#BREAKING @HillaryClinton impeachment proceedings underway at today’s @HouseJudiciary hearing.

This sort of thing will only get worse

Gohmert is now doing an incredibly disturbing thing. Running down a list of DOJ/FBI officials and asking if they have any “political bias” against the Trump administration.

Eh? What? I don't get it.

I saw part 1 of that trump biog. Funny how his early days lawyer was a little pitbull who worked on the McCarthy witch hunts.

Sorry, that was a bit context free.

The committee hearing wth Christopher Wray, head off fbi, is partly focussed on the fact that someone was removed from the Hillary email server investigation supposedly for sending texts taking the piss out of the orange one. Therefore he’s loyal to hrc therefore he didn’t investigate hard enough etc etc.

During this committee hearing, they’re now going through lists of law enforcement officials and doj officials in a frightening mccarthyesque way, asking who else is anti-trump.

FBI agent dismissed from Mueller probe changed Comey's description of Clinton to 'extremely careless‘

^^ was also another concern. The same guy also downgraded comey’s initial assessment of
Hrc’s email situation from “grossly negligent” to “extremely careless”

Al Franken lost his senate seat.
Harvey Weinstein lost his company.
Anthony Weiner is in jail.

Roy Moore is STILL the Republican candidate for Senate.
Donald Trump is STILL the PRESIDENT.

Don't tell me there's no difference between the parties.

They're still banging on about Hillary's bloody private emails in the middle of the shitstorm they've created? These people are bloody maniacs. I can't take it.

Vent away ouais and have a break if necessary but come back and stay informed because what other recourse do we have? If we can’t do anything else at least we can bear witness

You sound as if you're ready for your quick time-out, Ouais. And/or your .

also makes for effective therapy, some say, but perhaps not great for the arteries.

FBI Director Wray told lawmakers the bureau is negotiating with the intel committees about whether to provide info about FISA applications in Russia probe. First official confirmation they exist.

Also, not to add to anyone's heightened blood pressure, but the new brexit thread as discussed above was started today, for anyone who wants to start reading before it's hundreds of posts long

Thanks for the link, Pain - although I doubt I could contribute much. More for reading, I guess.

WH Press Sec Sanders said not decided whether US will participate in 2018 Olympics

Sarah Huckabee Sanders just said the allegations against Trump have been dealt with; that voters decided & put the matter to rest.

No. That's now how this works. Voters don't get to decide that sexual assault is okay.

WH: Trump has an annual physical scheduled with doctors at Walter Reed early next year, and he will release the results of the exam.

How many US citizens would travel to South Korea for the games? (Roughly.)

I saw this through the lens of Russia being banned and the US perhaps now not participating in (not so secret) solidarity but I don’t know if it’s worse that it might be because they fear a nuclear war

I’ve confused myself now because upon re-reading your post, maybe that’s not what you meant either!

I see that SoCal is on 'Purple Alert', Across. Fingers still crossed for you, yours and all in the potential path of the fires.

I did mean that. (There are other reasons for The Huck saying it, though.)

Private War: Erik Prince Has His Eye On Afghanistan's Rare Metals

BuzzFeed News is publishing the slide presentation by the founder of Blackwater to privatize the Afghan war and mine Afghanistan's valuable minerals. He pitched the proposal to the Trump administration. Prince told BuzzFeed News, "You're a fucking hack.

It's all about money and/or power, basically.

Perhaps the Spider-Man quote should be amended to

“With great power comes great sponsorship”
