  1. I think Mark Meadows is right inasmuch as the Ds will control the news cycles for a long while. He can complain that that is ¨unfair¨ until the cows come home, but elections have consequences.

  2. I enjoyed this bit of Yovanovitch’s testimony (emphasis added):

    Well, I mean, he basically said, and went into some detail, that there were two individuals from Florida, Mr. Parnas and Mr. Fruman, who were working with Mayor Giuliani, and that they had set up the meetings for Mr. Giuliani with Mr. Lutsenko. And that they were interested in having a different ambassador at post, I guess for—because they wanted to have business dealings in Ukraine, or additional business dealings. I didn’t understand that because nobody at the embassy had ever met those two individuals. And, you know, one of the biggest jobs of an American ambassador of the U.S. Embassy is to promote U.S. business. So, of course, if legitimate business comes to us, you know, that’s what we do, we promote U.S. business.

  3. Dear Donald:

    You’re fucked.

    Love, The Deep State (e.g., “The Rule of Law”)

  4. Taxes to the right of Trump, Transcripts to the left - Republicans stuck in the Deep Shit with Trump.

  5. It’s that ‘legitimate’ thing!
