Dammit, I don't want a recess.

[aurora]

Well, I do need to get some work done.

Plaskett is my new girl crush. I think I love her.

I'm not sure which thread this belongs in, but Matt Gaetz is now under investigation for his threat against Cohen yesterday:

I didn't catch who is being interviewed on MSNBC, but he said he's glad the Rs are pressing that Cohen lied about the Trump Tower deal, because Trump said the exact.same.thing. that Cohen did. Proving that the President lied.

My stream must be a slight bit behind the rest of you, but YES, she is amazing.

Also, I saw the greatest summary of this hearing on Twitter. I'm paraphrasing, but it was something like:

The real lesson from this hearing is that no woman should ever doubt her abilities to run for office.

That time frame was for the members. Cummings told Cohen it would be about an hour or so.

[miniroller]

And just think: only D’s are left to question!!! No more of this ridiculous wasting-my-constituents’-time crap; actual questions that are seeking answers into the criminality of Trump’s 🤘

[miniroller]

If you couldn’t watch, or just want on file😌, these are the two must-see clips:
Cohen says to Jim Jordan, Shame on you!

Mark Meadows: He’s not racist; he has a black employee, & here she is!!!!!

Michael Cohen Testifies That Trump Thinks Don Jr. Is Too Dumb to Be Trusted

The whole family is just Fredos all the way down.

[curbsideprophet]

I have to go somewhere tonight, so I am going to need them to get started again soon.

[mrsukyankee]

Just throwing this in here from the UK:

James O'Brien (radio host and liberal dude): It will be remarkable if Brexit & Trump unravel in unison. And fitting.


It's in our news too.

[muffin0]

I have been busy all damn day, I can’t wait to sit down and watch and read this thread

I’ve never run errands so fast in my life, but I’m back so NOW they can start - lol.  I was so afraid I’d miss AOC!

[isabel]

I've been dealing with a furnace issue that the HVAC guy finally sorted out. He just left. I was sure I had missed everything and am very pleased to see that I did not.

[Pom]

MSNBC panel is making valid points that Cohen was at times defending Trump still. And yet the R’s are simply attacking Cohen on credibility when he is already a convicted and disbarred liar. Not at anytime, questioning if Trump is innocent.

[smock]

Cohen is back at the table! Buckle up for round 2!

[pixy0stix]

Here we go!

wow, I actually agree with Trump on something. 

[miniroller]

My H just got home & is trying to get me to go watch the Liverpool game in the basement with him (DVR’d from earlier). Ummm- no. But, erm, you can go ahead & start it/ don’t need to wait...


Ohhh- (some) people are taking seats...

[curbsideprophet]

Finally getting started

[pixy0stix]

What are they talking about, payments from foreign entities.

[miniroller]

A great portrayal:

It’s like Democrats are prosecutors representing America, trying to get to the truth. And Republicans are defense attorneys for Trump, trying their best to discredit Cohen. They are supposed to represent America, not just Trump. This is pathetic and disgusting.

GOP wants to refer him to DOJ for violating FARA. More discrediting.

[Pom]

Too bad Meadows & GOP aren’t as interested in Trump’s foreign conflicts.

[bowies]

Seeing that BTA isn’t majority owned by foreign government anymore.
