The 20-Second Smoking Gun

On Twitter today, Trump supporters were taking victory laps because Elise Stafanik was able to get two witnesses to state that they heard no mention of extortion, bribery, or withholding of military aid. If you watch those 4 minutes of questioning, you’ll hear some sound bites that Republicans will surely use to “prove” Trump’s innocence.

Except that they didn’t.

Second of the two clips..

The official @WhiteHouse Twitter account is now basically a shitposting dumpster fire one would normally find being run by FreedomEagle1776RollTide


The solemn dignity of the office....good grief. Where the fuck are the grown ups? Never mind how ridiculous this is and how disrespectful... are there not any grown ups anywhere in the White house?

This elderly Northern lady has just produced the best joke on Brexit to date

For those looking for a fun one to add to their list of dinner party lols, here it is:

Did you know that Oxo have brought a new cube out for Brexit?

*Wait for someone to kindly humour you by responding that no, they did not.*

Do you know what it's called?

And then... the punchline:

Laughing stock.

Pompeo: "I'm proud of what this administration has done with respect to Ukraine. We reversed the...

...massive failures of the Obama administration.”

Everyone else with two or more brain cells knows that...

Obama failures are as in ...fuck all, none, nadda, zero…

We were not witness to one example of...

o indictments
o ethics issues
o personal & business financial grift
o investigations
o affairs
o witness intimidation
o quid pro quo, blackmail, extortion
o kissing the nasty arse of totalitarians 101 aka Russia, NK, & Turkey/Syria
o embarrassing the entire country
o emoluments issues
o denials of climate change and withdrawal from climate accords
o questions of integrity, character, ethics
o delusional lying
o nazi rallies
o putting others in danger with his rhetoric
o constitutional issues
o the world laughing @ the supposed leader of the free world for being a complete and utter simpleton

....yeah, we will take Obama any day of the week. Fuck off you sycophantic enabler of a half wit bastard.

The era when simple common decency is a radical concept...



BECAUSE



Exactly, At this point they are too far gone to be considered a political party at all.. They need to be spanked really hard at the ballot box next year to be taught the error of their ways.

New challenger emerges for title of 'Most Memorable Royal Car Crash'

In the almost hour-long interview, the Duke of York gave the distinct impression that having had ten-thousand men would be a long way from the worst skeleton in his closet.

Viewer Simon Williams told us, “When you think ‘royal car crash’, there’s really only one thing you can think about, but I think that might be about to change.

“Yes, Prince Philip gave it a go last year by rolling his Range Rover into a ditch, but that was nothing compared to Prince Andrew taking to national television to explain why he doesn’t sweat and to promote the memorable experience one can enjoy at Pizza Express in Woking.

“All that stuff about him not sweating was actually one of the more believable aspects of his interview. Anyone who knows anything about lizards knows they don’t have sweat glands.

“But after nearly an hour I have to say I’ve never seen anything like it, and I can imagine over the coming days the picture of him scrambling to find plausible answers to Maitliss’ questions will become the go-to memory whenever anyone thinks of ‘royal car crash’.

“I doubt Elton John is penning a new ditty though.”

Spontaneous ovation tonight at a DC jazz club for #MarieYovanovitch. Grateful for your courage and integrity, Ambassador! #Impeachment #ImpeachTrump


All of this... including the fact she was embarrassed by the attention. Just brilliant.
