"Democrats should be champing at the bit to hold more hearings like this one, rather than fulminating and hand-wringing..."

slate.com/news-and-polit…
"The main thrust of Berke’s very effective questioning was to demonstrate that Lewandowski, contrary to his testimony, knew that what Trump had asked him to do was wrong—and possibly criminal—which is why he concealed it from the public..."

slate.com/news-and-polit…
"Democrats should take a lesson... It’s not just that there is still such a thing as truth, and that truth will out, but that impeachment hearings can indeed be quite effective—so long as a professional is doing the questioning."

"The president used Pence to tell Zelensky that US aid was still being withheld while demanding action on corruption. At that time — following Trump’s call with Zelenksy — Ukraine probably understood action on corruption to include investigating Biden"

washingtonpost.com/world/national…
This is a very bad look:

"Officials close to Pence insist that he was unaware of Trump’s efforts to press Zelensky for damaging information about Biden."

But...
"One of Pence’s top advisers was on the July 25 call and Pence should have had access to the transcript within hours"
He didn't "register" it?

"Officials close to Pence contend that he traveled to Warsaw for a meeting with Zelensky on Sept. 1 probably without having read — or at least fully registered — the transcript of Trump’s July 25 call with the leader of Ukraine."

"Mr. Trump has quietly been urging a deal to reduce tensions between Ukraine and Russia that would pave the way for a removal of Western sanctions on Moscow, long a goal of Mr. Putin’s."

nytimes.com/2019/09/28/us/…
"Mr. Trump himself hinted that was his goal when asked about Mr. Zelensky two weeks after the July 25 call. “I think he’s going to make a deal with President Putin, and he will be invited to the White House,” Mr. Trump told reporters."

nytimes.com/2019/09/28/us/…
Just that line alone, from an American president:

“I think he’s going to make a deal with President Putin, and he will be invited to the White House.”

Let that sink in for a second.

"Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) says he’s not inclined to support judicial nominee Steven Menashi, a major blow for an already controversial court pick."

“I’m real doubtful,” Kennedy told HuffPost...

“My thought is, look, if he’ll treat a United States senator the way he treated us, I wonder how he would treat the people.”

@soledadobrien "Drop the thieving lying bastard because it's gonna cost"

Umm @soledadobrien question

#FoxNews #CNN & #MSNBC don't broadcast OTA using #FCC controlled radio spectrum

Do they still have need of an @FCC license?

I ask because Obscenity Rules yet HBO

@soledadobrien @FCC Those of us of a certain age can remember the earliest days when The Divine Miss M aired on HBO. It rattled people. It blew away #CommunityStandards to hear @BetteMidler use profanity. And her #NakedButt

1. Here's a thread about what history can teach us about the ways racial terrorists build sympathy and support for their movements by using distinctive, yet also seemingly innocuous language.
2. The present day examples are the NZ and SD murderers, whose manifestos were filled with statements that seem bland enough. "White genoc*de is bad." "It's ok to be wh*te." "Cultur*l Marxism is dangerous." etc.
3. It's easy to imagine a scenario in which a college student says one of these things in class. What should the prof do? Is this person signalling that they're a white nationalist? Or are they innocently repeating phrases they've heard in conservative media? Hard to say for sure

Yes, I think this.

I think the GOP sees Russia (among other things) as the savior of the white race:

More here:
terikanefield-blog.com/category/polit…
I also believe that the GOP is working with Russia because they want a Putin-style oligarchy. They're being destructive on purpose because they want to tear down our institutions. terikanefield-blog.com/putin-and-trum…
I've also been arguing that the GOP accepts Trump's lies because they know they're destructive.

Some of the base probably believe the lies. The more sophisticated members knowingly embrace lies.

I wrote about that here: slate.com/news-and-polit…
Cohen talked about that yesterday.

This is perjury, plain and simple.

Feel free to tag your Senator in the replies and tell him/her what you think of the @GOP burying the record of—and rushing to confirm—this extremely crooked nominee.
As the incontrovertible evidence of #Kavanaugh’s perjury in 2004, 2006 and 2018 piles up, it’s hard to argue with @brianefallon’s suggestion that #Democrats make a criminal referral to the Justice Department. #NoSCOTUSVote
“By his own standard, Kavanaugh should clearly be impeached,” writes Lisa Graves in @slate. Graves wrote some of the stolen memos that Kavanaugh lied to the Senate about. (via @maddow) #ImpeachKavanaugh #BlockBrett

Not sure why Senator Leahy's exchange with Kavanaugh isn't bigger news. Issue isn't only that Kavanuagh appears to have to lied to Congress, repeatedly, but may have aided criminal activity directed against US Senators.
2/An illicit conspiracy to use materials stolen fr Democrats for GOP political gain is at the very core of the Mueller investigation. Given that it sure appears Kavanaugh was involved in a previous effort to do just that - and cover it up too - makes his nomination mindboggling.
3/Sure appears Trump, who is under investigation for illicit conspiracy to use stolen Dem materials for GOP political gain, has chosen man to be swing judge on his case who himself participated in previous conspiracy to use stolen Dem materials for GOP political gain.
