'This shouldn’t get lost in the avalanche of crazy. The wall we need is between DOJ and the White House. The foundation of our democracy- the rule of law- depends on it.' Sally Q. Yates.

'After avoiding service in Vietnam by getting a “bone spurs” note from his father’s doctor friend, POTUS now goes after a decorated war veteran who volunteered to risk his life for our country? Who represents the America we want to be?'

'America is facing two crises in the same person with Donald Trump. He will likely be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors. He probably should also have been removed from office months or years ago under the 25th Amendment because of his mental instability.

The stress of impeachment and a looming sense that perhaps, after 70-plus years of life, he may face some accountability for his wrongdoing is apparently causing Donald Trump to retreat into a delusional alternate reality.'

Not so much the Mulvaney report - just generally.

edition.cnn.com/2019/10/30/politics/alexander-vindman-testimony-white-house-transcript/index.html

'The National Security Council's top Ukraine expert told House impeachment investigators on Tuesday that he tried to make changes to the White House's rough transcript of the July phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukraine's President, including that Trump mentioned tapes of former Vice President Joe Biden, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman testified that one example of his attempts to change the transcript was to include Trump telling Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky there were tapes of Biden, which The New York Times reported occurred where there's an ellipsis in the transcript that was released. The change was not made. The assertion that some portion of the conversation was replaced by an ellipsis contradicts the White House's statement in September that the ellipses in the transcript did not represent missing words or phrases. It also contradicts the President who has insisted the transcript the White House released was an exact depiction of the call, even though the memo itself describes it as rough.'

Wow.

Will this have a knock on effect?

Comes after Facebook have just said they aren't going to ban political ads, or even political ads containing lies.

Twitter bans all political advertising

Just watching You Know Who speaking at Quantico. Not a person in that room, I reckon, that wouldn't have died for him.

The MAGAs, of course, are saying that there is no problem replacing a Medal of Freedom recipient’s face with a dog’s head. None at all, especially considering the person himself is apparently fine with it. I think they haven’t thought that one through - a hallmark of MAGAs and the Trump administration in general.
