Trump is horrific.
Let me know when the modern democratic party stoops even half that low.
Played by Will Ferrell:When Cohen lists a couple of names and one of them is "Matthew Calamari" it all really just sounds like straight out of a movie/show.
Matthew Calamari.
Just....just damn.
Edit:
Holy shit he even looks the part
Gaetz is under investigation by the Florida Bar Association now. And Trump inaugural committee has been subpoenaed.
And it's only Wednesday.
Best hump day ever.

So you're saying Trump is no different than any other major politician/president in the US while ignoring the actions he's taken which are not consistent with this claim by suggesting everyone else also does the same thing but they just know how to keep it under wraps and therefore there's no evidence of their wrong doing? Okay then, enjoy laughing at the naive simpletons I guess.
Let's hope she doesnt get bought like Hillary. It's why I think cortez' age is actually an asset. She hasn't buckled to DC yet.
Talib embarrassed herself, unfortunately.
Ayyy it's Matty the Squid over here.
(EDIT: Matty Tentacles might be better, lol)

SO SHE ISN'T READY THEN....if we are waiting for her to make decisions and tough positions...
So you want the next president to be running with a low benchmark... okay then.
Harris. Gillibrand for example.
Yeah, it was mostly them. The final segment was quite spectacular
They invaded and occupied federal lands so their cows could graze off public property for free. You don't think they are capable of even worse?
The majority of people are too apathetic. Mostly bark. Also most people can't spare time or money to do such a thing.
It only takes a handful of people with weapons to create a horrible situation.
anyone find a good summary video? specifically looking for the line of questioning immediately following the hour+ break where all the illegal shit is laid out to which cohen confirms
Then it's no different than any other day in this country.
Well then what are you saying? Forgive me for jumping to wrong conclusions but everything you've posted so far indicates to me that you're saying Trump is not much worse than any other politician in his abuse of power and position but the difference is his attempts are known.
I like to think "a better Donald Trump" means Trump in jail. That would be a significantly better Trump.
No, Trump is demonstrably more racist, reactionary, and corrupt than most recent presidents. The thing I'm arguing against is the idea that a return to the 'normalcy' of the recent past is desirable. It's those conditions that gave rise to Trump, and in many cases they did things that were still horrific. So, the kind of platitudes that Cummings made in his closing speech about norms should be recognised for the dead end that they are. People certainly shouldn't regard them as inspirational or moving.
Damn, watching this late, and Jim Jordan is starting off hot with literally trying his damnedest to throw the scent off as hard as he can to try and smear Cohen (who, at this point, has smeared himself plenty enough, so I'm not sure what this accomplishes).
I have a feeling this is gonna be a pattern.
edit: Yep it's a pattern, tried and true.

I think there was only one Republican rep (Amash) that didn't attack Cohen's credibility. All the others focused on the fact that he lied before, and also tried to push the narrative that he'll be rich off book deals, etc. Enjoy.
Yeah, they get more incoherent as the session continues. The representative from the Virgin Islands gives them the HARDEST eye at the beginning, which is a pretty representative prelude to these proceedings.
There is no redemption for Cohen in my eyes, so Cummings closing remarks kind of fell flat for me. If he hadn't got caught he'd still be right there defending trump. He is not a good person and he never will be. He's just protecting himself. If that helps bring down trump, that's fine with me.
Rashida gives off a strong *I'll slap the shit out of you* vibe that I really like.
Just caught up on what I missed. Holy shit. Cohen going straight for Jim Jordan, Meadows bringing out a black woman to pull a "I have a black employee" card, Tlaib then giving Meadows a kick in the balls, AOC asking actual Trump related questions, and then Cummings heartfelt closing remarks. That was a ride.
GoP are powerless here because it's not about taking Cohen at his word or discrediting him.
Signed checks & financial statements can not be discredited. No amount of witness badgering or harassment or threats can refute physical evidence.

You forgot that we learned there are more crimes that he can't talk about that involve the president currently under investigation and that Jr is Executive #2.
I can give you highlight of what all the republicans said...
"Mr Cohen is a liar. We can't believe a liar. Just look at this article from Salon magazine and Vanity Fair"
