The DC delegate is now questioning Cohen on the pussy tape.
Not the party of Lincoln (and haven’t been for a long, long time no matter how many times they say it), but the party of McCarthy.
The delegate isn’t doing a very good job of asking her question, alas.
And Warren Harding.
Meadows drags out a black person to try and prove that Trump isn’t a racist.
Cohen counters that he shouldn’t have either.
Meadows is also a piece of work.
ETA:
“Let me finish.”
“No.”
As a Senator at a hearing in the House, why is he allowed to ask any questions at all?
Ah, because Trump wasn’t openly racist to a black lady, he’s therefore not a racist. It must really suck trying to defend the indefensible.
All of the Orange Shitberg’s protectors are used, diseased scumbags, and that could be considered insulting to used, diseased scumbags.
I forgot which chamber this was, that’s why.
A lot of people who did would have been arrested for it since they lacked the resources of Trump (I guess the Libertarian way is that the rich can get out of going to war so they can just let the poors do it).
Additionally, he probably lied to get out of it (a lie that he was able to make work thanks to his wealth, see the previous sentence).
Finally, the president is the commander in chief of our armed forces. Calling people who served previously as “stupid” is not a good look from someone in that position.
But sure, we definitely would have gotten out of Vietnam or never even got into it in the first place if only we had a nation of rich liars who decided doing was “stupid.”
Not really. Back then there were enough Republicans with some moral sense and a greater devotion to the welfare of the country than to their party that they might take action. It’s still good to get this stuff on the record in advance of the 2020 elections, though.
Cohen says Trump directed his companies to misreporting his assets so his ranking on the Forbes 400 would increase every year and to get a loan.
If he’s glued to Fox News right now, he’s watching Cohen testify. Really. I checked. They are covering the entirety of the hearing, just like CNN and MSNBC. I’m actually watching it on Fox. I want to see if their commentators break in. So far, they haven’t,
“These are not documents.”
Hice: Is also a dipshit.
“Democrat Party”. Take a shot!
“Take a SHOT?” It’s 11:52 on a Wednesday morning in Washington…
The most famous quote from the Watergate hearings - “What did the president know and when did he know it?” - came from a Republican. That’s the difference between now and then.
