Trump Bills Irish Cops $100,000 For The Honor Of Protecting Him
Police officers in Ireland just received a bill from Trump’s Doonberg
resort after they were called in to provide extra security for the resident. His golf course is now billing them $100,000 for things like
tea, coffee, and packs of snacks that they “provided” to the officers
who were protecting the resident.

Matt Gaetz Leads Moron Brigade To Disrupt Impeachment Hearings
Dozens of Republican Representatives, led by Matt Gaetz, attempted to
storm the impeachment hearings on Wednesday, creating a massive security
breach by filming the sensitive information with their cell phones.
These Republicans are creating a spectacle of the entire impeachment inquiry by falsely claiming that they are being shut out of the process. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

MASSIVE SURGE In Approval For Impeachment!!! Watch Mitch McConnell & Matt Whitaker Both HURT TRUMP!
A poll released yesterday by Quinnipiac found that a full 55 percent of
respondents approve of the impeachment inquiry, while a dwindling 43
percent opposed it. Last week those numbers were 51 percent to 45
percent.
But the numbers representing the group that I believe are the most critical in the public opinion sphere were also the ones that saw the most dramatic movement. You see, support for Donald Trump’s Impeachment among independents jumped 8 points (in a single week).
And here is what is very well fueling the rapid change related to how the American people feel about Impeaching and removing this clear and present danger from office. It is a combination of who is coming to the defense of Donald Trump and those who seem to be running in the other direction.

Note To Republicans On Impeachment Hearings: C'mon. We All Know What Happened
Posted by Rude One
Jesus, Republicans. It's embarrassing. It's really fucking embarrassing now. Every time one of you appears on some goddamned news network or another, opening your mouth holes to diarrhea out some absurd defense of Donald Trump, it's just embarrassing. As it would be if you went on TV and literally shit out of your mouths. At least then you might get some pity, a kind of "Oh, poor thing, he's sick" or "God, don't let that happen to me." But in the figurative case, it's just fucking pathetic.
See, we all know what happened. We all know that Trump was extorting Ukraine to get them to go along with weird-ass conspiracy theories he's had skull fucked into him by a constant feed of Fox "news" and its devolved stepchild, One American News, talk radio depravity, and whatever hell-creature Stephen Miller is. This involved both military aid to Ukraine, as well as a promised meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky. We all know that Rudy Giuliani is just a savage ghoul in it for however much he can line his filthy pockets. And, hell, if he can pretend he has power, too, and might be able to stick it to Hillary? That's just a bonus. In other words, one vile, mentally-imbalanced shit heel enabled another vile, mentally-imbalanced shit heel, and, together with all their lickspittles and whores, they sought to undermine the United States. All that we need to find out now is what levels of evil, greed, stupidity, and treachery are involved. And how much Russia needed to push anyone to do this shit.
I mean, c'mon, look at the opening statement by William Taylor, delivered today to the House Intelligence Committee. The whole thing is Trump and Giuliani attempting to push Ukraine to say that it was investigating the DNC server or the oil company Hunter Biden was getting paid by, Burisma, while Taylor and others were desperately trying to get Trump to knock it the fuck off. Here's what Taylor said on page 7 about the hold on the $400 million in military aid: "My understanding was that the Secretaries of Defense and State, the CIA Director, and the National Security Advisor sought a joint meeting with theresident to convince
him to release the hold."
You got that? Everyone who knew anything about Ukraine knew it needed the promised funds. But they couldn't get that meeting because Trump was too busy watching TV, tweeting, and holding his rallies of the damned. No wonder Rick Perry was involved. He was almost the only cabinet member who thought this was a good idea.
Then there's the whole side of this that's fucking nuts, that crazy-ass John Bolton was the comparative voice of reason. Bolton didn't want Trump to talk on the phone to Zelensky because he thought it "would be a disaster." At one point in July, Bolton and the regular foreign policy team butted right up against EU Ambassador and Trump taint sniffer Gordon Sondland and his shadow foreign policy team, confusing the shit out of the Ukrainians they were in talks with: "Bolton...wanted to talk about security, energy, and reform...Sondland...wanted to talk about the connection between a White House meeting and Ukrainian investigations."
How willfully blind do you have to be to think none of this was fucked up? It wasn't about uncovering corruption. There's a shit-ton of corruption involving Ukrainians and other Americans that Trump or anyone never fucking mentioned. And the DNC server? What the hell? What the hell? How is this even a thing anymore?
On July 20, Sondland told Taylor that "he had recommended that Zelensky use the phrase 'I will leave no stone unturned' with regard to the 'investigations'" when Zelensky spoke to Trump. You know who else uses that phrase? Fucking Trump. And he had done so talking about the citizenship question on the census just nine days earlier in a pissy little appearance after the Supreme Court blocked it. So Sondland knows that Trump's a goddamn child who needs to be made to feel smart and special.
The mania with which Trump demanded Zelensky knuckle under to his lunatic conspiracy theories was brazen. Sondland told Taylor that Trump wanted Zelensky "'in a public box' by making a public statement about ordering such investigations." It got so ludicrous that Zelensky asked a pair of visiting U.S. senators if we were still standing by Ukraine. They told him that he "should not jeopardize that bipartisan support [for Ukraine] by getting drawn into U.S. domestic politics." The poor motherfucker went from making fart jokes on Ukrainian variety shows to having to deal with our lunatic leader.
And the most utterly, most reprehenisble part of this? The idea that if they say there was "no quid pro quo," if Republicans repeat "no quid pro quo" over and over, the idiot hordes will believe there was no quid pro quo when the quid pro quo is all there fucking is.
Goddamn, GOP. We all know what went on. Aren't you tired of looking like asses and fools? Or has that just been your identity for so long that you figure why bother changing?
(Note: The attempt to smear Bill Taylor as a "radical bureaucrat," as the White House called him, is beyond laughable. The man worked for Reagan and both Bushes, as well as for Democrats. Step the fuck off on this "radical" and "far-left" bullshit.)

Trump Rebuked For 'Lynching' Comment: He's 'A Violent White Nationalist'
Rutgers Professor Brittany Cooper says she’s ‘deeply offended’ by
Trump’s comparison of being ‘held accountable’ by the impeachment
inquiry, to the ‘spectacular violence of lynching.’
As Trump faces new damning Ukraine evidence, he claims impeachment is like a ‘lynching.’
The comparison drawing wide rebuke from democrats, civil rights leaders and the rare condemnation from many GOP leaders.

Establishment Democrats Panic As Biden Keeps Falling
According to a new report by The New York Times, establishment Democrats
are in full panic mode as Joe Biden continues slipping and is no longer
the front runner for the nomination.
They are asking around to see if there’s someone more friendly to their donors who can take the lead, but the polls show that the public wants someone who is going to shake up the Party and the country.
Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Trump Calls Emoluments Clause “Phony” And He’s Likely Still Running His Businesses
Of all of the parts of the U.S. Constitution, none have been more
trampled on by the Trump administration than the Emoluments Clause
forbidding a resident from enriching themselves while serving.
Trump claimed on Monday that the Emoluments Clause was “phony” and then proceeded to reveal information that he wouldn’t know unless he was still (illegally) running his business. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Eric Trump Says It’s “Sickening” That Kids Use Their Parent’s Names To Get Rich
Eric Trump may be the most tone-deaf person in the United States. During
a recent interview, he said that it was “sickening” to him to see the
children of politicians using their family names to get rich.
Does he not know who he is?
Does he not understand that his entire life has been handed to him solely because of his last name?
Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Mulvaney & Pompeo Expose Donald Trump in Separate Interviews - Republicans Begin to Turn on Trump!
We are witnessing the steady erosion of Donald Trump’s grasp on the
power of his Residency. There still remains a number of steps before
he’s gone - and many of those steps involve the investigatory process
which has only just gotten underway in the House via the official
impeachment inquiry.
Another critical step in the process is to garner some Republican support. So, what's it going to take to sway the public stances of Republicans in Congress? You need to call your Representative and Senators… ESPECIALLY if they are Republicans and tell them you EXPECT them to support the impeachment and removal of Donald Trump from office.
This is, after all, a government of the people, by the people, and for the people!

Trump Jr. Proves How Stupid He Is
"Resident Trump’s two sons, Donald Jr. and Eric, who were born into
wealth and work at a company their grandfather founded, have spent the
last few weeks contending for the title of World’s Least Self-Aware
Person.
First, one of them goes on TV or Twitter and attacks Hunter Biden for trading on his father’s name, brushing aside their own histories of doing the same.
Then the other one goes on TV or Twitter and wags their finger at Joe Biden allowing his son to profit off his name, never mentioning that their sister and brother-in-law are senior White House officials whose companies are raking in cash as they help craft U.S. policy.
With each appearance, the irony and sanctimony are ratcheted up. The brotherly competition reached its apex Wednesday night when Don Jr., who became an executive vice-president at his father’s company at the age of 23, appeared on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show and said this: “When you’re the father and your son’s entire career is dependent on that, they own you.”
