Trump and the Giant Impeachment. Trump thread 97

[AcrossthePond55]

With credit to Stephen Colbert (and Roald Dahl) for the title.

Vote taken, public House hearings to begin. Here we gooooooo!!!

Is it just my imagination or is Trump's overcoat getting bigger and bigger😳
I think he's going to gradually transition into wearing a great big emperor's cloak 🤭

Or he's shrinking?

This is an adventure in Wonderland, after all.

Well you'd ertainly think he ought to be shrinking under the weight of it all 😲
But he looks just as tall to me 😳

I think he's like a baddie in a pantomime feeding off of all the 'BOOOO's

I certainly remember the New Yorker piece, cozie although I'm not sure I watched Maddow back then.

If anyone needs a laugh and a break, Wanda Sykes is on Netflix with a show called 'Not Normal'.

She is very funny and has a few things to say about Trump.

Rhino, I was noticing that the last couple of times I've seen him in clips on TV. Either he's gained a good deal of weight or he's wearing heavy body armour and he's having to wear bigger sizes to cover it up. I saw him in a clip next to that dipshit Rand Paul and Scrotus looked like a whale. Or Paul is Keebler Elf-sized.

There was a slowed down clip of him at the UFC match and the look on his mug when he realized he was being boo'ed is priceless. He was defintely not enjoying it. And good ol' Eric was grinning like a loon.

Rudy.

The depositions that came out today show that the Trump-Ukraine scandal is damn simple: @RudyGiuliani was @realDonaldTrump's shakedown man in a quid-pro-quoor extortionscheme. Plus, Rudy's been lying about how he got involved. Please read and RT.

Despite the headline from The Hill, this is damaging testimony for Trump.

'Trump campaigned for Matt Bevin in Kentucky last night and said to the crowd, "You gotta vote because if you lose, it sends a really bad message. It just sends a bad and they're going to build it up ... You can't let that happen to me."'

Knife edge stuff in Virginia.

Damn.

Kentucky Governor Race (95% reporting)

Andy Beshear (D) 670,304 49.5%
Matt Bevin (R) 656,876 48.5%

Virginia governorship and both chambers of the state legislature now in Dem control for the 1st time in 20 years.

I read somewhere that the Rep candidate is not conceding, is that right?

Good news whatever!

... and Kentucky.

Oh that's fabulous, lionheart!

A Woman Who Was Fired For Flipping Off Trump's Motorcade Won An Election In Virginia
www.buzzfeednews.com/article/claudiakoerner/juli-briskman-democrat-virginia-election-flip-off-trump

Juli Briskman won a seat on the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors, beating the incumbent Republican in her district.

Yep, Republican Bevin not yet conceding to Beshear in Kentucky. Margin is 0.4%, so for once I have a teeny smidgeon of sympathy for that position.

Lovely photo of Gurning Orange behind Bevin at a rally. Wonder how long it will be before the SuperCallousFragileEgo rage-tweets dissing him?

Impeachment investigators announce first public hearings next week www.cnn.com/2019/11/06/politics/public-impeachment-hearings-announced/index.html

And away we go!!!

I see that DT Jr and others are tweeting the name of the alleged whistle-blower (in Jr's case via a Breitbart article).

Re revealing the whistleblower:

www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/11/05/cnns_toobin_yes_unmasking_a_whistleblower_is_illegal_its_harassment.html

Does anyone know what the deleted posts above were?

JIC it was about the whistleblower may I politely suggest that if someone HAS seen their name that it not be posted on our thread and that we should report posts naming them?

I haven't seen their name, but then I haven't really been looking for it.
