When fascism comes to the United States, it will be carrying a bible and humping the flag – paraphrasing, of course.
WaPo:
“A whistleblower complaint about President Trump made by an intelligence official centers on Ukraine, according to two people familiar with the matter, which has set off a struggle between Congress and the executive branch.
“The complaint involved communications with a foreign leader and a ‘promise’ that Trump made, which was so alarming that a U.S. intelligence official who had worked at the White House went to the inspector general of the intelligence community, two former U.S. officials said.
“Two and a half weeks before the complaint was filed, Trump spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, a comedian and political newcomer who was elected in a landslide in May.”
That sounds similar! But I digress.
In undoubtedly related news, Wrong Again Rudy went on the Teevee and literally denied that he’d asked the Ukrainians to investigate Biden, and then admitted that he had indeed asked them to investigate Biden:
So, you know, this might be where Prznint Deals made a promise for a little election interference, you know, sortalike the 2016 Goat Rodeo that he has now absolutely gotten away with!
And THAT brings us to #MoscowMitch — who has suddenly announced support for election security:
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday expressed support for providing states with an additional $250 million in election security funding, an abrupt turnaround after more than a year of opposition from the Kentucky Republican on the issue.
McConnell, who has been derided by Democrats as “Moscow Mitch” for repeatedly blocking efforts to combat Russian interference in U.S. elections, announced his position in remarks on the Senate floor Thursday morning.
So there we are, 3 intertwining stories involving 2020 Goat Rodeo interference, and yet, oddly we cannot haz impeachment.
At this point, Pelosi has lost all credibility with me. She’s pathetic.

She has got to go along with everyone else Republican or Democrat that is standing in the way of impeaching this dishonorable and corrupt president. Country over party. Without some accountability for Trump, the is no hope of maintaining the rule of law in the near future.
As eVille Mike said – “If this is a nation of laws, then we’d better start acting like it. People respond to leadership – to the bold stroke. If you know it’s right, then get off your fuckin’ ass and do it.” https://evilletimes.blogspot.com/2019/09/todays-tweet_20.html

That, or brag of her centrist legislative agenda where a majority of the passed bills languish on the senate majority leader’s desk that no one within the beltway media seems to bother asking.

And a sternly worded letter.

Minsk is the capital of Belarus, which is not mentioned in the story.
The capital of Ukraine is Kyiv.

If Moscow Mitch approved the funding I bet it’s one day too late to implement before the election and one dollar short of the budget needed.

I’m betting on no difference being made in election security but a whole lot of voting machine manufacturers getting paid handsomely.

fat nixon has never once in his life actually paid the price for his managerial incompetence, his absurdist vulgarity or his outright corruption. It is tragic that in the now laughable executive branch, his political opposition sees this and thinks a sternly worded letter or finger wagging in front of the worthless beltway media will reign him in since those antiquated institutions work so well.

He and his handlers are dousing gasoline on the house fire daily while Pelosi asks wall st. if it’s imperative to watch the fire burn instead of putting it out. SMFH

We’re at the stage where we absolutely HAVE TO impeach. The evidence is overwhelming, with new accusations occuring every day, and a majority of the public is in favor of it. The way I look at it is it’s our last resort, as nothing else is working – especially not Congress. But I’m so certain that an impeachment hearing would result in an outcome that shows the public just how nefarious, corrupt and law-breaking these guys are that tRump’s already-low approval ratings would plummet precipitously, and would thereby show the public that at the very least, THIS aspect of our Republic is still alive, thriving and was finally put to good use.
So what if the Senate refuses to convict? Just more ammo for the Dims, going into the election, pointing out how useless & worthless Moscow Mitch and his craven cronies are. And if the House begins proceedings right away, then the culmination would happen right before the election – which would have a Yuge impact on the voters.

We all here would love that scenario and fat nixon is just begging for it. However, using history as a guide, Pelosi and Schumer love taking the progressive base for granted and like the worthless beltway media who both don’t want to rankle the markets and piss off their wall st. donors, spend too much time and resources on the lobotomized denizens of possum hollar who will never support anything for the good of the country.
