If you think GOP Senators will vote GUILTY, think again:

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said he will not even read the transcripts released by impeachment investigators. Graham’s refusal to read the transcript came after Graham demanded the House release full transcripts from the closed-door depositions. Graham also told Axios that he would support Trump’s impeachment if he saw that the president “was engaging in a quid pro quo” outside of his July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, which is exactly what Gordon Sondland, the ambassador to the EU, confirmed this week. But Graham won't support impeachment, after all.

Asked about Sondland revising his testimony to explicitly say that hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to Ukraine was blocked to force a public announcement of the investigation over the course of numerous meetings, Graham replied, “Well, that’s his opinion.”

Graham proceeded to suggest that Sondland, a millionaire hotel developer who donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration before being installed in his post, was just a government “bureaucrat.”

Another impeachable offense: In order to raise his approval rating with voters, Trump wants to pardon guilty-as-hell soldiers convicted of murder.

Defense Secretary Mark Esper will urge President Donald Trump not to dismiss or change the sentences of service members facing war crimes allegations, CNN has learned.

Trump ordered a review of charges against Army Lt. Clint Lorance and Army Green Beret Maj. Matt Golsteyn, and is reportedly considering restoring the rank of Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher, according to a Monday report on "Fox & Friends," the President's favorite morning show. With Veterans Day approaching on Nov. 11th, Fox News reported that Trump could make an announcement about the three men within a week.

That report from Fox surprised top Pentagon officials and galvanized them to take swift action to head off the President, administration officials said.

Already this year, the U.S. has withdrawn from the 1987 Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty, which obliged the U.S. and the Soviet Union to destroy all of their ground-launched ballistic and cruise missiles with flight ranges between 500 and 5,500 kilometers. Whereas previous administrations have largely sought to sustain arms control agreements, Trump has shown no affinity for international pacts. Having abandoned the Paris Agreement on climate change, the Iran nuclear agreement and the INF treaty, his string of broken legacy accords now appears likely to stretch further.

By all means - dogpile on the stupid.

Why should I be OUTRAGED ?

This is one of two criteria I'll use to evaluable candidates for my next VOTE. No outrage required.

A billion flies eat shit.

And here are three of them.

]Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. comes from a military state. It's where I did my basic training. If he lose the military's confidence he'll start singing a new tune a moment later.

evaluable? Lord of the Flies and lead shit-eater....has a nice ring to it.
The smartest one in the room resorts to such low-budget responses, instead of
using her grand intellect to lead the billion flies to greater heights.

The media has much to learn from the likes of you. Pity they don't know squat
about how to run a news outlet.

Attorney General Declined Trump Request to Declare Nothing Illegal in Ukraine Call

President Trump asked Attorney General William P. Barr to hold a news conference stating that no laws were broken in his call with Ukraine’s president. Mr. Barr declined.

.html


President Trump wanted Attorney General William P. Barr to hold a news conference declaring that the commander in chief had broken no laws during a phone call in which he pressed his Ukrainian counterpart to investigate a political rival, though Barr ultimately declined to do so, people familiar with the matter said.

It is unclear why Trump has not fired Attorney General Barr over his insubordination toward the President, but it might be the same situation as with Attorney General Jeff Session: Trump is waiting until after the Nov 3, 2020 election before he boots out Barr.

I see that the goddamn liar is denying everything: Trump denies asking Attorney General William Barr to defend his Ukraine call in news conference

ukraine-call.html


If Congress can find witnesses to testify that Trump is lying, that is another impeachable offense. But, all too obviously, no GOP Senator will vote GUILTY, so the whole point of impeaching Trump is moot.

My favorite hobbyhorse, Trump's tax cheating, does not require a vote of Senators. If the House of Representatives find that Trump underpaid, Trump won't be able to wiggle out of paying, but he can delay until he is either dead or runs out of tax court appeals. He won't voluntarily pay, I predict. He will fight to the death. Or move to Florida, to continue the fight in a Southern Federal Court, which might be more likely than a New York Federal Court to allow his lawyers to delay.
