I am always suspicious of the walk out strategy. Fart of the Deal stuff. Then leak out the 3rd rate comment, and Trump on calling Jim Mattis, "the world's most overrated general".

"You know why? He wasn’t tough enough," Trump said, according to the aides. "I captured ISIS. Mattis said it would take two years. I captured them in 1 month."


Psssst, ISIS is not dead.

Trump tweets photo of Pelosi at White House meeting, accuses her of 'meltdown'


It remains on confirmed if he said "no I didn't melt down, you melted down" as he pushed the button to post the tweet.

@Moma, that is pretty shocking. I am just wondering how many other similar letters exist displaying a complete lack of adeptness, much less capability, in what apparently is our current foreign policy strategy.

There is just so many tidbits I'm not even sure what is important anymore.

Rick Perry says he was told to talk to Rudy about Ukraine?

Sondland is an unqualified crook basically who also asked Ukraine about Hunter Biden during a WH visit?

Also fucking Trump tried to spring on some grieving parents the person who murdered their son?

Pro Publica has some news about Trump taxes?

Everything gets lost it feels.

Oh and tweeted a photo of Pelosi owning him because? Which was after a letter came out that looked like it was written by a middle school boy?

I dunno. Feels like it is piling up and mattering.

But agree that it's tough to pick individually what matters and what doesn't.

Literally every day, or at least weekday, for the past month or so, something has happened with the Trump administration that would have been a month long scandal in a previous administration. It is so bad and so frequent that we can't really process the individual lashes. But with more people speaking about the Ukraine stuff and more GOP lawmakers losing their minds at Trump demonstrating his true colors with this Syria/Kurds/Turkey shit in a way that wounds stuff they actually care about, I do think it matters.

Also Bolton seems to be going to war against the administration

Which is really good, and really bad for Mr. Trump

George Will has become startlingly scathing in his criticism of the GOP.

These are indeed disturbing times.

Feels like the partial list CBall aggregate of what has happened up to Wednesday (of stuff we know about) came from the writers room for Trumps next stop on the grievance tour. He’s so poorly treated.

RIP Elijah Cummings

I am sure the Trumpanzees are having a field day on Twitter over this news.

Edit: The comments section of the Fox News piece is a perfect crystalization of the rotten, racist soul of America. Fuck these assholes!

Looks li9e FOX News felt some shame because I don’t see that there is a comments section on this story anymore.

Katie Hill who is one of the first termers is the Vice Chair. Seems wild if she now becomes the chair considering the importance of the comittee going forward.
