Don the Con is going to be run out of the White House

[malaise]

one way or another. Take that to your Thanksgiving table, your Christmas dinner or the bank.
When the Tweetys of our planet are outraged that a man who has never met a dedicated and talented civil servant attacks her in the middle of his own impeachment inquiry, his jig is up.

Good riddance you evil fucking monster -you vile, venal, corrupt, crude, uncouth, childish
ignorant fool who lacks decency, control, a single fucking iota of empathy, taste, morality and other human values. Fuck you you fucking fuckwit.

I wish you all that you wish for anyone who has exposed you for what you are.

And I'm just warming up - off for our morning walk

[PJMcK]

1. An epic rant, my friend!

Enjoy you weekend!

[malaise]

37. Same to you

[calimary]

2. BOOM!

I’m right there with ya, my friend.

Loathsome Orange Fuck. Can’t wait to get rid of him.

He needs a nice orange jumpsuit. And sooner than later. Before he fucks over the entire planet.

[malaise]

3. You know what was great - that Adam Schiff showed him

that he can use the technology in ways the Con never contemplated. That real time exposure was jaw dropping and delish!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

15. that part hasn't been reported enough

TrumPutin's twitter attacks are usually amplified by tv; this time the response to his attack got more amplification because Adam Schiff made use of the live tv coverage on behalf of Trump's target. That's significant, IMO.

Millions watching the hearing were introduced, dramatically, to the underhandedness of the Con.

[FM123]

27. Yes!

That was definitely a mic drop moment....

[3catwoman3]

53. And, a nice prison hair cut.

Shave his ridiculous looking hair right down to the scalp. Can't risk any vermin living in there.

[DBoon]

102. If they got rid of the vermin

There would be nothing left

[calimary]

111. Or Doral bedbugs maybe?

All the more reason to fumigate the White House and replace all the mattresses and seat cushions after this two-legged vermin leaves.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

95. His jail suit will match

His spray tan.

[NCLefty]

4. "When the Tweetys of our planet are outraged that" --Wait, what Tweetys?

Chris Matthews?

[malaise]

25. Yes

[Ligyron]

5. And take all those boot licking, butt kissing sycophants and that corrupt Cabinet with you.

Let them be educated by the Courts as to how a true public servant should have behaved and then send them off to Graduate school in well guarded facilities for as long as it is determined their continuing education may take.

[malaise]

38. THIS

They may need more prisons for these common criminals

[Mr.Bill]

92. Here's a five letter solution to that problem:

GITMO.

[sprinkleeninow]

97. Now there's a nifty idee! 😁

[Laura PourMeADrink]

6. Like your pep talk M ! But would change

"Tweetys" to "the Chris Wallaces" of the world. Mathews has been disgusted by MF45 for a long time.

[Raster]

8. agree... Mathews has never been for nor supported tRump*...

...I wasn't a big fan of Mathews during the Bush* pResidency, but he's been a solid part of the MSNBC anti-tRump* contingent since tRump*s selection.

[samplegirl]

13. He was a Bush cheerleader

until 9/11! Yes your right Matthews has never been a trump supporter!

[AZ8theist]

87. Tweety was a big Bush supporter AFTER 9/11..

I will never forget after Bush made that speech at the WTC ruins, Tweety blurted out "WE'RE ALL NEOCONS NOW!!!!!!"

At that point, he was dead to me.

Besides, I CAN'T STAND his interview technique of CONSTANT interruption.

[malaise]

39. Tweety was visibly pissed yesterday

He could not bear the thought of a US president attacking someone he had never met in such a manner. Tweety reminds me of folks I know who have deep (but sometimes undeserved respect) for institutions and their office holders

[Laura PourMeADrink]

70. Do you think it mattered that it was HER or would they

Have fired anyone. I didn't realize that the purpose was to create a window (or 30 days) where no one was ambassador. No wonder they pushed her out so quickly. She seemed so passive hard to believe those goons would be afraid and f her. I think his actions with her...firing to commit crime unnoticed is huge. And up there with Biden scam investigation.

[malaise]

74. Remember what she was told

Say something nice about the Con

[malaise]

26. I know Tweety is a never Trumper

but he thinks like many of the moderates

[Sherman A1]

7. Believe it when I see

Not a moment before.

[Pacifist Patriot]

20. That's where I sit.

[bitterross]

21. Same here. I'm a realist.

His base won't think there is anything wrong with attacking a witness in real-time while they are testifying. For them, Trump can literally do no wrong. They are already buying the BS that he didn't really commit a crime. That "everyone does it."

[Cosmocat]

109. He will burn the country down

Before he leaves the white house ...

[PCIntern]

9. Well done...

we need an ADJECTIVAL THREAD wherein we can post adjectives which describe him. Then, after a couple or three days, we synthesize all the posts into one long epic rant. Then it can go viral....

I can see it being reported on Rachel's show, Morning Joe, Anderson Cooper, CBS Sunday Morning...

A guy can dream, can't he??

[malaise]

28. What a great idea

[Wounded Bear]

50. Would probably be too many expletives deleted for Rachel...

she doesn't do crude language. It's kind of cute and endearing, actually.

But for prime time TV, it would be a lot of bleeps and ******'s

[3catwoman3]

56. If you start your wonderful idea of an adjectival thread, count...

...me in.

4 of my most frequent choices are this alliterative grouping - crass, common, crude and coarse

[gab13by13]

10. Yeah but malaise

how do you and Representative Heck really feel? What a way to end the hearing, loved it.

We need to keep an eye on Barr, he just came out with a statement that the impeachment hearings thwart the will of the people. Barr needs to be reminded that Trump lost the popular vote, bigly. Dems need to put more pressure on Barr, he should recuse himself, he should really be impeached.

[Grammy23]

11. I bet we can walk and chew gum at the same time.

Bring on the second impeachment trial. That windbag needs a lesson in justice.

Oh, and I wish I had your confidence, Malaise, that tRump will be run out. He has an awful lot of folks just like him running interference for him. But I guess sooner or later, those of us fed up with all of it can descend on DC with pitchforks and torches to show them we’re serious about running all of them out.

[True Blue American]

12. Right now, though

I think Trump has insulted,intimidated, fired so many people his constant rants have lost their luster.

I understand there will be no more rallies through Christmas. Is Trump running out of paid backers!

If I see that little blonde, long haired girl one more time gonna gag here!

[Wounded Bear]

51. "Is Trump running out of paid backers!"

More likely he's running out of venues willing to accept his credit card only to get stiffed.

[True Blue American]

66. True!

[malaise]

29. Barr should be disbarred

Impeachment is in the constiuttion

[malaise]

40. Yesterday was the 109th anniversary of my favorite aunt's birthday

Wednesday was the 103rd anniversary of my mom's birthday. I could not have asked for more - impeachment inquiry hearings and the utter humiliation and exposure of the Con and ReTHUG.

[DeminPennswoods]

14. The odds of Trump being convicted and removed

are still in his favor, but, jmho, they are slipping.

[Martin Eden]

16. Good rant

I hope your prediction proves correct.

In a sane world this fuckwit could never become president in the first place.

[ClusterFreak]

17. Thank you for your blistering and hilarious bitch slap of Dorito McDouchetard!

Enjoy your walk!

[subana]

18. that was a stupid thing to do!

even for Trump, it was stupid!

[pandr32]

55. There is no bottom for him.

[spanone]

19. A RIGHTEOUS RANT!!!!!

K&R....

[ouija]

22. Don't know

How the Republican Senators can keep up the defense. However, they continue to defy logic so I’m sure they will find a way. Problem for them is any true independent voter is horrified at the enabling of Trump. These are the suburban white educated voters the Republican Party is hemorrhaging at the moment.

[TheCowsCameHome]

23. Just imagine what his enemies must think.

Great rant, my friend. Enjoy your morning walk.

[malaise]

41. Thanks

Was a lovely walk - birds singing, water running into the reservoir - sun slowly rising above the mountains, a gentle breeze and good company. chuckle:

[WinstonSmith4740]

24. C'mon Malaise!

Tell us how you REALLY feel!

[Ohiya]

30. That picture of Gym Rat Jacket-off at the end of the hearings yesterday spoke volumes.

He looked like he was about to cry, and he was wishing he was on the other team. I think there's going to be an increasing amount of buyers remorse!

[malaise]

35. That is the look we'll see when that gym rat is finally cornered

over the abuse of young wrestlers.

[Scotch-Irish]

68. They should hammer on that in the news, too.

He's such a creep.

[Miles Archer]

31. The tweet attacking Yovanovitch was witness intimidation, another impeachable offense

There was talk on MSNBC last night about whether the House will ultimately go for multiple accounts of impeachable offenses, or will roll that tweet into the overall obstruction case.

But make no mistake, it was an impeachable offense.

[malaise]

34. Has he tweeted since then?

[Miles Archer]

65. He's re-tweeted all of the Republican "highlights" from yesterday.

Quoting Limbaugh, Barr, Meadows, basically everything he can hobble together. Calls to "Vote Republican" in LA. Calls to convict his "enemies list" after the Stone conviction. Nothing new, DIRECTLY from him, on impeachment since yesterday.

[True Blue American]

67. Are the networks showing Trump tweets?

[Miles Archer]

69. MSNBC has, don't know about anyone else.

They showed that "attack tweet" quite a few times last night.

[True Blue American]

72. That is fine with me

Shows intimidation. I kno one of the cable shows are refusing to show his Twitter rants but We need that n to be played over nd over.

Nancy said Trump was showing his insecurity. That he knew h was not qualified.

Just what we need, The Peter Principle in the WhiteHouse!

[badhair77]

32. And good morning to you, malaise..

Just reading your rant makes me feel better. 😊

[malaise]

33. LOL

[badhair77]

85. Feel free to rant again tomorrow.

There’s no shortage of material.

[malaise]

89. Rest assured another DUer will rant

tomorrow

[Mme. Defarge]

36. As they say in French,

Sacré bleu!

Keep those cards ‘n letters comin’!

[malaise]

43. LOL

[H2O Man]

42. Recommended.

The pressures on Donald are building. There are a couple of key things at play here that are of particular interest. Perhaps the most interesting -- at least to me -- is that Stephen Castor recognizes that Trump has engaged in impeachable offenses. There is some growing tensions between him and the dick-dripping known as Gym Jordan. These are becoming more pronounced, especially after Trump's foolish tweet yesterday during the hearings.

I am not saying Castor is a good guy. But he is intelligent, and he recognizes that he is being asked to captain a ship of fools.

[malaise]

44. You know I always pay attention to your observations

[H2O Man]

45. Okay, now I have

to add more! Even though the House republicans appear to be a single, unified hive, there are actually some divisions within their group. These can be best described as the differences between the liars club and the rabies pack. Neither group would have picked Castor as their top gun, but instead hired him to bridge the two groups.

Castor's original goal was to show that the Democrats had reached the conclusion that Trump was guilty of sin before they heard all of the evidence. We all remember an infamous "rush to judgement" defense in the biggest criminal case of the 1990s. From a legal standpoint, this can be a valid defense tactic.

The problem is that the rabies pack wants to viciously attack each and every witness the Democrats call to testify. And Castor isn't willing to do that. We saw that yesterday, when he recognized the folly of attacking a dignified lady who was obviously telling the truth. The rabies pack had loved Trump's fucking stupid move by tweet, and were upset that Castor refused to follow his lead.

The liars club recognized that the republican party is experiencing a wee bit of trouble with women in general, and informed, educated women in particular. Castor had told them it would be bad to attack a well-informed, educated, honest woman -- one that Rudy G & Co had not only undercut, but were willing to see harmed if necessary ("See how corrupt Ukraine is?" ) -- in this setting.

Yesterday was a historic day.

[malaise]

46. Love the description

These can be best described as the differences between the liars club and the rabies pack.

The Con's tweet mashed up their prepared plans - Schiff is a genius

[H2O Man]

47. In decades to come,

university classes will focus on Chairman Schiff and Marie Yovanovitch and their roles. We are watching global history unfold.

[malaise]

48. Seriously that was a moment to remember

Both were great

[H2O Man]

60. My 90-year old aunt

was on facebook during the hearing. She ranks very high among the most intelligent people I've ever met. She despises Trump, and was posting some hilarious things. I think it is fair to say that older women in the US, who have experienced bullying from shitheads like Trump throug the decades, are a lot less likely to vote for him if he does make it to 2020.

[malaise]

62. That's so good to hear

90 year old aunt on Facebook.
His uncouth behavior must disgust her

[Eyeball_Kid]

64. A word of warning:

There aren't any conditions that I know of that warrants a counting of chickens before they hatch. If Trumpy prevails, it is HE who writes the history. We won't ever have a true accounting of this sordid time line. And Trumpy is an acquittal away from writing his own history. We know what a consummate liar he is, but all dictators are intent on shaping their legacy into comic-book heroism.

Trumpy has NO boundaries. He is savage, cruel, hateful, vengeful, and he loves to see his opponents suffer. AND, he is the most powerful person on Earth. It's very hard to beat evil monsters like this. He will destroy everything that obstructs his ever-expanding need for more power. THAT'S WHO HE IS.

The weight of US' place in the world is squarely on the shoulders of the Senate GOPers. If they acquit, Trumpy prevails. And if he prevails, he'll make certain that he will not lose his re-election bid. If necessary, he will construct a pretense for cancelling the next general election. He's capable of anything, and he refuses to accept defeat. The Senate GOPers must separate themselves from the Party of Trumpy, or he will swallow them whole.

On a slightly positive note, we are not hearing any proud statements of support from Senate GOPers for Trumpy. They are noticeably quiet.

[grantcart]

84. Don't forget the rock operas that will be written to celebrate and make us laugh

Then there will be graduate courses that focus on the rock operas that document the self destruction of Trump.

Then there will be a Netflix series about a high school teacher that tries to make his fortune writing a rock opera about Trump. He spends an entire summer in character as Trump to be able to write Trumpian style dialogue but never comes out and establishes a crime family in Greenland trying to buy the entire island "Breaking Mad"

[Wawannabe]

94. ...

[Wounded Bear]

49. From your keyboard to God's Twitter account, fellow traveler...

[Drahthaardogs]

52. You seem to think the GOP cares...they don't

I think he will be voted out, but they will never convict him.

[malaise]

54. The Con cares

He cannot handle impeachment

[Drahthaardogs]

58. I hope you are right

But I think he is making money being President. He's going to have to be drug out

[cwydro]

59. Yeah, not counting my chickens quite yet.

We’ll see.

[coeur_de_lion]

57. Someone will probably pardon him

I want him in prison. But as long as he is gone I don't really care.

The evidence keeps dropping, and people who have been silenced for years will keep speaking out.

It just keeps getting worse for him and they won't be able to justify reelecting him.

There will be a celebration -- like no celebration ever before in history to use one of the con's superlatives.

What a happy day it will be when he finally leaves. Champagne, happy tears. It will be like the end of WWII.

[mr_lebowski]

61. Fuck you, you fucking fuck ... Sage Words ... that we unfortunately have cause to use too often (nt)

[Yeehah]

63. That way will be the election

The complicit, corrupt republicans in the Senate will never convict.

[Hekate]

108. I no longer trust that process when it comes to DT. Hillary got 3 million more votes than he did...

And don't say it was the Electoral College. Jill Stein sliced into Hillary's margin in just those critical states -- only those critical states, and then there was sabotage from Russia, voter suppression tactics, New Jim Crow. It took a lot of cheating to get Trump to the White House.

He has to be forced out of office before then, or we are lost.

Consider this about his character, however: he has a lifelong history of jumping ship when things go sour for him. Bankruptcy after bankruptcy after bankruptcy in the business world. He has no honor, he has no compunction about not paying his debts nor about not leaving people in the lurch.

If he starts thinking that wrecking the US is just like another bankruptcy, that might help him decide to leave. Being POTUS is certainly not what he expected, and no fun for him any more.

But he needs an excuse. How about his health? What the devil was he doing motoring over to Walter Reed late Saturday afternoon? Hmmmm.

[Blue Owl]

71. Stick a fork in that rotten, bloated, toxic turkey

n/t

[emmaverybo]

103. Excellent. "Bloated toxic turkey!"

[Heartstrings]

73. He's the AOAA....

Asshole of All Assholes!

[malaise]

75. I like

[brewens]

76. It's not every day you see a criminal suspect intimidate a witness on national television.

Let's see him get out of that one! I know it's not a criminal trial, but same principal.

[lpbk2713]

77. And the entire WH will have to be fumigated.

And then it will have to be thoroughly checked for
bugs he left behind for the rethugs and for Putin.

[intrepidity]

78. You left out "wanker"

And a few others

[malaise]

79. I was just warming up

[Skittles]

80. America is stronger than Donald Fucking Trump

I truly believe that.

[malaise]

81. THIS

and way more intelligent

[sprinkleeninow]

99. This, and YES WE ARE. 🇺🇸

[panader0]

82. A slow joy is growing in me.

Things are swinging back now. I can breathe better.
The fool made the whole nation ill. It's getting better.

[malaise]

83. It hit me a few minutes ago that first man Adam Schiff

and Dems now control the narrative - the latest breaking news did it.

Speaker P is now publicly laughing at the corrupt fool. She's right - he's really out of his depth.

[marieo1]

86. Agreement

I really appreciate you telling the world all of our feelings about this idiot that is in the White House. Everytime I see his ugly mug, I could vomit. How can such a disgusting ignoramus be a president of anything? Thank you!!

[Peacetrain]

88. From your lips to Gods' ears malaise!!!

[book_worm]

90. He'll be run out in November, 2020 and the corrupt GOP Senate will let him off

[zentrum]

91. Fuck Yes!

[Wawannabe]

93. Malaise

That was the most beautiful rant!

[questionseverything]

96. i hate to be the fly in the ointment but

as much as I want trump gone, I fear pence is more dangerous

[sprinkleeninow]

98. From your keyboard to the Supernatural Inbox❣

Malaise...💌 🥂

[sprinkleeninow]

100. I wanted to say engorged blowhard, but I dunno...🤔

[malaise]

106. Say it

[sprinkleeninow]

110. O-kay. I do say.

😌

[Joinfortmill]

101. Well said.

[duforsure]

104. You'e right Malaise

He soon will be running out, but before he does I expect him to threaten this country and the American people a lot more using Barr and others to terrorize us because he's losing support quickly. He'll make accusations against former presidents trying to do like he does, claim others are as bad for a diversion from his crimes. He'll do things to intentionally hurt people because he's losing support.

[malaise]

107. He can try

but those that really matter have him cornered

[Hekate]

105. What you said, my friend
