Just had to see what faux was up to this morning, a brief rundown

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

1. Democrats ignoring the bidens interest in Ukraine
2. The transcript will be a total democrat embarrassment
3. Watchdog: Whistleblower has a political bias and is working to help trumps rivals

I also find it funny they have failed to mention ghouliani or the fact trump has admitted he held up the money to the Ukraine. Although did hear a little interesting tidbit:

"Fox sources say the transcript WILL RAISE EYEBROWS but will show no wrong doing by the president"

That from the network complaining democrats don't know what is in the transcript

[vlyons]

1. raised eyebrows of disbelief

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

2. Exactly

[uponit7771]

3. K&R, Looks like Republicans are going to conflate Mueller with Ukraine to confuse Red Don's base

[lindysalsagal]

4. Surprisingly, they have Nancy's address pinned live to their banner.

Which at least is real, and part of history. The rest of the page attempts to discredit her and us with "frump hatred." So, they got that right, too.

[vlyons]

17. I do not hate Trump

As a Buddhist, I struggle to look at his vile corrupt behavior with a calm abiding mind. Hatred is poison. I feel sorry for him and his enablers. But mostly I feel sorry for us citizen regular people, who get inflamed with anger and seduced with their greed. We live in degenerate times. Trump and his ilk will reap the bitter fruit of the seeds they have sown.

5. Fuck the transcript and its 18.5-minute gaps

Congress needs the original complaint and the whistleblower's testimony.

[barbtries]

6. fox sources

are pulled directly out of their asses.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

7. OMFG ainsley airhead JUST SAID

The state department begged Ukraine not to stop the investigations (biden)

Can they be any more stupid over there?

[gordianot]

8. Yes they can be more stupid.

Consider their target audience. Expect it to happen.

U.S. Ambassador Roped Into Rudy's Quest to Smear Biden

Source: Daily Beast

Rudy Giuliani’s contacts with officials at the State Department as part of his controversial efforts to dig up dirt on Joe Biden in Ukraine are more extensive than have been publicly reported. And they raise additional questions about the degree to which senior officials throughout the Trump administration were involved in—or privy to—attempts by the president to muddy a top potential political opponent.

Over the course of the past year, Giuliani has participated in a far-flung campaign by Trump allies to unearth damaging information about Biden and his son Hunter. As part of that effort, Giuliani pressed the Ukrainian government to investigate so-far unfounded allegations of corruption in the country involving the Bidens. At the time, Hunter Biden was accused of using his father’s political standing to secure lucrative business opportunities abroad. Ukraine’s prosecutor general would subsequently say he had no evidence of any wrongdoing.

This summer, Giuliani briefed U.S. diplomats, including special representative for Ukraine Kurt Volker, on his work in Ukraine and his efforts to convince the administration of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate the Bidens. But Giuliani confirmed to The Daily Beast that he also briefed another diplomat: U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland. President Trump’s lawyer said that he briefed both Volker (who he referred to as the “main one” in terms of his State contacts) and Sondland on multiple conference calls earlier this year about his progress in pursuing a Ukraine investigation.

It wasn’t exactly an unknown topic for Sondland. The ambassador was also closely involved with the Trump phone call to Zelensky in which Trump repeatedly pressured the Ukrainian president to investigate the Bidens.

9. This is sad. Thought trump was mad at them. Guess

they decided to make it up to him.

It just feels like it is the right time in history to do the right thing and report the truth. Guess not.

[Watchfoxheadexplodes]

10. "Not really an impeachment"

New talking point

Pelosi called no vote.


O boy

[Piratedog]

11. I don't think there is a transcript.

It will be constructed. Watch out if in Sharpie!

[certainot]

13. it's easy to dismiss fox but multiply all that crap with 1500 radio stations x months of reepetition

the pretext for trump's ukraine stupidity was created in some think tank, maybe russian, and repeated out of limbaugh's ass for months before trump decided to use it in his idiot ' make a deal' way

talk radio is the problem, the only medium that can do the repetition to a huge captive audience. fox is the cartoon cliff notes for talk radio and for dems who ignore rw radio fox serves as an easy-to-dismiss decoy for the real problem.

so like every other such event this event will be like the preemptive barr take on the mueller report.

i'll bet they release their "transcript" just before 12 EST- the start of the limbaugh show - all republicans will get behind the limbaugh interpretation, which may be coordinated directly with the white house, using distinct info no one outside the white house is supposed to know until the actual release

14. You know you're going to have to spend half the morning in the shower now, right?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

15. It's only one of something like 8 (EIGHT) conversations. Plus tRump meets Ukr. Pres. today at UN. nt

[Mr. Ected]

16. When your viewers have already decided that Democrats are enemies of the USA

It's not real hard to convince them that an impeachable offense can be condoned because a Democrat did worse, and do so without any facts or substantiation or applicable of logic.

It's almost as if they're zombies, incapable and unwilling to use their grey matter for anything other than knee-jerk hate.

[Baitball Blogger]

18. They're trying to frame the issue and influence people's minds,

before the document is out. Much like Barr did.

The patterns are beginning to collapse on themselves.

19. Thank you for your sacrifice and service n/t
