1. Good for Frum: Trump wants "fabrication not investigation."

Absolutely.

It's like the media's permanent use of Russia/Trump's term "dirt" on Hillary Clinton. The dirt never existed, but the slur never dies.

2. Like LBJ's comment about smearing an opponent. He said he didn't care if it was not true

that his opponent f**ked pigs--he just wanted him to have to keep publicly denying that he f**ked pigs.

[Hortensis]

3. LBJ is actually one of my "favorite" presidents.

At least to read from a comfortable distance in time about. He was an extremely...masterful politician and, at times, a great man.

The guns and the bombs, the rockets and the warships, are all symbols of human failure. Lyndon B. Johnson

Yup.

10. tRUMP wants us to look at the shiny object whilst

he distracts us from something MUCH more dangerous. Remember the Ukrainian conversation isn't the only thing referenced by the whistle blower according to reporting.

14. Yes, well, the NYT is pulling on the Repub end of this rope also.

4. Ukraine should go to the UN to lodge a complaint against trump.

Extortion needs to be exposed internally

[ffr]

5. The fabrication against Hillary shaved off enough voters, so he doubled down on Biden

Hey, if people are stupid enough to think that Hillary, who people adore, is unlikable, then hey, anything's possible.

6. Aslund's good

7. Cuomo let Giuliani repeatedly claim China gave Biden $250M, and made no pushback to that lie.

Indeed, Cuomo seemed to have no trouble with Giuliani asking for an "investigation," only with Trump asking for one.

It is so frustrating when these MAGAts come on CNN and spout lies and don't get called out for lying.

11. I think Cuomo got exhausted

from trying to get a word in edge wise on Rudy, as he wouldn't shut up. He kept on ranting straight into spittle-hysteria.

15. What really needs to be said is that this is banana republic level ratfuckery

Using your political office to attack your political opponents transcends mere political corruption and criminality. It’s a clear and present danger to our democracy.
