Trump claims over and over that his call with Zelensky was perfect, that everyone knows it was perfect, and that the only bad call was Schiff's fake version of it. And reporters, so far, have not questioned him on this, or in any way indicated Trump is making that all up.
Trump is asked what he wanted Ukraine to do about the Bidens, and Trump immediately starts talking about how Europe should give more money to Ukraine.
Trump never answers the question about what he wanted Zelensky to do about Biden, so the reporter tries again. Trump refuses to answer again. And the reporter KEEPS GOING, finally!
I've been watching Trump press conferences for two and a half years hoping a member of the press would *finally* do this.

And then, after Trump berates him for a while, the reporter gives in and agrees to move on.

Sounds like Volker's testimony yesterday was a pretty incredible display of gymnastics. nytimes.com/2019/10/04/us/…
Volker, in testimony: I never urged Ukraine to investigate Biden.

Volker, responding to a text in August about whether 'we' want Zelensky to give a press conferencing announcing Ukraine was investigating Biden: "Yes, I'm hoping we can convince him to do that!"
Volker, in testimony: This was all Giuliani's idea, it was Giuliani who wanted Ukraine to make a statement about Burisma and 2016. I convinced Ukraine not to.

Volker, in response to Ukraine's proposal to name Burisma and 2016 as investigation targets: "Sounds great!"

Let's see what Fox thinks is important tonight! I turned it on in the middle of a story on AOC (she wants to bring back Jim Crow apparently), and they moved immediately from that to a Rashida Tlaib story.
Now we've got a long sit-down interview with a guy who has picked up trash in Maryland and California, to tell us about how much trash he picked up, and how cleaning up trash doesn't need big government since he was able to do it without big government.
Next up: a game show between two random Fox News hosts, I think from the morning shows?, who are competing to win a t-shirt or something.

I have no idea what's going on with the State IG story or who sent that packet to Pompeo, but what I really want to know is how many envelopes they had to throw out before they finally got the address right.
The "urgency" part is indeed baffling, but I'm confused about Raskin's dismissal of this packet as having nothing to do with Trump. Because it seems like it has a lot to do with Giuliani's activities in Ukraine.
Tweets of docs from the packet have now been deleted, not sure why. But they showed emails between Giuliani's client Lev Parnas, the two attorneys who were working with Giuliani to get dirt on Biden, Toensing and diGenova, and Hill reporter John Solomon. thedailybeast.com/joe-digenova-a…

How to take down your own front runner for your party's nomination for President:

Step 1: start a new fake scandal against Trump based on an anonymous whistle blower

Step 2: Trump suddenly holds Biden in front of himself

Step 3: HA HA HA!

Because their strategy to remove Trump from office by getting a Special Counsel appointed to find evidence to use for impeachment so utterly failed, Democrats frantically searched for the past several months trying to find something that could replace it.
It now seems Democrats think they have at last found a real scandal they can use to move forward with impeachment hearings in the House.

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

#Trump en meeting dans le Montana suggère son approbation au représentant Gianforte pour avoir violenté et cassé les lunettes de @JacobsBen journaliste du @guardian. En pleine polémique sur la tribune du @nytimes rappel: pour #Trump, c'est 1 guerre à mort contre le #journalisme.
2) Et dans le même meeting, #Trump a accusé le @nytimes de haute trahison pour avoir publié la tribune anonyme contre lui. Il n'a cessé de faire huer la #presse par 1 salle chauffée à blanc...
3) Cette "radicalisation" du discours de #Trump sur la #presse interroge sur l'avenir des relations entre citoyens US et #journalisme, à court terme (la campagne électorale à venir n'est-elle pas celle de tous les dangers pour des reporters à qui il accroche 1 cible dans le dos?)

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
