This is more worrying than almost anything else I've heard

This is the stuff of monarchies and dictatorships.

No one is willing to correct the Great Leader?

This is what is going on with our military?

We may be well and truly fucked if we are now in the place where no one is willing to speak even this sort of trivial truth to power.

This is embarrassing.

Bloomberg can so go fuck himself...

Fuck this guy.

Would like to tax this arrogant prick into absolute penury. Or introduce him to a guillotine.

I endorse this.

Didn't realize there was any question about this.

It was so obvious to me when Pompeo went to Saudi immediately after the story blew up that I assumed it was common knowledge that the Trump regime had leaped in to help MBS to weather the shit storm.

I just added it mentally to the growing list of unspeakable Trump atrocities.

Didn’t realize it needed proving or corroboration. Of course, Pompeo discussed the murder and offered US help. Anything for one of Trump’s creditors, right?

The overt corruption and that our global policy is utterly deformed by Trump business calculations is so obvious that I’m sometimes taken aback by these sorts of stories.

But I’m glad they’re being reported on. I keep hoping the burning revulsion I feel will spread to all but that lost 30-35% will forgive any crime committed by these human monsters.

Same schtick...

Idiot needs to get some new material.

Always pulls this crap. Never knows anyone even when there is plenty of documentation.

The schtick is officially old. Isn’t working. Won’t start working again.

If the Republican leadership in the Senate weren’t as corrupt as Douche Bag Boy I’d say game over. But those dirty fuckers won’t vote to convict unless they believe that they’ll lose their jobs come November 2020.

Did someone question why Lt. Colonel Vindman is in his dress blues?

It is required in this kind of setting.

He would be in violation if he appeared in anything else.

She's really going after him

This is wonderful. Madam Speaker was reluctant to go to impeachment. But once she made her decision she’s been all in.

She knows that he knows he is not a legitimate President. He knows he usurped the office with the help of the Russians.

So, she pokes him on that sore spot. And then, she says his crimes are worse than Nixon’s. Trump knows that Nixon deserved to be impeached and convicted. That, after all, is why Nixon resigned.

This woman is good. Real good.

The Russian MO

Not the first person to be thrown off his balcony by the Russians. Or was it the Turks this time.

Regardless, this was not an accidental death.

How can this man live with himself?

He is making such an ass of himself.

How can he keep going? The transcripts are all BS?

That’s now the non-argument. First the ad hominem attacks. The when that didn’t work attack the process because it was all supposedly secret even when there were plenty of Republicans on each of the committees.

Now when the process is going public and the transcripts
are available they are all bullshit.

That all ya got Lyndsey? Really?

What the fuck do people have on you? Does it involve young boys?

I mean, WTF?

Don't get it either...

My wife and I pay a good chunk for our private insurance. It is good insurance but it is a PPO and you have to make damn sure you stay in network or whatever you’re buying is not covered at all until you reach a huge deductible.

If you go to the emergency room you better be going to an in-network hospital and hope that no out of network physician consults on your case or that bill won’t be covered. This is called a surprise bill and Texas has tried to make it illegal, but don’t think it is yet.

I would drop this plan like a hot rock. Even fee-for-service with a Medicare supplement plan would be far superior.

Our private insurance system is a nightmare.
