1. Republicans continued to lie in their questioning of Michael Cohen during Wednesday’s hearing. It’s a bizarre thing to watch a bunch of men lie while calling someone a liar

   I guess he missed Trump’s nominee for special envoy to Venezuela, Elliott Abrams—a convicted liar and war criminal—having his own hearing in front of Congress … less than two weeks ago

   Rep. Stephen Lynch, probably sick of having to listen to Republicans like Hice and probable sexual assault cover-upper Rep. Jim Jordan blather away about how no one should be allowed to testify, broke down exactly why we are having these hearings today. We are having these hearings today because the Republican Party didn’t do its job

   Rep. Lynch: Let me pick up on those last comments. Want to talk about a low point? Mr. Papadopoulos pled guilty, another indicted for obstruction of justice. For two years, you want to talk about an agenda, my friends on the other side of the aisle refused to bring anyone up before the committee. Today, we have one witness who voluntarily is coming forward to testify. Your side ran away from the truth. We are trying to bring it to the American people. So Mr. Cohen, thank you for voluntarily coming before the committee to testify

   Period

   • To Ronald Reagan:
     Why do you not use your real name and not hide behind an assumed name. In my view, it would help add credibility to your comments.

       Nothing personal, but I have absolutely no trust that political operatives such as yourself would not malign or otherwise cause issues for me and my friends. I’ve seen you in action, and I do not trust you based on past actions

       Time for another jelly bean

   • The Cohen hearing is a farce and sheds light on how destructive the liberals really are. More than all else it is a realistic indicator of how intent liberals are on destroying this country and democracy. I am super pleased with what is happening in the democrat/socialist/ communist party and I credit this to AOC, the most honest democrat since Johnson. She has effectively created a great shift and split in the party that will force moderate democrats to realize they are more in line with conservatives than liberals. Maybe most union workers will realize that the intent to make union wages the new minimum wage. This will be lost on most union workers of this highly educated liberal segment of our society who are unable to negotiate their own salary.

     • There was nothing destructive about how the Democrat party stood proud and tall to show that the two years of pandering and excuses by the GOP for Trump are over. A president who talks like a mob boss got protected by his GOP mob-boss wannabes. Cohen, a former Trump enforcer himself, made them all look ludicrous and vulnerable

       Cohen and his congressional testimony before the House Oversight Committee did not reflect well on the character of Trump. Cohen testified of Trump of committing crimes while in office, lying to the public about his business dealings in Russia and tacitly encouraging Cohen to do the same, and ordering Cohen to bully Trump’s alma maters out of releasing his school records

       It’s an obvious paradox that GOP representatives on the Oversight Committee are taking issue with Cohen over filling out forms incorrectly and being financially opaque as part of their effort to protect a president who emits provable falsehoods daily.

       The GOP characterized Cohen as a bully, which is apparently now a bad thing to be in their eyes. The GOP is operating as if this were merely a random person of low character assailing the unimpeachable dignity of a president, rather than one of the many criminals in this particular president’s close personal orbit impugning this particular president for crimes he did on the president’s behalf

       The GOP is pretending that the last two years didn’t just happen. We all know that the president is a liar, a serial sexual harasser, a business cheat, the plutocrat’s plutocrat. Trump is a man who flouts American political norms and even laws, who flaunts his ties to dictators like North Korea’s Kim Jong-un and Russia’s Vladimir Putin, a man who talks and acts disconcertingly like a mob boss. The corruption of the president and the men (and a few women) around him is obvious and demoralizing. The scandals break so frequently, we’re becoming inured to them

       Laughably, as the House Oversight Committee hearing began, GOP ranking member Jim Jordan and Freedom Caucus wingnut Mark Meadows did all they could to smear Cohen and shut it down, ostensibly because the committee received Cohen’s written testimony later than required. Chair Elijah Cummings and his fellow Democrats thwarted them by declaring “The days of this committee protecting the president at all costs are over”

       Exactly! Elections have consequences. and Trump and the GOP are learning that

       The minor GOP mafiosi never ONCE question ANYTHING about Trump, they used all of their time, all day, to defend Trump and demean Cohen, as well as Cummings and the Democrats, but they ultimately failed. Every time they smeared Cohen as a liar and a fraud, they implicitly reminded us that Trump employed this liar and a fraud as an attorney for 10 years. It was not a good look for them

       The country got to see its new Democratic House majority in action, including the three new women on the Oversight committee, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib. Ocasio-Cortez raised sharp questions about how Trump dodged taxes, Pressley drilled down on Trump’s racism, while Tlaib called out Meadows using black Trump aide Lynne Patton as a prop during the hearing to disprove Cohen’s claim that Trump is a racist

       On one level, the day felt like practice for long-overdue impeachment hearings. Our long national chronic illness, this mysterious antidemocratic infection we’re enduring, well, it’s not over. But we can maybe imagine a cure

       • The democrats took congress but not at the level expected, as a matter of fact, they were less successful than previous mid terms with first term presidents. Trump still has a solid base with high support numbers and there’s not one democrat that has a chance of beating him. Liberals may make a lot of noise but for the most part they are turning off Americans, liberals have made the terrible mistake of claiming they have a monopoly on brains because they graduated from Ozian U. I predict a second term for Trump and a continuation of implosion of the democrat party.

2. See no reason to keep MJ illegal, it’s a dangerous drug but seems to bring joy to liberals and their off
   springs who managed to escape planned parenthood. Marijuana is a life saver for fast food, hospitality industry and other low skilled jobs that do not require a drug test. All the good jobs are reserved for those who have good pee.The downside of marijuana is well documented, such as the amotivational factor. Most recovering addicts will tell you about the joys of marijuana and then how it betrays you. Most intelligent people will try MJ a couple of times and realize that if you are somebody going somewhere besides prison MJ cannot be part of your lifestyle. The governor probably realized this early on. Legalizing MJ is a major promise the liberal democrats have made to their constituents. If you want to keep your children under your roof tell them smoking MJ is A OK.
