I read the Cohen testimony. He alleges a whole lot of non-criminal behavior that has no business being discussed at a hearing like this.
He also says that Trump heard about the Wikileaks DNC dump ahead of time and said "that would be great." What else is he supposed to say? Is it illegal for a politician to revel in the political embarrassment of his opponent?
He says that he (Cohen) paid Stormy Daniels with his own money, and then Trump reimbursed him with his personal funds. Again, not illegal. He says Trump never directly told him to lie to congress and he has no knowledge of any Russian collusion conspiracy.
So, in conclusion, what is the point of this hearing?
Oh, Cohen also says that Trump was negotiating to build a tower in Moscow because, says Cohen, Trump didn't think he'd win the presidency. This actually undercuts the accusation that Trump wanted to leverage the presidency for financial gain.

It’s a fact that Michael Jackson was accused of sex abuse by 5 boys who slept in the same bed as him. It’s a fact that the hallway to Jackson’s room was rigged so that he’d be alerted if anyone was coming. It’s a fact that he kept bondage porn by the bed where he slept with boys
It’s a fact that he found boys he liked and started lavishing their parents with gifts and money. It’s a fact that Jackson’s house was turned into an amusement park to attract kids.
It’s a fact that Jackson paid off more than one accuser. It’s a fact that even these few facts should be enough to lead any thinking person to the firm conclusion that Jackson was a monstrous predator. And it’s a fact that Jackson’s defenders are creepy, brainwashed cultish fools

A lot of people told me to watch Russian Dolls on Netflix. Having done so, I'm now convinced that all of the acclaim for this awful, boring show starring the most annoying lead character in television history must be some kind of practical joke.
She's doing some kind of weird Joe Pesci impression the entire time. Her character is not only completely false and contrived but also obnoxious. The rest of the show surrounding her isn't much better.
And I say this as a dedicated fan of the "same day keeps repeating over and over" genre

I have to be the dissenting voice in this #ADHD discussion. I know that "ADHD type" people exist -- I'm one of them -- but I think it is a category error to say that we have a mental disorder. This error has led to the diseasifying and drugging of millions of healthy children.
The medicalization of normal dispositions and personality types is very advantageous to drug companies, but it is harmful to people and especially children
The whole "ADHD exists vs ADHD doesn't exist" paradigm is faulty. No on denies that there are people -- again, like myself -- who fall into the category we have labeled ADHD. The question, which is more philosophical than anything, is whether that category is disordered.

Y'day Trump tried to squirm out of his kiss-up to Kim by saying media misinterpreted him about Otto Warmbier. Today he uses misinterpretation again to claim "Russia-if-you're-listening" was a joke. This weaponization of ambiguity is key to #Trump's #propaganda #language. @ddale8
@ddale8 Reupping my old piece on some features of Trump's propaganda language, including strategic use of ambiguity ("misinterpreted"). It's disarming b/c he does it so brazenly. His "authenticity" is shamelessness in vernacular. Neither this nor Russia is a joke. euromaidanpress.com/2016/10/27/989…
Days after Wikileaks’ dump, Trump was impressed & wanted more. Listen to his breathy “everything” immediately before the ask—not a joke—to Russia: “how little respect…that they would hack a major party & get everything. It would be interesting to see…RUSSIA IF YOU’RE LISTENING”

#Trump admin, #GOP: Please stop lying. We have the receipts.

Trump cult: Please stop citing Christian values as you support this cruelty. You make a mockery of the religion you claim to fervently follow. You know dang well this isn't how Jesus wanted us to treat each other.
As one who attended Catholic grade school all 6 years, I had the Bible and Jesus' words drilled into my brain. What the zealot "Christians" are espousing as religious values on people who are "different" than you - immigrants, LGBTQ, etc. - is a far departure from The Word.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
