This is the greatest own-goal in the history of television.

I can't believe the congressman tweeted this out himself.
Yes, all the experts think that this theory Trump is pushing, that Ukraine intervened against him in 2016, is baseless nonsense.

And yes, they also agree that Trump's efforts to get Ukraine to dig up dirt on his political rivals in the 2020 election is wrong.

Uh ... good point?
You can hear the music playing him off at the end. Maybe Hannity's producer, at the very least, understood what was going wrong there.

WARNING: New avatar photo. Approach with caution.
This comes from Ricardo Barros, who is fantastic. Highly recommended.

This was the other option, but it has a bit of a "disappointed vice principal" vibe to it.

Ah yes, as everyone knows, when House Democrats began their impeachment proceedings against Richard Nixon, it was universally accepted that they had (checks notes) "the goods" on him.

Yes, yes, that's *definitely* what happened back then.
I mean, let's just review the evidence.

As you can plainly see... Wait, wait, that's not it.

Here's the tweet I was looking for -- aw, dammit.

Blackmun's papers are phenomenal. In addition to these assessments of attorneys and the oral arguments, he also kept notes on the private deliberations of his colleagues and even scraps of paper passed between them in court.
If you want to take a look at some of them, Lee Epstein at @WUSTL has some of them in a terrific digital archive: epstein.wustl.edu/blackmun.php?p…
@WUSTL These deliberations are incredibly private -- no clerks, just the nine justices -- and it's rare to get a peek into the process.

Douglas had kept notes, but they were quick scribbles that are often hard to decipher. Blackmun created pre-made forms that he filled out in detail.

Why aren't Americans taking about the foreign influence in the US government that continues to send our men and woman to fight immoral wars?

#Trump when he campaigned for president, before he decided to let Adelson fund his campain!

Adelson was one of the biggest donors to Trumps presidential campain. Adelsons company saved 670 million dollars from the massive republican tax break. Adelson did not support the Iran deal & wanted the US embassy moved to Jerusalem.

Adelson has a direct line to #potus!

Adelson has private in-person meetings & phone conversations about once a month with #Trump!

Adelson used his access to move the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and cut aid to Palestinians.

TRUMP KEEPS BUILDING THE WALL AS PUNDITS FLOUNDER!
I'm watching listening to Pundits & YouTubers I follow all get it wrong. They get caught up in the bureaucracy & endless debates of Whataboutism.
"What if the Next President just declares a National Emergency & declares (X)!
Read that above Tweet. Trump ok'd a 115 Mile Bollard Barrier in Texas.
Because he's been cleared as having the LEGAL AUTHORITY to do it. He's also signed off on 100's more Miles in NM & AZ with ZERO input from Congress.
Have you heard any of that?
Probably not.
It's all a Dog & Pony Show. All the caterwauling from Left & RIGHT about Trump declaring an Emergency.
He HAS the authority & it will pass muster.
This "Brinksmanship" Gambit is happening as FOX NEWS tries to tell us the Majority of Americans think Trump will be defeated in 2020

TRUMP COMMITTED AT LEAST ONE FELONY according to his own Justice Dept in sentencing memos filed against Michael Cohen by the SDNY yesterday.

Cohen broke campaign finance law
“in coordination with and
AT THE DIRECTION OF” Trump.

Amazingly, that wasn’t the only bombshell... 1)
Mueller can produce evidence that Paul Manafort lied to fed investigators about his contacts with a Russian Spy and Trump officials, according to sentencing memos filed against Manafort.

THIS IMPLICATES TRUMP AND FAMILY MEMBERS IN A CONSPIRACY.
2)
#THEORY
Trump likely perjured himself in written answers to the Special Counsel’s questions last month, assuming he had the cover of Manafort’s lies.

Mueller waited to reveal that he had the receipts of Manafort’s lies, giving Trump rope to hang himself.

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.

So #Trump is holding a news conference in about five minutes. I’ll be watching (and probably tweeting). Follow/mute at will!
Okay, #Trump has started speaking. He's already slurring. He's already made a joke about "a lot of......MEDIA.".

This does not bode well.
#Trump is now saying that China wants to "see me lose an election because they've never been challenged before."

It's not just China, pal.

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
