The consultant attorney for the judiciary committee is now asking questions. Get the popcorn!! This guy is great with just the first minutes of questioning!!
This Corey stuff was predicted. I just don't know what the Dems are suppose to do. They are fucked if they do and fucked if they don't. I follow everything closely and don't even know why Corey was there today. Was it a pretend impeachment hearing or a real one? I've said this a lot but it's clear we have no laws that can be enforced. No one has gone to jail for ignoring a subpoena and the Dem's have sent out a ton of them. No-one has gone to jail for contempt of Congress. 45 waves fakes executive privilege and then it gets held up in the court system. Even if the Nadler/Pelosi and all the Dems were on the same page and we moved forward to impeachment - guess what? no-one would show up for anything. They've made our system a joke. Nadler is 1,000 years old and is not cut out for this nor are the other grandma and grandpas on that committee.
CNN is slaming Lewandoski for his testimony today but they had him as a paid panelist in 2016. I guess he was a good guy then.
That was so cathartic! I suggest everyone avoid any annoying clips of Lewandowski being a dick and just watch the 30 minutes of an amazing cross examination by Barry Berke.

So what you're saying is we should go ahead live it up (eat junk! Drink alchohol! Sunbathe without SPF!) because weaponized or inadvertently released diseases will kill us before other things potentially can.
Seriously what the ever-loving hell. Isn't this the beginning to The Stand by Stephen King?
Watching that piece of shit gives me a visceral hate-filled reaction. All the fucking privileged white men who have lauded their mediocrity over the years...I don't have a place to channel this rage.

I am a little sad I missed this in real time. I have seen some clips but not the whole thing. By then I had other things I needed to do. I wish they had started with him!
I think they should Corey for refusing to answer questions and the other two for refusing to show up at all.

No explosion there. Just one dude breaking quarantine after a much quieter accident. But yeah, basically.

Rachel Maddow last night mentioned this several times,. Not so subtly saying "they might want to rethink for future sessions, starting with the 30 minutes of professional questioning and then everyone can have their 5 minutes following up."
I hope Nadler was watching TRMS last night and takes the advice!
President Trump announced that Robert C. OโBrien, currently the special envoy for hostage affairs at the State Department, will be his next national security advisor.
Benjamin Netanyahu did worse than he hoped in Israelโs election and may lose office.
This is the fight of his political life โ and it's personal too. If he loses, he will have no way to protect himself from indictments on corruption and bribery charges.
The whistleblower complaint that triggered a showdown between the Intel Community and Congress involves Trump's communications with a foreign leader and a "promise" he made, two former U.S. officials familiar with the matter tell WaPo.

Maddow is talking about this tonight. It sounds like it could be Putin. Trump did have a phone call with him in the 5 weeks prior to the whistleblower filing the complaint.

The WaPo reporter tweeted about two separate things that occurred before this (in the same tweet) - Trump spoke to Putin on the phone and Trump tweeted that he opposed CIA spying in North Korea. At first I thought the reporter was saying that both happened in tandem (that Trump told Putin he would stop spying on NK) but heโs just listing two things that occurred. Although now I am wondering if they are indeed connected. Omg that is crazy BUT the fact that Maguire is going through great lengths to protect whatever happened scares me. And who the hell knows how useless the GOP will be on this anyway and just call it a nothingburger.
The whistleblower can go directly to the committee with this information if they tell the IG that they are. The WaPo article says the WB has a lawyer. I hope if Maguire doesn't show today the WB is there instead.
Kennedy is in. I donโt like this at all. Iโm not usually a Kennedy hater but I do genuinely think Markey is more progressive even though he is old and less flashy/cute. I think this is a dumb move when Markey already has so many high profile progressive endorsements and is going to be in his last term. Iโm also annoyed at the political dominoes of having this Congressional seat vacant.

seeyalater52, I am so cranky about it. He's less progressive, less experienced, and you're just swapping out one rich white guy for another. This isn't the same thing as Pressely and Capuano. Or even Richie Neal and Alex Morse this cycle (which is going to be SO INTERESTING to watch.)
I guess I'll just sit over here being happy it isn't Seth Moulton, ha.
