Oh FFS. Trump has the North Carolina MAGAts chanting "Send her back."

I'm not watching it...I won't be posting any of the clips from Twitter, either. This came via Chris Matthews showing the clip on "Hardball."

Jim Jacket Off Jordan is very, very, very upset over the House impeachment vote.

I'm convinced that when Jon Stewart reminded McConnell of his promise, he knew it would be broken

Of course, despite the fully justified anger Jon has with the process and his full recognition of McConnell's track record, he is STILL an "I'm going to give you every chance to keep your promise and do what is right" kind of guy.

That's admirable. It doesn't ease what happened with the blocked Senate vote, but it shows the content of his character (as well as McConnell's).

The Rand Paul stunt was bullshit, and there's no way of knowing if McConnell will even respond to Stewart, unless it's in the condescending "what's he getting so upset about" way he did the last time Stewart asked him to do what was right.

And YES, as others have said on DU, the money Paul is so worried about can be found in the tax cuts for the 1%, and in Trump's golf budget.

Ben Carson delivers a bold, unflinching, direct response to "What does Trump mean by go back?"

“Did you view the president’s tweets as racist?” (Fox News host Sandra) Smith wondered.

“I have the advantage of knowing the president very well,” Carson replied. “And he’s not a racist. And his comments are not racist. But he loves the country very much and he has the feeling that those that represent the country should love it as well.”

“The president suggested that they could go back to their countries,” Smith continued. “What did the president mean because he’s not taking back anything he said.”

“I think you can see what the president means by looking at his accomplishments,” Carson opined. “Under this president… you see low unemployment — record low for blacks, for Hispanics, for all the demographics of our nation.”

As expected, last night's vote has resulted in Trump ramping up his "Squad" bullshit

There have been a few conversations of MSNBC in the last week which boil down to this:

While Trump continues to regularly taunt Biden, in the absence of a final. confirmed Democratic candidate for 2020, Trump needs an "enemy" right now. He's only happy when he's in a fight, and the uglier the better. So, through endless repetition and childish / mysoginistic insults, he's attempting to brand "The Squad" as "The Face of the "Democrat" Party."

Nancy Pelosi SUCCESSFULLY entered Trump's name into the Congressional record, spelling out his racist behavior, and his response was to tweet a "WOW!" at the number of Republicans who "stood by him."

I'm not going to give any additional oxygen to his most recent tweets by sharing them here. What you'll see, if you choose to go to his Twitter feed and read them for yourself, is that tonight's MAGAt rally in NC will most likely be a full-throated campaign speech to his base, painting the "Democrat" party as the party of AOC & Co, peppered with every fear-mongering, conspiracy theory lie he can come up with regarding "what will happen" if a Democrat is elected in 2020.

We are NOWHERE NEAR "bottom." We're still soaring above the clouds when it comes to the depths he'll sink to in order to save his bloated hide and avoid the SDNY as "private citizen Trump" in January 2021.

PLUS, there's the new video of him "boogie-ing down" with Epstein in a cheerleader-filled room at Mar-A-Lago, and we're a week away from Mueller's testimony, unless Barr finds a way to run it off the rails.

We haven't seen the worst yet. But we see the direction he's taking. Last night was another WIN for Pelosi...she appropriately branded Trump, and by default, every Republican elected official who had his back.

Strap in, kids...bumpy ride ahead.

Hurd (TX), Upton (MI), Fitzpatrick (PA), Brooks (IN)...the 4 Rs who voted "yea"

Well, it's official. He's the f*cking #RacistInChief.

"House Votes To Condemn Trump's Racist Tweets"

(Current MSNBC Chyron)

HOLY SHIT, turn on MSNBC.

Don't want to spoil it for you, but something else is happening before the gaveling of the vote.

Doug Collins just called for Pelosi's remarks about Trump to be stricken from the record

"Point of order"...she said his comments were disgusting and racist and Collins interrupted as she finished, said that she could not characterize Trump, and apparently this is all being decided before / if they vote on it. My understanding is that if Collins gets his way, there will be NO vote.

It all happened pretty quickly so if anything I wrote needs correction, please do so.

McConnell: "The president is not a racist."

He was asked about his wife.

"She came here at age 8, and fulfilled the American dream, I'm a big fan of legal immigration."

The reporters failed to remind him that Ilhan Omar came her at age 12 and fulfilled the American dream."

Railed against Socialism.

Said "everyone" needs to "tone down the rhetoric."
