Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

Giving in to doom is how authoritarians win.

But frankly mr. cole, I’ll be happier when you get back to telling us to go fuck ourselves.

If you cannot answer whether trump lost the 2020 election, you are unfit for office.

Republicans got rid of McCarthy. Democrats chose not to save him.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Republicans in disarray!

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Trump’s cabinet: like a magic 8 ball that only gives wrong answers.

Shut up, hissy kitty!

Hey hey, RFK, how many kids did you kill today?

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

You cannot love your country only when you win.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Every decision we make has lots of baggage with it, known or unknown.

Let The Rosenstein Impeachment Shitshow Begin

by | 94 Comments

This post is in: , ,

Two of the dumbest members of congress, Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows, have wrangled several other nitwits in the freedom caucus into putting their names on this:

Conservative members led by Reps. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), along with 9 cosponsors, introduced articles of impeachment against Rosenstein shortly after a meeting with Justice Department officials concerning document production.

“For 9 months we’ve warned them consequences were coming, and for 9 months we’ve heard the same excuses backed up by the same unacceptable conduct. Time is up and the consequences are here. It’s time to find a new Deputy Attorney General who is serious about accountability and transparency,” Meadows said in a statement.

“Multiple times we’ve caught DOJ officials hiding information from Congress, withholding relevant documents, or even outright ignoring Congressional subpoenas—and now we have evidence that Mr. Rosenstein signed off on a document using unverified political opposition research as a cornerstone of a FISA application to spy on an American citizen working for the Trump campaign,” Meadows continued.

The document they are claiming about is the FISA bit on Carter Page that Devin Nunes lied about in his memo and that Jim Jordan has still apparently not read. Literally every person I have read that deals with FISA or the law has read the released FISA application and said it was fine, and you don’t need to be an expert to see that Nunes clearly was lying about the FISA application in his memo.

It used to be this was the kind of things that one or two members of Congress would say, and the idiots like Streiff at Red State or that lunatic Andy McCarthy at National Review would repeat at length for their drooling commentariat, but we’re now to the point where we have elected the commenters at these website to Congress, so this is where we are. I have no idea what happens next, but it will involve a great bit of Republican lying and stupidity, on that you can be sure.

    Jim Jordan’s practicing his own kind of distraction. It will be amusing to watch him fail pathetically.

    At this point, they’re just throwing feces to distract from any number of things. I’m surprised Ryan let this through, and I doubt there will be a vote on it, because the polls are going badly and why would any of the other members want that on their record, whichever way they vote? And yes, there will be a lot of loud, stupid lying. Rosenstein looks better every time he takes them on.

    Not a fucking thing. As i said at the end of the last thread, it’s members of the kkkazy kkkaukkkus throwing red meat to their electorate (and in Jordan’s case, create a distraction),. It will never get out of committee, might not even get a hearing.

    @Mary G: From what I read in the article earlier today (I replied to you about that in the previous thread), Ryan didn’t exactly let this through. There was some exception where he really didn’t have a choice – not a discharge petition but something that is also not under his control.

    @Mnemosyne: 2/3 And a real 2/3 – 67 votes.

    This is all nonsense because even if they force it out of the House it’s doa in the Senate. Jordan is trying to distract from the fact that he’s a rape enabler – that’s all this is.

    In the end, ironically, it will be Nunes et al who make it clear that Trump was not legitimately elected.

    Their flailing and stupidity and desperation are a persuasive argument that something is terribly wrong … if it weren’t they’d be calmly going about the business of enriching themselves at the public trough while the various investigations turn up nothing.

    Instead, just look at them. They’re like that guy from Georgia, running around backwards with their pants around their ankles shouting “USA!!”

    @efgoldman: Even absent conviction, impeachment is important as a rebuke for illegal conduct. If we game it out as to what the Senate will do ahead of time*, might as well write it out of the Constitution.

    Uh, oh. Looks like there are emails where Trumpist police officers targeted Stormy Daniels for crimes against Dear Leader:

    A whistleblower from the City of Columbus contacted the Advocate with numerous emails between several high-ranking Columbus police detectives and VICE officers.

    And right after that, a bombshell.
    Keckley sends a series of messages from her personal email account to her work account. Inside are pictures of Daniels with President Trump, pictures of Daniels in lingerie, and a map to the club where she would be performing.
    After Daniels’ arrest that Wednesday night, the emails continue into the early morning hours of Thursday, but the contents are disturbing.
    “I got the elements….we arrested Stormy this morning, she is in jail.” “Elements” are the burden police officers must meet in order to make an arrest.
    In another email dated on July 12 at 3:50 a.m., Keckley writes to another police officer bragging about Daniel’s arrest — without mentioning her by name — saying, “You’re Welcome!!!!!….Thank me in person later.”

    Speaking of Ohio State, something is very wrong there. NYT.

    Eszter Pryor, a former diver who trained with the Ohio State University Diving Club as a teenager, discussed in an interview on Monday an abusive relationship that she had in 2014, when she was 16, with a 28-year-old diving coach at the university, where the diving club trained. She said she felt stuck in the relationship because there was no athlete advocate she could call and no way to report the abuse without repercussions.

    Ms. Pryor, 21, filed a federal class-action lawsuit earlier this month in which she claims that the assistant coach, Will Bohonyi, forced her to have sex with him starting in 2014. She is suing Mr. Bohonyi, U.S.A. Diving and the Ohio State University Diving Club over the sexual abuse she said she endured. A criminal investigation is also continuing.

    A federal appeals court decided Wednesday that a California school board’s meetings may not include prayers, proselytizing or the citing of Christian Scripture.

    A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a 2016 injunction against the religious practices, which the court said dated back to at least 2010.

    In its appeal, the Chino Valley Unified School District board argued that it was covered by an exception for traditional prayer at the start of state legislatures, Congress and town hall meetings.

    The 9th Circuit disagreed, noting that the school board meetings include children and teenagers who are more vulnerable than adults to outside influence and who have been obligated to attend to give presentations, perform or receive awards.

    “These prayers typically take place before groups of schoolchildren whose attendance is not truly voluntary and whose relationship to school district officials, including the board, is not one of full parity,” the court said in an unsigned decision.

    Unlike sessions of Congress, state legislatures and town boards, the Chino Valley school board meetings “function as extensions of the educational experience of the district’s public schools,” the 9th Circuit said

    Another good news story today.

    Reporter Kaitlan Collins said press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and communications director Bill Shine told her she was banned from a late-afternoon announcement in the Rose Garden involving Trump and European Union president Jean-Claude Juncker a few hours after she sought to question Trump during a press-pool “spray” in the Oval Office.

    Blocking a credentialed White House reporter from an event open to all members of the media is highly unusual and possibly unprecedented, and it marks another low point in the Trump White House’s highly strained relationship with the news media.

    It wasn’t clear late Tuesday whether Shine and Sanders were acting on their own against Collins or were carrying out a directive from Trump himself. In a statement, the White House said: “At the conclusion of a press event in the Oval Office a reporter shouted questions and refused to leave despite repeatedly being asked to do so. Subsequently, our staff informed her she was not welcome to participate in the next event, but made clear that any other journalist from her network could attend. She said it didn’t matter to her because she hadn’t planned to be there anyway. To be clear, we support a free press and ask that everyone be respectful of the presidency and guests at the White House.

    The grownups need to step up immediately and shut it down. Imagine if people hadn’t have indulged Republicans in Congress and instead just called them liars and stopped inviting them on tv. They wouldn’t be launching fake impeachment efforts.

    Even as hundreds of parents and children have been rejoined in recent days and, in most cases, released (with parents wearing electronic-monitoring ankle bracelets), it has emerged that the stitching together of what the administration sundered may go on for weeks or months more. In court papers filed Monday, the government acknowledged that it may have deported more than 460 of the parents in question — although, in­cred­ibly, officials are not entirely sure. How and when those families might be reunited is anyone’s guess.

    U.S. District Court Judge Dana M. Sabraw, the Republican appointee who ordered that children be reunited with their parents, was characteristically understated when he called revelations of the government’s incompetence “unpleasant” and “deeply troubling.” He added: “But it’s the reality of the case, and the reality of a policy that was put in place that resulted in large numbers of families being separated without forethought as to reunification and keeping track of people.”

    In the chaos and confusion, parents in detention under the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have been presented with terrible and in some cases misleading choices. According to their advocates and lawyers, a number have been led to believe that waiving their asylum claims is the key to being swiftly reunited with their children. Doing so means near-certain deportation for parent and child — even if they could make a strong case for asylum.

It’s 4 minutes and I couldn’t stand to listen to it all. The judge or arbitrator or whatever he is waits for them to tearfully beg to stay and then just rattles off boilerplate “you haven’t made your case and will be deported” in a fast brusque voice that’s just beyond my words for bad.

    Well, from reading most of the early/instant analysis of the Free Dumb Caucus’s Rosenstein “impeachment resolution”, the less it looks like a serious attack on the DAG’s tenure, and more like (shocking surprise!) ludicrous PR grandstanding for the MAGA rubes at home.
    Mainly because Congress is adjourning after tomorrow, so nothing can be be done (even if they wanted to) for another month.
    Last I heard (Monday?) , Jordan and Meadows had decided to forgo the “impeachment” route by taking their gripe with Rosenstein to the DoJ’s Inspector General: I wonder if that worthy shot them down, so they figured they had little to lose by going ahead with Plan A: making a big stink about it to get headlines, then milking the faux-outrage for votes back in Trumpland……

    I understand that Kentucky basketball recruits were provided with girls for sex when they visited the school on recruiting visits. Or maybe that was Louisville? Or both? There’s some rape culture there too.

    I dunno what to do. D-III sports is probably a lot cleaner than Big 10, Big 12, SEC, etc, etc. People using their little grasp of power to sexually assault the students on their teams — how revolting is that! I think “Gym” Jordan watched, too. To get back on topic!
