Rudy Giuliani's role is questionable in the orbit of Donald Trump. There
are many questions left unanswered. Here are 3 that, if left
answered, require him to discontinue his role as the personal attorney
to Donald Trump and his adjacency to the United States government.

Trump Throws Pence Under The Bus And Says HIS Calls Should Be Released
Donald Trump made a huge gaffe while talking to the press by saying that
Vice President Mike Pence should also be forced to hand over his
conversations, because he made quite a few himself.
Trump then tried to say that those calls were also perfect, but his statement makes it clear that he is going to take everyone down with him. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what that means for those involved in this scandal.

Matt Gaetz Accidentally Admits That Trump Desperately Schooled GOP On Handling Ukraine Call
Republican Representative Matt Gaetz is usually unflappable in his
talking points about how much he loves the resident and in his defense
of the resident, but MSNBC caught him off guard when he accidentally
admitted that Trump allowed certain Republicans to read the Ukraine
phone call transcript before it was released. Ring of Fire’s Farron
Cousins discusses this.

Lindsey Graham CONFRONTED For Being A Hypocrite
Lindsey Graham is a swampy slimeball. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down.
“For Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the very notion that President Donald Trump could be deserving of impeachment seemed "laughable" earlier this week. After having read a summary of the July phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that sparked House Democrats' impeachment inquiry into the president, McConnell said on Wednesday that it was "laughable to think this is anywhere close to an impeachable offense."

Giuliani Played A Role In Almost Every Matter That Will Eventually Get Trump Impeached! #RudyColludy
Rudy Giuliani played a key role in almost every aspect of the
justifications for impeaching Donald Trump. He also has legal jeopardy
issues to deal with apart from Trump, seeing as though he has seemingly
failed to register as a foreign agent as required by the Foreign Agents
Registration Act (FARA).

Let's Do This Impeachment Thing
Posted by Rude One
Let's get straight what the straw that broke Nancy Pelosi's back on impeachment was. It wasn't the phone call to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky where he said he wanted that country to go after Joe Biden and his son (or at least make it look like they were going after them). It wasn't the implication of theresident of the United States using our
country's relationship with a foreign country to go after a political
opponent, to, really, collude with that country.
While surely that call and Trump's admitted actions played a role in Pelosi finally giving in to her increasingly restive and vocal caucus, it was really more cut-and-dried: the law says that if a whistleblower gives information to the inspector general of the intelligence community that the IG deems "urgent" and legitimate, it must be given to the proper congressional committees. It's that fucking simple. And even though Pelosi has let some things slide (like Trump refusing to turn over his taxes to the chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, as required by law), this one could not only be couched in terms of "national security" since it involves, you know, intelligence. But the motherfucking IG who found it urgent is a Trump appointee.
You know how this is gonna play out over the next few days: Trump has already said he's going to release the "transcript" of his July 25 call with Zelensky. And let's be clear: it ain't gonna be a transcript, unless they record the calls in the Oval Office, which would be peak Trump stupidity, and even then there's no way to trust it. Probably the transcript will show that Trump never said, "Hey, Voldemort, dick over Biden or no bomb money for you." But, as Jeffrey Toobin and others have said today, if Trump even mentions Biden's name, it's abuse of power. I'm betting that, if you're really concerned about corruption in Ukraine, there are lots of people not named Biden involved. (Besides, Hunter Biden was already completely cleared of any involvement in anything. He was never even formally accused of anything.)
This fuckin' dance will go something like the Mueller Report. Because it's not absolutely obvious to the dumbest dumb ass what's going on in the phone call, most Republicans and Fox "news" and Twitter fucknuts will proclaim it a "witch hunt" and try to discredit the whole impeachment effort.
But we don't even know if that's all that the whistleblower was talking about. As I write this, the New York Times is reporting that the White House is figuring out how much to allow the whistleblower to speak to Congress, which, again, is not what the law says. It's a distraction strategy so that that array of leperous whores who run interference for Trump can say to his idiot hordes of voters, "See? Look how transparent your orange god is."
While I'm still leaning agnostic on the whole "this is finally what brings this motherfucker down" early celebration because we've been burned so many times before, I gotta say that there is something different going on here. First off, today, Mitch McConnell, that infected sore on the scrotum of politics, went along with a nonbinding resolution calling for the whistleblower's complaint to be given to the intelligence committees, and it passed with unanimous consent. Say what you will about it, but it gives Democrats some pretty potent ammunition to say that Trump, Barr, and the Acting Director of National Intelligence are being fucking criminals by holding it back.
If I were an optimistic person, I'd say that we might see some Republicans start to peel off as people wake up and see that, at last, in a game of chicken with the White House, Democrats in the House did not swerve at the last minute. It's a whole lot more fun to root for a fighter, and if polls start to show growing support for impeachment, I'd say some GOP House members, at the very least, are gonna start to get a little nervous about keeping their lips super glued to Trump's voluminous ass.
And I've seen a few conservatives in the media agreeing that Trump admitted to impeachable offenses when he bragged that he talked about the Bidens with Zelensky. Maybe we'll get more who give a shit about the rule of law, but I wouldn't hold my breath. The one thing I would say to any Republicans who might be reading: "Fuck you." And then the next thing I'd say is "You knew it was gonna come to this. You knew Trump was just that vile and depraved and greedy and dumb and narcissistic. How else was this gonna go?" Perhaps I'd add: "Did you see him at the United Nations today? Sweet Jesus, I thought he was gonna collapse into himself like a deflating yoga ball. He ain't right. You wanna stand by that?"
We are at the beginning now. I don't think this will be like the oddly fast Clinton impeachment, which took a little over two months (with the trial and acquittal in the Senate over two months after that). That came in the wake of the Starr Report, so it was a response to a full, ludicrous, shameful sham of an investigation. We're starting from scratch here. Let's have some hearings on the TV, please. Drag Trump's ass for as long as it's necessary.
What Nancy Pelosi finally did was to stop allowing Democrats to be so goddamned feckless and seemingly random in their attempts to investigate Trump and his administration. An effective Democratic caucus would have already gone after Trump for profiting off his position or for what was revealed in the Mueller Report, which essentially said, "You gotta impeach this crooked cock."
Now Democrats can have a crystal clear, simple message that can tie together the threads of all the various committees' work:
Trump is a criminal, and here are all the ways he has violated the law, his oath of office, and the public trust. Now let's impeach the motherfucker.
Gird yer loins, oh, good Trump-haters of America, for things are gonna get intense and weird and possibly (even more) violent, if his yahoo-brigade starts to think their racist president is going down.
We've finally, really joined the battle. It's about goddamn time.
(One last note: Rudy Giuliani is fucked. He better cut some deals fast because Trump is selling him out in a heartbeat.)

PELOSI TO ANNOUNCE FORMAL IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY AT 5 P.M.
167 House Democrats — more than 2/3 of the 235 member caucus — say they now back some type of impeachment action against Trump
By Lisa Mascaro, Mary Clare Jalonick and Jonathan Lemire
Published Sep 24, 2019 at 3:54 AM | Updated 7 minutes ago
Democrats lined up in ever greater
numbers Tuesday urging an impeachment probe of resident Donald Trump,
pushed to action by his phone call with Ukraine's new leader and what
Trump may or may not have said about corruption, frozen U.S. millions
and Democratic rival Joe Biden. Trump said he would release a transcript
of the call on Wednesday.
Attention
focused on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has resisted calls for an
impeachment inquiry for months. But as more members of her caucus
pressed for a probe — including crucial moderates in political swing
districts — the speaker planned to huddle with her members late Tuesday
afternoon.
Advisers said she would make a statement on the path forward
at 5 p.m. EDT.
Pelosi is expected
to announce she backs a formal impeachment inquiry, according to two
Democratic sources close to her, NBC News reported.
In
an appearance ahead of that meeting, Pelosi sidestepped questions about
whether she believed Trump's actions were impeachable, but she said it
would be wrong for the president to ask a foreign leader for help
investigating Biden, a leading contender for the Democratic presidential
nomination.
"We don't ask foreign governments to help us in our election," Pelosi said.
At
issue is a summer phone call Trump had with Ukraine's president, which
came to Congress' attention through a whistleblower complaint. Trump has
insisted he did nothing wrong in the call, but has suggested he raised
Biden and his son Hunter as part of discussions over corruption in
Ukraine — despite no evidence of wrongdoing on the part of either man.
Moments before Pelosi spoke, Trump tweeted that he had authorized the release on Wednesday of a transcript of the call.
"You will see it was a very friendly and totally appropriate call," Trump said
.
Help Me Need Send A Message to @SpeakerPelosi That Avoiding Impeachment Isn’t An Option!
The times in which we live are too tenuous to be complacent about Donald
Trump's shameful disregard for the law and institutional norms. We must
communicate to our leaders that settling for anything other than
removing Trump from office is a non-starter! We have an obligation to
our family, friends, and neighbors to build a better country than we
were given. That starts with ridding ourselves of Donald Trump as resident!

Remembering How Trump And The Right Tried To Convince Everyone Obama Was A Traitor
Posted by Rude One
Every fucking day they went after President Obama. Every fucking day they looked for the merest hint, some seemingly insignificant spark that they could fan into a full conflagration, some misstep that would give his evil game away. Every fucking day the syphilitic cocks of the right tried to prove that Barack Obama, who was clearly guilty of being president while black, was a Muslim, anti-American traitor out to destroy the good (white) American way of life.
Goddamn, the things they came up with. It's almost laughable. They thought a photo of him holding Fareed Zakaria's book The Post-American World proved that he was some kind of crazy radical. Vile sack of rotting flesh with a bloated fish head on top Dick Cheney more or less called Obama a traitor for daring to have an exit strategy for the endless (and still going) war in Afghanistan (Cheney really said, "I think it’s likely to give encouragement — aid and comfort — to the enemy"). Hell, one human-shaped fart, former Rep. Trent Franks, called Obama "an overt traitor to the state of Israel," to which any American ought to say, "The fuck?" Fun fact: Franks was forced to resign from Congress over sexual harassment allegations for offering women on his staff money to bear his child.
This isn't even to get into all the treachery that was implied by birtherism. Or all the shit said by the racist fuck nuts in stupid hats that made up the goddamned Tea Party. Or every conservative twatmite trying to get some ratings or publicity by insulting Obama or accusing him of high crimes.
Donald Trump, of course, was into this degradation of President Obama long before he ran for president in 2016 and went into overdrive while running. In June 2016, after the shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Trump said of Obama that "we're led by a man that either is not tough, not smart, or he's got something else in mind." And, because Trump is a cowardly bitch, he hinted rather than stated, "And the something else in mind — you know, people can't believe it. People cannot, they cannot believe that President Obama is acting the way he acts and can't even mention the words 'radical Islamic terrorism.' There's something going on. It's inconceivable. There's something going on."
You gotta think about those last lines - "It's inconceivable. There's something going on" - in light of the whistle-blower allegations that Trump did something so alarming that an intelligence official felt compelled to report it to the inspector general of the intelligence community, who found it "urgent" enough that he wanted to tell Congress but was stopped by Trump's Acting Director of National Intelligence. Think about all those attacks on Obama, all those digging into the minute details of his words, his dress, his friends, Michelle, all in a vain attempt to show he was a traitor.
And compare that to Donald Trump, who it now seems was holding up funding to Ukraine, perhaps to try to force the country to find or create dirt on Joe Biden and/or Biden's son. That funding was passed by Congress, so, yeah, maybe they have an interest in this.
Or compare it to Trump's ongoing coddling and support of savage dictators and monarchs, like Kim Jong-un or MBS, or that prick Putin. Compare it to Trump saying he was awaiting word from Saudi Arabia on whether we should go to war for "the Kingdom." Trump always accuses others of being guilty of the very crimes he has committed. And you don't even have to try very hard to find them.
The right, especially the GOP in Congress, won't say a fucking word about the traitor whose traitorous acts are staring them right in their dumb faces. And that makes them accessories to Trump's crimes. But they'll go right ahead calling for investigations of Obama and Clinton and whoever else they can throw up as a smoke screen to their genuine destruction of our democracy.

Elie Mystal Cross-Examines Ari Melber To Show Dems How It's Done
After the Lewandowski debacle, Mystal appeared on The Beat to exhort
the Democrats on the Judiciary Committee to let the experts handle the
questioning of witnesses, and demonstrated why.
By Aliza Worthington
By Aliza Worthington
Corey Lewandowski seemed to run the table
on the Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. He was stonewalling, pretending
to not remember his own notes and conversations, getting in jabs about
his alleged "good looks," plugs for his Senate run, and just getting
away with grossly ethically deviant and defiant behavior. He and Brett
Kavanaugh must be very fond of one another.
It was painful to watch even for the average layperson, but for legal eagles like Elie Mystal and Ari Melber, it was excruciating. Mystal joined Melber on "The Beat" on Wednesday to give a master class on the way to handle hostile, bratty, entitled, criminal douchebros like Lewandowski. He also gave the Democrats some pretty solid advice on how to move on with these proceedings.
Then Mystal demonstrated in a hilarious mini-cross-examination to drive the point even further home.
Melber harkened back to Watergate, and Senator Fred Thompson, who ended up on the show Mystal used as an example in his rant — "Law and Order." (Well-played, Ari, we see you...) But the point was Sen. Thompson was extremely skilled in cross-examination and THAT was the skill that was needed in that moment, like it is needed in this one. He reinforced Mystal's point that Dems on the Judiciary Committee who are anything short of BRILLIANT at cross-examination should cede the floor to people who are. All egos aside. And Mystal explained why.
Then Melber asked Mystal a Yes or No question of his own...
It was a great teaching moment for Dems, who cannot afford to miss ANY MORE learning opportunities like this. I hope they were watching. I hope they take his advice. Because if they don't, then it may turn out Nancy Pelosi's instinct for avoiding impeachment may be the the right one, but not for the reason everyone thinks. It might be because she knows what Mystal is saying is true - they aren't able to get out of their own way enough to do the job right.
I say that with all the love and faith in the Dems on that committee, but we need this and we cannot afford any missteps or missed opportunities like we had when Lewandowki was in front of them.
DON'T fuck it up. For the love of all that is holy, let the experts handle this.

Mystal joined Melber on "The Beat" on Wednesday to give a master class on the way to handle hostile, bratty, entitled, criminal douchebros like Lewandowski. He also gave the Democrats some pretty solid advice on how to move on with these proceedings.
MYSTAL: I was frustrated very much yesterday. If the Democrats want to
move forward with this, if they want to truly put country over party,
that has to start at home. They need to get over themselves and let the
professionals handle this going forward. Nobody is is tuning into the
hearings to see 17 Democratic Congresspeople waffle about on their
poorly prepared questions that they got off of an episode of "Law and
Order." This takes professional cross-examination to deal with the
sneering hostility that the Trump people are giving them. They don't
know how to do it. That's not a total slam on them. You have to be
trained to do this. Pro tip, if you find yourself yelling at a witness,
"That's a yes or no question!" Guess what? Your question was bad.
Because if you asked a good question, there IS only two options, right?
Then Mystal demonstrated in a hilarious mini-cross-examination to drive the point even further home.
MYSTAL: Ari, do you like ties? That's not a yes or no question! Mr. Melber, are you wearing a tie today?
MELBER: Yes.
MYSTAL: Did you wear a tie yesterday?
MELBER: Yes.
MYSTAL: Here are 137 episodes of The Beat. Is this you in all the episodes? Are you wearing a tie in all these episodes? Mr. Melber! Do you want this committee to believe that you do not like ties?
THAT'S how you do it. It's an actual skill that the Democratic Congresspeople don't have. This whole hearing should have been designed to make Barry Berke the star. Because HE is the one who had the credentials and the experience to break Lewandowski down.
MELBER: Yes.

And Mystal explained why.
MYSTAL: Everybody wants their little moment. But this is not what this
should be. Democrats keep telling us that we are in unprecedented
waters. With a uniquely criminal president. Well, they need to start
acting like that. And the way you act like that is to have, again, these
professional prosecutors, these professional attorneys really hammer
down on these witnesses.
There's nothing -- there's a level of obstruction that the Trump administration is willing to go to.
There's a level of disrespect that the Trump witnesses are willing to go to that these Congresspeople simply aren't used to dealing with. They are not ready to deal with that. And again, that's training. We have people who are specifically trained to deal with criminals and hostile witnesses and know how to illicit answers from them.
There's nothing -- there's a level of obstruction that the Trump administration is willing to go to.

Then Melber asked Mystal a Yes or No question of his own...
MELBER: My last question for you, yes or no, is will you come back?
MYSTAL: I absolutely will come back. Because I don't lie when I'm here.
MYSTAL: I absolutely will come back. Because I don't lie when I'm here.
It was a great teaching moment for Dems, who cannot afford to miss ANY MORE learning opportunities like this. I hope they were watching. I hope they take his advice. Because if they don't, then it may turn out Nancy Pelosi's instinct for avoiding impeachment may be the the right one, but not for the reason everyone thinks. It might be because she knows what Mystal is saying is true - they aren't able to get out of their own way enough to do the job right.
I say that with all the love and faith in the Dems on that committee, but we need this and we cannot afford any missteps or missed opportunities like we had when Lewandowki was in front of them.
DON'T fuck it up. For the love of all that is holy, let the experts handle this.

How Much Of A Pussy Ass Bitch Is Donald Trump? An Investigation
Posted by Rude One
You don't really need to know why model and TV host Chrissy Teigen calledresident Donald Trump a "pussy ass bitch." I mean, you can probably
think of a dozen reasons right off the top of your head and nod, saying,
"Yeah, that makes sense." Because, obviously, Donald Trump is a pussy
ass bitch. He's always been a pussy ass bitch. He'll always be a pussy
ass bitch with his pussy ass bitch sons and his pussy ass bitch
business.
It's more a question of degrees than a discussion of whether or not it's true. We know it's true. We just need to figure out how much. And Trump's actions in the last few days give us ample opportunity to examine the amount of pussy ass bitch he's been.
So let's take a look at the evidence of pussy ass bitchery.
1. Trump fired National Security Adviser John Bolton by tweet because he's always been too much of a pussy ass bitch to fire anyone in person unless they are fake employees on his old game show. (Note: John Bolton is dangerously bat shit insane and should be sprayed with a fire hose if he comes anywhere near a government position, but he's not a pussy ass bitch.)
2. He had Commerce Secretary Wilbur "Hey, Can You Check to See If Wilbur's Dead" Ross threaten to fire people at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. This was after some NOAA employee in Birmingham, Alabama, did the responsible thing last week and informed the public that Donald Trump was totally wrong when he said that their state was in the path of Hurricane Dorian. We had a week-long fit from Trump because he was too much of a pussy ass bitch to admit he fucked up.
3. Trump dismissed the idea of allowing some of the tens of thousands of people whose cities were wiped out by Dorian in the Bahamas to come to the United States, saying that other areas of the Bahamas that weren't hit should take them. And he did it in the most dickish way possible, by accusing victims of possibly being "some very bad people and some very bad gang members and some very, very bad drug dealers." So he's such a racist pussy ass bitch that he won't allow people who've lost everything to recover here in the United States.
4. When it was revealed that the Air Force had been using the Trump resort in Scotland for its crews to stay during long flights (and play golf there), as well as using the airport right near the resort to refuel at a higher price than a relatively nearby airbase, Trump claimed he had "nothing to do with" it, which, of course, turned out to be a lie, as it often does. He's such a pussy ass bitch that he can't even cop to something that he personally signed off on.
5. Trump gave the Public Safety Medal of Valor to six police officers from Dayton, Ohio, in honor of them doing their duty in taking down a mass shooter there. However, he did not invite the mayor of Dayton, Nan Whaley, because she's a Democrat and she's been critical of Trump. Instead, he had Republican political leaders from Ohio present. When you can't handle having anyone around you who doesn't kiss your ring, that's some pussy ass bitch behavior right there.
In sum, Trump is a total pussy ass bitch. Everything he does stems from him being a pussy ass bitch. His entire immigration policy is about turning us into a nation of pussy ass bitches. Every time he says something about reforming gun laws, the NRA shows him their pimp hand and he cowers back into his natural state of being a pussy ass bitch. And let's not even get into how much of a pussy ass bitch he is when it comes to the dictators in North Korea, Saudi Arabia, and Russia.
Oh, sure, he's the tough guy at his rallies. But then, well, he's surrounded by all the pussy ass bitches who support him.
Let's thank Chrissy Teigen for giving us a shorthand way to define Trump. It's especially sweet that it takes the words he used to talk about assaulting women and turns them against him.

BUSTED! Trump Had Secret Deal With Scotland Airport To Boost Business
Donald Trump swore all day Monday that he had nothing to do with
military personnel and the Vice President staying at his Turnberry golf
course in Scotland, but it turns out this was just another lie.
And the little failing airport that feeds Turnberry? Trump’s got a deal with them, too, and that’s why hundreds of military flights are stopping at the inconvenient airport in order to spend millions on fuel.
Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

Donald Trump’s advisers believe that he’s done a great job running the
