Michael Cohen's House testimony

However, Trump’s approval ratings have been holding steady in the 40-42% range for the past year.

The Florida Bar has opened an investigation into Matt Gaetz.
Florida Bar Opens Investigation Into Gaetz Over Cohen Threat - TPM – Talking Points Memo?

When I was a kid and the fresh batch of cartoons for the new season were coming up I was always excited. They would air specials listing all the new shows that we could look forward to. That first day that Sigmund and Sea Monsters or The Hudson Brother Razzle Dazzle Show was on was better than Christmas for me. Today I remembered that feeling.

I almost called out sick but I decided to be a grown up. Instead I spent all day at work my headphones plastered to my head listening to C-Span Radio. Right in the middle of Cohen’s opening statement I got called to a department update meeting that turned into a twenty-five minute bitch session. They wouldn’t shut up and I just wanted to get back to my stream … I mean I just wanted to get back to work.

Holy shit, do the Republican sound pathetic. Every one of them, pretty much, has harped on his crimes, which he has already admitted to and is going to prison for, as a reason he can’t be trusted. Cummings made it clear right off the bat - Cohen gain’s nothing by lying. In fact, he gains nothing by telling the truth either. Fucker’s heading of to the Gray Bar Hotel. He could pull the pee-tape out of his coat and project onto Jim Jordan’s forehead and he’s still going to prison. On the other hand, if he lies, he probably stays in prison longer.

If this is all the Republicans have I may achieve orgasm by the end of testimony.

The commercials CNN airs in the daytime are baffling.

Trump is … shady. Ya, that’s the ticket. A great guy. Just a bit… shady. Nothing really to see here. Everyone just look away.

And Charlie here? He’s just a bit… rough. Ya, that’s it. A little rough around the edges our Charlie. Them guys just fell down a lot and then up and died. Poor Charlie was all broke up about it. Just a bit rough, that Charlie.

Not much gets by old Will!

Once again you cop out from the main thrust of a post. This is what Libertarians do.

Who said that?

Jamie Raskin, D-MD.

The commentator on CNN just said “Roger Stone is a known bullshitter”, uncensored, on daytime TV.

That’s unfortunate because then they can fall back on the “remember when you guys were upset we made a big deal over a blow job?”

Yes, these are not the same thing. But… Talking points.

The counter to that is “Yes, we sure do! And we’ll make sure you’re even more upset!”:smiley:

Thank you!

There was no thrust.

Being too stupid to figure out what it was is no excuse.

I’m not sure if that works as a talking point. It reminds people that Republicans impeached a President for trying to cover up a blow job.

In his defense, I believe he is only lying about being too stupid to figure it out.

Don’t say I never stood up for you, Willy.

Is there any sense/prediction about how long Cohen’s testimony will go on (i.e, days, weeks)?

This hearing is scheduled to end today. He also testifies tomorrow in a closed session with the Intel committee.

I would love nothing more than a D rep to ask him, “Do you like beer?”
