^
That’s my perception at this point.

No one is following the hearings. People accept trump used taxpayer dollars in a bribery scheme, but this scheme and the coverup don’t register as beyond the pale for the average person since politicians waste taxpayer dollars all the time.

They really should have used the opportunity to bring up the child separation, lying about stormy Daniels, emoluments violations, and hatch act violations. The public would be drawn in for the lurid stuff and people would be debating these things regardless of whether they’re valid for impeachment.

Democrats are tiptoeing worried about looking partisan, meanwhile trump invites lavrov on stage to trash the cia and fbi while pompeo stands beside him.

the first part of the judiciary hearings was a wash, but then it was bad for trump. the IG report hearing was somewhere between bad to a wash for trump.

overall this has not been good for trump

From the IG hearings I owe an apology to Carter Page. Dude got dragged and was mostly right. Papadoupolous, on the other hand, is a lying fool. FISA needs to be massively overhauled but the reality is the only thing preventing that from happening in 2014 was the GOP because they thought losing the ability to violate brown peoples rights was a bridge too far.

Trump tweeted more than 100 times today and the only thing that stuck was Greta. He’s just fishing for what will maximize his divisiveness. This creates a lot of material for his campaign to put in ads too.

Trump also floated the idea of skipping the debates which I’ve been saying for a while he’ll do. He has nothing to gain by showing the world how dumb he is

The Dem nominee should show up for debates as scheduled and just read off Trump Tweets as responses to the questions posed.

Wow, even Trump fans have a limit. We know Trump doesn’t because he’s a disgusting shell of a human but his fans didn’t react at all to his awful, pathetic, inhuman comments on John Dingell.

I can’t wait for Earl to roll in and tell me why he was right, though.

yeah .. they groaned and then probably snickered 2 seconds later. you actually think they were outraged? did they boo or march out? what are they doing today?

also can we please quit giving earl a stage? you know he will simply say "well actually, look how bad michigan is!"

No clue what this dude was talking about. He has lied so much that he's probably lost track of whats been said and what hasn't. I don't even believe in heaven or hell nor have I ever mentioned dingle. Probably has something to do with me speaking out against the liberal canonization of mccain. Trump didn't like mccain so TDS made that mean anyone who hates mccain is #foreverTrump.

What I still don't understand is why he even lets this stuff come out of his mouth.

Either he can't help it, or he loves trolling the left and each word he says is calculated for maximum outrage.

Iraq is saying they might expel the remaining 5000 us troops from their country. Would kind of be a silver lining here.

Would be ironic if Iraq sided with Iran in the impending war against the USA and Saudi Arabia though...

Is it not a bit weird that Trumps health is touched with kid gloves? I mean, when Clinton had pneumonia it was literally top line news for weeks.

Trump was badly slurring and sniffling and just altogether oddly behaved through this speech yesterday. And not only was it never mentioned on any newscast but the speech was selectively cut to omit the obvious slurs and sniffs. He also randomly was whisked away to a hospital like two months ago on a Saturday. Just complete normalization of all of it by a terrible Washington media.

I can almost guarantee you that there are more journalists trying to dig into his health issues than Clinton's. It's just that you had him at the helm spouting about how unhealthy she was. No one currently is as loud as he and the Republicans were about Hillary's health.

The dude is old, and has eaten poorly his entire life. It wouldn't surprise me if he's having TIA's that are causing his issues.

It's pretty obvious that he's on something speed or coke related. If he is gonna challenge people like Obama and Warren to release private documents about themselves, why hasn't anybody pressured him into taking a drug test?

I think he sounds bad in those professional speeches because its so painful for a him with his ego to read something someone wrote and made him read. You can tell those weren't his words but when he's off the cuff at his rallies, he's in his element and sounds energetic. Thats him being nervous and uncomfortable.

Trump grew red in the face, but saved his fire for later. The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff later called Tillerson, his voice unsteady with emotion, to thank him."


Trump didn’t know about Pearl Harbor or that China and India border

Parnas accusations tonight are

He’s detailing how trumps team of lawyers all rallied to get this buried. He clarified how rick perry was involved. Pence clearly knew about it but seems ancillary so far. He puts barr at the center of the coverup.

Are you trying to say that the profits of farmers, miners, and builders depend more on long-term environmental integrity than does their freedom to operate without concern for environmental impacts?

Its almost as if you think the same people will be relying on those jobs 50 years from now.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/24/world/middleeast/iran-iraq-troops-brain-injuries.html

Quote :
"— The Defense Department said Friday that 34 American service members have traumatic brain injuries from Iranian airstrikes on Al Asad Base in Iraq, contradicting President Trump’s dismissal of injuries among American troops earlier this week.

Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman told a news conference that eight of the affected service members have returned to the United States from an American military hospital in Germany.

Mr. Trump on Wednesday dismissed concussion symptoms felt by the troops as “not very serious,” even as the Pentagon acknowledged that a number of American service members were being studied for possible traumatic brain injury caused by the attack.

“I heard they had headaches,” Mr. Trump told a news conference in Davos, Switzerland. “I don’t consider them very serious injuries relative to other injuries I have seen.”

The comments of the president, who avoided the Vietnam War draft thanks to a diagnosis of bone spurs, drew swift criticism from veterans groups.

“Don’t just be outraged by #PresidentMayhem’s latest asinine comments,” Paul Rieckhoff, the founder of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, wrote in a Twitter post that day. “Take action to help vets facing TBIs,” meaning traumatic brain injuries.

The missiles were launched by Iran in retaliation for the killing of a top Iranian general, Qassim Suleimani, by an American drone strike in Baghdad on Jan. 3. The Trump administration at first said that there were no injuries from the Iranian attack on American troops.

Pentagon and military officials said subsequently that any delay in reporting the injuries was because it took time for the information to work its way up the chain of command to leaders in Washington. Officials also noted that symptoms from brain injuries do not always appear immediately.

Of the 34 service members diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries, 17 were flown by medical evacuation aircraft to Germany. Nine remain in the military hospital there, while the others were flown to the United States.

One person was taken by medevac to Kuwait. Sixteen service members were treated for traumatic brain injury in Iraq and have returned to duty, officials said."

So Trump lied about no one being hurt and now is downplaying their injuries all for the sake of de-escalating the conflict with Iran.
