Lindsey Graham is so distraught he actually told reporters he won’t read Sondland’s revised testimony.

He’s literally bury his head in the sand. This is hilarious.

The media is running into this everywhere
they go. From the Today Show:

RADFORD: Show of hands, how many of you voted for the president back in 2016? (nine voters all put their hand up) And how many of you plan to vote for him again in 2020? (nine voters all put their hand up again) All of you. You’re raising both hands. Would you say your support for the president now is more or less than it was when you first voted for him?

VOTERS: It’s more. More. A lot more.

RADFORD: More. And has the impeachment inquiry changed anything?

MALE VOTER 1: What inquiry?

FEMALE VOTER 1: It’s strengthened my love for him.

MALE VOTER 2: It’s galvanized our support.

RADFORD: So you support him more now.

MALE VOTER 2: We’re stronger than ever.

RADFORD: Have you all ever felt this level of passion for another president?

MALE VOTER 1: Oh, no.

FEMALE VOTER 1: No.

MALE VOTER 2: No. No.

RADFORD: What is it that you liked about the president?

FEMALE VOTER 1: As a Jewish woman in America who previously voted liberal, he has just astounded me in every way.

RADFORD: President Trump is the first time you have voted for a Republican?

FEMALE VOTER 1: Yes.

RADFORD: And what about you?

MALE VOTER 1: He made a statement at a conference one time to black America…

TRUMP: (8/19/16) What the hell do you have to lose?

MALE VOTER 1: And that stood out to me. I have nothing to lose, a lot to gain. The unemployment for black America is way down. And insurance is – cost is – is reasonable, and he’s done all his promises to me.

RADFORD: So you feel like your life has gotten better since…

MALE VOTER 1: Oh, definitely.

RADFORD: …the election.

MALE VOTER 1: Definitely.

MORGAN: When it comes to the impeachment inquiry, does that affect your perception of the president?

FEMALE VOTER 1: No, it doesn’t, and I think that the Democrats were going to find anything possible to impeach the president.

FEMALE VOTER 2: They always accuse us of racism, being homophobic, and it’s the furthest thing from the truth.

MALE VOTER 1: He has been fighting for us this whole time. We’re going to fight for him.

MORGAN: Every single person we spoke to said they like the man. They appreciated that he was not a traditional politician, and that he spoke to them directly.

Not really surprised people are falling for the sunny short term outlook.

Let's put it this way, Trump has paid someone to empty the trash in his house for his entire adult life. Beyond that he doesn't care what happens to it. And worse yet, he doesn't think he needs to. And that's a metaphor for the way he is running and RUINING the United States.

You can run capitalism without maintenance and it's much more profitable in the short term. Lots of people get fat and happy. I've seen nothing to indicate Trump is doing otherwise on any necessary scale.

If you ran a house like this, you would start saving money simply by delaying or reducing all the necessary tasks of upkeep. Put a cheap patch over the roof if it leaks. If the handrail on the stairs breaks just decide you don't need to replace. Save money and don't replace the air filter in the air conditioner. Stop paying for required service to keep things running. Instead of cleaning, you apply the strongest most dangerous poisons to kill vermin

WHAT YOU DO INSTEAD, while the house is still livable, is pocket the extra money and pretend this is success. You resort to letting the bills build up until you're deeper in hole than ever. You show the housemates the money you guys are now keeping and say MAGA and vote for the idiot who brings you this.

Eventually, the roof caves in, the bills collector come, the power goes off in the house, and everything is more expensive to fix. THE PARTY IS OVER.

Maintenance capitalism is more expensive and TRUMP DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE! It will all come due eventually if we keep going in this direction.

Btw, this is not an argument for socialism, but it is a criticism of the worst Republican policy I've ever seen.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Donny made the KY gov election all about him at his neo-Nazi rally last night.

Guess those rallies aren’t as potent as they once were.

At least he is open about it! I am sure that crossing ANY of our chief executives brought attacks, just probably more subtle than what is happening under Trump. By the way, I think that both the left and the right can agree on this.... Trump is NOT subtle!

CLAIM: Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland confirmed, contrary to earlier testimony, that there had been a “quid pro quo” between President Donald Trump and the Ukrainian government: military aid for “dirt.”

VERDICT: FALSE. Sondland said that he “presumed” there was a “quid pro quo.” But he did not have any first-hand knowledge of one, and other witnesses have testified that there was no such “quid pro quo” at all.

So now they're dropping quid pro quo
and screaming 'bribery!' everywhere.
