Parkhomenko on Malaria
excerpt from Parkhomenko's daily email....
Note: Nope. No way. Not gonna do it. Yeah, were at it early today because we are not taking any hint of a lecture about decency from a first lady who was a birther. Who wore an I dont care do u? jacket to visit children who had been separated from their parents by her husbands cruelty. Who has said nothing as her husband has attacked and abused countless Americans. We are more likely to listen to a lecture on cleanliness and godliness from a huge steaming pile of Satans shit than we are to entertain even one second of manners lessons from the first family of crime, abuse and endless degradation.
So heres the deal, Melanoma: When your husband apologizes for calling Stormy Daniels horseface, well apologize. When he says hes sorry for saying the women who credibly accused him of assault werent attractive enough to attack, we will too. When he apologizes to Lisa Page, Greta Thunberg, the Khans
ya know what -- we were about to list all the people Trump has insulted and attacked and then we remembered we werent writing something as long as a Russia novel (we stole the Russian novel part of that joke from New Girl). You get the point. Sermon over. And we really dont care. Do u?
Bet it's fun in the Conway house
https://twitter.com/gtconway3d/status/1201588655204241415?s=20Anyone see Randy Weber on Cuomo? R-TX What a fucking idiot.
He knew zero about anything. But kept repeating the meme about Ukraine being corrupt (Trump's main defense theme). Cuomo was great just nailing him with each lie and each ignorant comment.
If you get a chance and you are on Twitter...send him a lovely message. @TXRandy14
Twitter response:
Come on folks we need to kick the shit out of these mouth-breathing idiots - start with Randy Webber....

Good morning. There are 342 days until the presidential election. Real poll numbers and Trumps made-up poll numbers, we get a list of possible charges for Rudy and a judge says McGahn must testify but dont expect to see McGahn testify.
Note: We really love dogs around here. We are dog people. So like any decent person, we were thrilled to see Conan the hero military dog at the White House yesterday. In fact, we were so happy about it, we think Conan should get a press pass. Because even though the dog didnt speak, it was somehow tougher on Trump than the rest of the White House press corps has been to date. There are of course notable exceptions like Jim and Brian and Abby and April. But consider how long ago we found out that Stephen Miller emailed articles from VDARE, and then ask yourselves how many times Trump has been asked about it. Or his endless obsession with Obama. Or the more than 10,000 lies hes told the American people. We get that its a hard job. But like most jobs, it gets a lot harder when you dont try. Were not going to go off the deep end and start calling these folks enemies of the people or any crazy shit like that. Were just going to humbly suggest that spending a whole day on the gender of a dog when democracy is sliding into the ocean makes you look like shitty reporters who have absolutely no business at the White House. Just like the president.
Note two: Last night, Tucker Carlson slipped and told the truth and told his viewers that when it comes to the war between Ukraine and Russia, he is rooting for Russia. While he came back at the end of the show to insist that he was joking, we know the truth. We know what side youre on, Tucker. But weve always known. Not hard to see why Glenn Greenwald is such a fan. More: Washington Post
Note three: Just a reminder that were taking a Turkey Day break Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Part of it is we want to enjoy a little holiday rest. And part of it is were bracing for physical violence and subsequent recovery time if all these cliches about racist family members at holidays turn out to be true.
Numbers
While Trump spent the weekend telling Americans that support for impeachment was dropping like a rock, it pains us to inform you that he was lying. We finally got some new numbers this morning, and CNN shows that support for impeachment has remained steady with gains in some key areas. While the headline is that the numbers havent changed after the hearings (50/43 percent believe Trump should be impeached and removed from office, which is the same it was last month). But consider, as John Harwood did, where we were earlier this year. In April, those same numbers were at 37/59. And women seem to be moving. In the new poll, women support impeachment and removal 61-34. But hey, its not like the Republican Party has been having any issues with women, right? As long as theres a Fox News, we dont expect the numbers to move much from here. And wed much rather have our numbers and our set of facts than the bullshit theyre limping to the barn with. Were proud of how House Democrats have handled this, and weve got their backs. More: CNN
Incest not on the list
Yeah, we were surprised too. But we were still kinda shocked to see how long the list of charges is that federal prosecutors are considering when it comes to ol Rudy. WSJ scooped yesterday that subpoenas to Rudys associates lay out a rather long naughty list, including obstruction of justice, money laundering, conspiracy to defraud the U.S., making false statements, FARA violations, donating foreign money, straw-man donations and doing his own cousin. Were kidding about the last one, and man oh man does that list not need any additions. But hes been handling it well by doing a series of interviews in which he demonstrates for the world to see that he is a gargoyle with a series of screws loose. We sure do hope Rudy gets to see the inside of a jail cell. More: Washington Post
Testify!
Former White House counsel Don McGahn must testify in front of Congress, a judge ruled Monday, declaring in a 120-page opinion that Trump is not a king. Trumps loyal subjects were of course furious to hear this, so DOJ filed an appeal and the hope in Trumpland is that the Supreme Court will decide that Trump is, in fact, a king. While this ruling is good news, we dont expect to ever see McGahn or Bolton or Mulvaney or any of these other creeps to testify. We hope there will be consequences, but Bill Barr has ignored the law repeatedly and nobody in Washington seems to really care all that much. More: CNN

Anyone thinking about a new kitchen?
Building a house. The kitchen is all I care about . Absolutely must be a private haven and have a TV with MSNBC on. Stayed in a rental with an open plan and you couldn't hear yourself think. And as you bang around, the TV in the adjoining space gets turned up louder, and people talk louder.
Can you tell, I'm a "NO open-plan advocate" ?
Love this kitchen..Except for the spaces under counters. I know, supposed to make it look more like furniture - but all I can think about is having to clean under there.
Monday ruling on freedom to speak to House!
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-impeachment-witnesses-idUSKBN1XY093Legal experts say U.S. court ruling on White House counsel could encourage witnesses to talk in impeachment probe
(Reuters) - A court ruling expected on Monday could give cover to former national security advisor John Bolton and other administration officials to cooperate in the impeachment inquiry against U.S. President Donald Trump, legal experts said.
U.S. District Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson in Washington said she would rule by Monday in a lawsuit by a U.S. House of Representatives committee seeking to compel former White House Counsel Don McGahn to testify in the probe.
Brown Jackson, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, suggested during oral arguments in October that she would rule in favor of the House. The Trump administration has argued that the U.S. Constitution does not give Congress power to compel testimony from senior members of the executive branch.
A judge rejected a similar argument in 2008 in a fight over a subpoena issued to former President George W. Bushs White House counsel.
On CNN's show on trump lies and Impeachment now, they said Nixon
