Politics-What's on your mind?

So now Trump has attended the March for Life, something no other U.S. president has ever done. He spent a lot of time talking about God - Whom I think he has no interest in - and "unborn children" - whom I think he doesn't give a rat's a** about. He was clearly just pandering for votes.

ABC News has reviewed a recording of what they say “appears” to be President Trump speaking about wanting former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch fired. On the tape, the voice that appears to be Trump can be heard saying of Yovanovitch, “Get rid of her! Get her out tomorrow. I don’t care. Get her out tomorrow. Take her out. OK? Do it.”

The report goes on to cite sources who say the recording was made by Igor Fruman during an intimate dinner in 2018 at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. Both Fruman and Lev Parnas were indicted for campaign-finance violations in October 2019 and are former associates of Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani.

I'd give Trump Ukraine if he and his administration just get the Hell out of the Arctic.

"In May 2019, ( Mike) Pompeo acted against environmental protection at the Arctic Council. He refused to sign on to a joint statement addressing the need for protection of the Arctic region from the threat of rapidly melting ice unless all mentions of climate change were removed from the document. He stated "climate change is actually good for the Arctic, since melting ice caps are 'opening up new shipping routes' and thus making it more economically viable to expand oil drilling in the region."

Wikipedia. (Not the Bible but probably a reasonably accurate source on this one.)

I guess someone did do their homework for their Wikipedia entry.

IF these dainty politicians can't handle a simple comment like that, how on earth will they EVER be able to handle a tough opponent in their re-election campaign..

The movie "CATS" has had some terrible reviews, imdb lists its rating presently as 2.8 out of 10 !! (lol)

On another site, I saw a warning about this film:

to the effect that watching it "might cause brain damage".

Since I had already diligently watched all of witnesses testifying as the Dems were preparing their Impeachment brief, I skipped Schiff's presentation, and only caught some of his presentation on the news, and yes it was very well done, absolutely excellent.

However, having seen a few of the incoherent Republican arguments on the news, I thought that it might be useful to also warn people that watching the Republican arguments might also cause brain damage; and then it occurred to me that anyone who agreed with what they were putting forward had already suffered from brain damage, and that they all should be immediately picked up and placed under medical surveillance. Trump and his Republicans really know their voting base.

President Trump expressed frustration on Twitter over the fact that his "lawyers will be forced to start on Saturday, which is called Death Valley in T.V.

If I can just recycle an old Seinfeld joke...(his of course pertained to blood on your clothes and laundry)

IF you've got lawyers defending you in an impeachment hearing, perhaps low TV ratings aren't your biggest problem!

Former national security adviser John Bolton came under fire on Sunday over a report that was published in The New York Times that claimed that Bolton said in his upcoming book that President Donald Trump directly tied financial assistance to Ukraine with Ukraine announcing an investigation into Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden.

“President Trump told his national security adviser in August that he wanted to continue freezing $391 million in security assistance to Ukraine until officials there helped with investigations into Democrats including the Bidens, according to an unpublished manuscript by the former adviser, John R. Bolton,” The New York Times reported. The Times added that one of the reasons that Bolton now wants to testify is that he is afraid that “he will be accused of holding back to increase his book sales.”

Immediately following the publication of the Times’ report, Democrats and the media began to call on Republicans in the Senate to allow new witnesses to be brought into Trump’s impeachment trial.

I think Mike Bloomberg should put up one ( or two ) of his billions as a prize to be paid to the first person identifying any of the women paid or forced by Trump to have an abortion...maybe even including all his family members whose names end with an "a". This prize might be extended to protect anyone willing to break a non-disclosure agreement.

Come on Mike. You can do this.
