Graham Vows To Have Whistleblowers Testify Publicly

Fox News reports:

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., vowed to expose the anonymous whistleblowers against President Trump if Democrats move forward with impeachment; at the same time, he warned against Trump having China pursue an investigation of Joe Biden.

A second unidentified whistleblower was confirmed Sunday morning, reportedly with firsthand information to support some of the allegations another whistleblower made in a complaint filed in August regarding a July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

“Here’s what’s going to happen: if the whistleblowers’ allegations are turned into an impeachment article it’s imperative that the whistleblower be interviewed in public, under oath, and cross-examined,” Graham told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures,” promising that “if that doesn’t happen in the House, I’ll make sure it happens in the Senate.”

Senator Lindsey Graham just vowed to break US federal law, which states that all intel community whistleblowers are ENTITLED to anonymity. There is no law they will not break in the Trump cult.

Anne Sacoolas Identity revealed of diplomat's wife who fatally hit British teen and claimed immunity

Source: Sky News

The wife of a US diplomat who fatally hit a British teenager and left the country is Anne Sacoolas, Sky News can reveal.

Mrs Sacoolas, 42, has claimed diplomatic immunity and left the UK for America after 19-year-old Harry Dunn was killed in a head-on collision while riding his motorbike.

Police believe Mrs Sacoolas was on the wrong side of the road as she emerged from Northamptonshire's RAF Croughton on 27 August.

Sky News is naming her after earlier revealing a deal gives diplomats and their families at the US spy base diplomatic immunity.

This lad was killed because she was driving on the wrong side of the road over the brow of a hill. She told police that she has no intention to leave UK jurisdiction then high tailed it back to the US. Diplomatic immunity my arse. She is married to someone who does stuff, and therefore gets to escape any investigation of what happened that night. That sticks.

A Tale of Two (fucked up) Countries

The United Kingdom versus the United States. Trump V Brexit. In less than FOUR YEARS our nations are unrecognisable. Which has been worse? It is a close call.
In the left corner sits the world’s last superpower. With a head of state who is seemingly not capable of loyalty to his own country.
In the right corner since post Empire superpower wannabee. With a head of state who has not been elected but thinks he has the right to ever change our constitution to fit in with the far-right dream of a deregulated world.

So in one corner we have a head of state who was duly elected by a bunch of far right nasty, in a general election… in the other corner a leader who was duly elected by a tiny proportion of the population, the vast majority of whom are demonstrably male, pale and stale.

Other than that..

They are both self-serving liars without a shred of irony, shame or sincerity.
They are both unconcerned about the impact of their policies on jobs, healthcare, food and environmental safety standards, employment protection or human rights on our communities.
They are both leaders of cults. The Trump Cult and the Brexit Cult. They are both extraordinary manipulators of the credulous and the fearful.

How quickly things can fall apart.

We need to find a pathway to lance these particular boils...

I think there is no competition here. We are equally fucked

Snollygoster's

Heard a chap use this to describe BoJo on the radio today and of course went to look it up as I have never heard the word before. How fitting a descriptor for both Trump and Boris.
Based on the four most common dictionary definitions..

Brilliant word!

If Trump fans did Shakespeare



Continuing with the Shakespeare theme as it seems to be my new thing,... won't last of course but I am currently enjoying the paradox of using the writings of someone who most trumpsters have probably never heard of to describe them. It amuses me

They don't need to care.

White Privileged Republican Women like to say that they don’t care about reproductive rights and freedoms nearly as much as they care about job creation and a strong economy.

You know why?

It gives them cover on their anti-female agenda and because for these hypocrites, that are the enablers of White Privileged Republican Men, if they have ever needed birth control or an abortion, their privilege ensures immediate access whatever their public opinion on these matters might be.

They don’t need to care so they don't.
