If anyone is curious about that link, it goes to an article with a headline of "Former Trump Chief of Staff John Kelly tells Sarasota crowd ’I believe John Bolton’"

Asked about the passages in Bolton's book — which has yet to be released — that appear to reinforce the impeachment allegations, Kelly said Monday evening that "John's an honest guy. He's a man of integrity and great character, so we'll see what happens."

Also Jared Kushner’s long awaited Middle East peace plan has dropped.

U.S. officials say President Donald Trump’s long-awaited Middle East peace plan calls for the creation of a State of Palestine with its capital in portions of east Jerusalem, ending speculation as to whether his administration, in preparing a proposal without input from Palestinian leaders, would abandon a “two-state resolution” to the conflict.

Nothing like trying to solve a conflict between two parties by not including one of the parties in the process.

Every time a President flies into ACY we get all kinds of emails about where to line up to see him and AF1. Guess this one knows we all despise him.

His look is definitely of a guy who might have been kicked out of his place. That said, it is also a very common style for retired military officers.

Ronald Reagan's corpse could climb up out of its grave and yell, "J'accuse!"; it would make no difference. I am not sure Jesus would either.

Wildwood’s newly elected Democratic Mayor says he’s been told by Van Drew that he’s not welcome at rally because he is seeking reimbursement

I tripped on to C-SPAN radio. I didn't know it was a thing. They were taking calls from people, perceptions of these people have been very enlightening. I don't know if there's some kind of active campaign to get the talking points out or if these people are just regurgitating what they hear at the impeachment trial. It was pretty stunning to hear callers, some of whom I find disingenuous, just giving out proven falsehoods or moving forward with baseless information.

Several outlets reporting McConnell does not have the votes to stop witnesses. Some random NBC guy tweeted the opposite. Here we go.

so since the senators are a jury, when trump calls them to tell them to vote no, is that jury tampering??

If it took Kushner three years to come up with that plan, the rumors about him being dumb are true. Israel keeps East Jerusalem, the settlements, gets the Jordan Valley and the Palestinians get vague promise of economic investments and some shitty land in the Negev? A small child could have come up with this plan in about three minutes if you briefed them with some basic right wing talking points and gave them a map.

Watched most of the rally tonight. He didn't utter a word about the trial or witch hunts. Wonder if McConnell definitely told him he didn't have the votes so he backed off instead of stirring the pot. Not his style. Weird. Very low energy rally compared to others. Trump was pretty subdued. Seemed more like a funeral. Fox News cut him off for Carlson.
