For those of you keeping score at home today, Trump and his administration have openly admitted to:

1. Quid Pro Quo shakedowns for political dirt based on bullshit conspiracy theories
2. Blatant, in your face violations of the Emoluments Clause
3. Facilitating ethnic cleansing.


That's just today.


Today!

This is why there need to be multiple articles of impeachment, covering more than just Ukraine.

Based on what he could say tonight he could be tweeting in defense tomorrow so we are two cycles of chaos away. I suspect the defense strategy now is to admit everything maybe something they have not done (which is hard to imagine).

what's the big deal? Those Dems are making something out of nothing."

This is what they want their base to see. If it is out in the open it must be OK, so it makes sense to his deplorables.

This is their MO. They use it every time because it works.

Years ago Karl Rove mocked people who lived in what he called the "reality-based community" and believed that "solutions emerge from judicious study of discernible reality." Rove noted, "That's not the way the world really works anymore...We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality...And while you're studying that reality, judiciously, as you will, we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out...We're history's actors...and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do."
