving members of his RWNJ of doolally Huns are persecuted by people like you and me. This caricature is horse crap.

The reality is that you may find it instructive to contrast the things I like with the things that Peter likes. I like listening to music. Peter likes degrading, dividing people and destroying the fabric of our nation. I like kittens and puppies. Peter likes the investor class who are siphoning off scarce international capital intended for underdeveloped countries. I like spending time with friends. He likes threatening anyone who's bold enough to state that his reckless apothegms are in full flower, and their poisonous petals of Mohockism are blooming all around us.

Peter exhibits what happens when a healthy skepticism about political affairs gives way to a debilitating parasitism. Knowing, as they say, is half the battle. What remains is to take the mechanisms, language, ideology, and phraseology for determining what is right and what is wrong out of the hands of individuals such as Peter and his fellow Baboons and put them back in the hands of ordinary, rational people. It may seem difficult to do that. It is.

In conclusion: Peter is extraordinarily brazen. We've all known that for a long time. However, his willingness to create widespread psychological suffering sets a new record for brazenness.

The best scene from todays farce inquisition was when Matt Gaetz knocked the churlish lib expert professor off her high horse by reading her surly comments about how she views the unwashed 'Other'.. Her lame attempt at humor may have made some libs chuckle but dragging a minor child onto the battlefield just shows how low,,cruel and arrogant the elite have become or always were.Gaetz went on to strike her dumb as a monkey by asking a simple question, had she seen evidence that required a real impeachment.

All this drama occurred while Jerrod The Hut slouched in his throne unable to even stay conscious.

A reporter asks Nancy Pelosi if she "hates the president."

"I don't hate anybody," she says in a strong response. "As a Catholic, I resent your using the word hate in a sentence that addresses me...Don't mess with me when it comes to words like that." https://t.co/gw1UdPVuFp pic.twitter.com/UmPs57hKlZ

I'm totally on board with the argument, as I think so far they coulda and shoulda done a better job, not just to look like they got some jurisprudence type honor (as opposed to, an alternative to, most current congressional GOP who do not) but they should also keep hope alive that there are many more Never Trumpers out there in centrist voter land who have Senators that might actually care what those constituents think.

Also that to play into partisan vs. partisan is awful risky when the general election of a president grows near. Dangerous not to believe the polls that say those in the center are sick of it, as if they stay home, you get troubles.

This is identical to the media concluding that the Democrats failed to make their case in the Mueller report.

Their point was not finding a perceived neutral voice to witness to the public. If there is such a thing. Part of GOP strategy is to label disappointing Trump appointees or Republicans living off the reservation or any undeclared civil servant "Democrat partisans".

Coney? Mueller?

In reply to Today’s House Judiciary

Count on the Atlantic to safely claim "both sides muddle the issue", ergo, both sides to blame.

That Trump illegally held up military aid to Ukraine in order to bribe that nation into announcing that it was launching an investigation into the Bidens is not a matter of factual dispute at this point. It has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt by overwhelming sworn testimony and evidence from multiple sources.

A reality based press would note the sad fact that 40% of the voters, and the Republican Party, don't care, and in fact enthusiastically support Trump bribing foreign countries to attack Democrats.
