Jim Crow style voter suppression. The Southern states have NEVER believed in democracy or a republic that is representative of the will of the people. They are the core of the Republican party. That is what we are dealing with.

Maybe some liberal do-gooder can pay off the felons' fines and fees, and it is a win-win.

1) Felons' debts are paid
2) State gets the money owed
3) Felon votes
4) Liberal do-gooder feels good helping out

A Very Stable Genius review: dysfunction and disaster at the court of King Donald

Pelosi's Niners win. **** Pence and T.

Wait I thought Trump Inc wasn't looking at any foreign deals during the presidency. That's what they said!

In other news, today is an exciting day because Trump's legal team has unveiled their weak arguments against impeachment so all our RWNJs will return now armed with C+ legal arguments.

Lest you forget how a sizable portion of the country views things;

Piers Morgan: Trump's got Davos cheering the US economy



https://mol.im/a/7916377



...and then there's always reality as an option:

Trump dismisses US troops' injuries in Iran attacks as 'headaches'



https://mol.im/a/7916331

The beauty of the working class part of his base is that their hate, fear and ignorance is allowing tRump and his rich buddies to loot the country via tax cuts, insider trading, and using the power of his office to leverage business deals for personal gain....at their cost. NEVER GIVE A SUCKER AN EVEN BREAK.

1. Trump second-guesses the Korean War
Trump at one point during a discussion on trade suggests that the Korean War wasn't worth fighting.

"South Korea? I could write a book on them," Trump says. He added: "How we ever got involved in South Korea in the first place, you know? Tell me about it how we ended up in a Korean War? We're fighting a Korean War to keep these two places from " (Trump then trails off).

(For those unaware, North Korea invaded South Korea. Given other events around the time, including in China, there was concern that communists would take over Asia.)

Questioning round begins, and so far both sides are just asking set up questions. But man, Schiff keeps slapping WH counsel's own words back at their face. No wonder RWNJs hate him this much.

The difference in quality of counsel is staggering. It says a lot that Trump has had so much difficulty finding reputable counsel to defend him. Anyone decent has run away from him, if they weren't smart enough not to answer the phone (which most were).

GOP: House should have enforced subpoena and gone to court.

Also GOP: Hearing from witness in Senate trial will drag out too long, because WH will definitely go to court.

I am president. I believe it is the public interest that the president go to work each day happy. Hookers and blow make me happy. I will fund that habit by selling an original copy of the Declaration of Independence and selling off pardons and veto rights to the highest bidder. It's all in the public interest because as President my interest IS the public interest.

At what point does this guy jump the shark enough for Republicans to at least say, okay Donald we are with you, but you gotta step back a few paces from this line.

How about that 3% GDP growth we were promised (if not 4, 5 or 6%)? Looks like full year 2019 came in at 2.3% with 2.1% in Q4. I guess at least it won't stop from pretending this is the best economy ever and ignoring how much liquidity the fed is using to prop up the markets.

...one can only assume that tRump will now direct his henchman Billy "Igor" Barr to launch a Justice Dept. investigation of Speaker Pelosi.

" This is a special place, Trump's America. It's the kind of country where senators can openly surrender their principles and power out of fear for their own reelection. It's the kind of country where half of Congress can cheer race-baiting radio stars and a president who demonizes immigrants.

And it's the kind of country where a president's speechwriters can just give up on the whole speechwriting thing to list a bunch of randomly famous American names to wind up one final Trumpian state of the union.

"This is the home of Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Amelia Earhart, Harriet Tubman, the Wright Brothers, Neil Armstrong, and so many more," Trump said as his speechwriting staff threw in the towel. "This is the country where children learn names like Wyatt Earp, Davy Crockett, and Annie Oakley."

One day they will learn the name of Donald Trump too. He's the guy who put kids in cages, watched TV all day, and made a Space Force. He got caught lying and cheating but there were no referees, so he never stopped."

If you hold a position that serves at the pleasure of the president you better be damn sure before participating in an effort to get the president impeached.
