He stopped everything because he was being outed as a racist?
I guess the R word is worse than the N word.
She's a house rep, not a senator...She is making waves like I havent seen a senator do since before any of us were alive.
I'll bet she was threatened with a firing from the Trump org job she has if she didn't.Wouldn't matter if I genuinely believed my boss wasn't racist. If someone wanted to drag me to congress and use me as a "one black friend" human prop on live tv, I'd tell them to fuck off. Some people have no shame.
That's what Frank Luntz brought to American politics.Talking points. Short, sweet, memorable and easily repeatable.Which is why I don't think Republicans give a fuck about actually making coherent arguments or coming off as dignified. All they care about is providing soundbites that can be chopped up and fed to the brainwashed masses watching Fox.
*Wink*
Don't forget that anyone in Trump's good graces has like a 30% chance of being named a senior level cabinet secretary. She's probably on the short list to replace Wilbur Ross after standing up for Trump yesterday.I was utterly dismayed by that too. I could not fathom why she would want to be a part of that charade. I would not allow anyone to parade me like a prop for a speech.
Don't worry they are all about decorum. /sWhy the fuck do they allow a big poster of michael cohen that says "liar liar pants on fire" to hang behind the committee during his testimony? Seriously what the fuck.
Who works under a NDA.
Real easy to speak for her when she is afraid of losing her job.
Her response..I'll bet she was threatened with a firing from the Trump org job she has if she didn't.
Annnd we're done here.'I'm tired of politicians who lie and cheat. *beat* I support Donald Trump.'
LOL.
By a racist no less.For someone so highly educated, she should know what the definition of "prop" is. And yes, they used her as a prop.
We already knew that, but is are there going to be any consequences for him?
They spent a bunch of taxpayer money to fly 17 thousand miles (back & forth) for authentic Vietnamese food.
and she's happy to be used as a prop it seemsFor someone so highly educated, she should know what the definition of "prop" is. And yes, they used her as a prop.
Hard to tell for us. But yes, i certainly got that impression.For someone so highly educated, she should know what the definition of "prop" is. And yes, they used her as a prop.
That is sad. They seem extremely malicious and constantly ready to twist and turn the news on events to actively lie to people. Willingly.Sadly its most watched "cable news" in the USA and a large portion of the population take everything they say as gospel and 100% truth :(.

So are we going to see some subpoenas on all those names Cohen dropped?
They're probably inflated anyway. Even if they are on the low side. I've have yet to see any sign of intelligence from him.It seemed to me that the committee might go after Weisselberg (Trump Org CFO) next and also get serious about subpoenaing Trump's tax returns. At the very least, these were the two things that Cohen was signposting repeatedly during the hearing.
Of course, I'm hoping that we'll also see Trump's SAT scores at some point simply for the lulz.
Well, this was just Cohen. There is more. So hopefully at the end of it all, the orange fuck goes away.So ultimately how did this turn out? Bad? Was it a nothing burger? I tried to keep up yesterday but wasn't able to.
When I heard him open and say "President Trump is a racist, a conman, and a cheat." I just immediately rolled my eyes and sighed. Not because I disagree, but because I know I just saw the news byte. That's the only thing we'll ever see from the testimony on the news networks who are only interested in sensationalism and not substance
lmao, Twitch chat can be awful some days, and incredible on others. The hive mind in a chat can come up with some seriously funny stuffI killed me every time the chat went "NEW LORE" every time Cohen dropped new tidbits.
We already knew that, but is are there going to be any consequences for him?
If you didn't think Trump was a racist or liar before, this wouldn't sway you, like the R reps, you'd just argue about Cohen's trustworthiness and completely ignore the fact that his previous lying implicates your hero. If you thought Trump was unfit for office before, well, this didn't really bring up anything you didn't know.
I still can't wrap my head around Black Republicans who roll deep with obvious racists.
If I were lazy and pulling from the conservative playbook I would accuse congress of trying to violate someone's freedom of speech by trying to get them under oath say they will not write a book about their experience, but also I'm eating breakfast so you know, got a lot on my plate at the moment.Everything about the Republican party is so frustratingly hypocritical. Yeah as if any congressperson has a leg to stand on when it comes to book deals.
npr had the whole thing on the radio live where I liveAs someone who primarily gets his news from NPR, and I listened a bit today, all they seemingly had to play over and over again was the 5 seconds where Michael Cohen called Trump a racist and a bigot.
Why not more clips of actual discussion on the floor, like this? This helps me understand what's going on. A hot clip that loses steam in 10 minutes as soon as they invite multiple republican house members to talk their way around that.. I can only assume television news coverage is worse, as I tend to consider NPR comparatively highly. We really need a revolution in media. I get more out of audio and video of actual government discussions and I bet most people would too. Instead it's like it needs to be softened, dampened, selected into the most cliche and stereotypical partisan statements, throwing the rest into the void.

Rather it's so that Trump can say to people, "I served my country in Vietnam."They spent a bunch of taxpayer money to fly 17 thousand miles (back & forth) for authentic Vietnamese food.
How do we explain Meadows' best friendship with Cummings?I still can't wrap my head around Black Republicans who roll deep with obvious racists.
We already knew that, but is are there going to be any consequences for him?
I mean, she's an employee that willingly works for him.
This has to be satire...
But well, at least one person got persuaded by Trump, that he is the POTUS who has done the most for black people...
