What I learned today...

Devin Nunes isn't terribly bright.

Ambassador Volker is uniquely naive.

Can't help but compare the demeanor of Lt. Col. Vindman when the GOP tried to smear him during questioning to Brett Kavanaugh's crying & screaming.

lt's as if you can't get flustered when you are telling the truth. It's also the difference between a sense of duty as opposed to a sense of entitlement. 

In a courtroom, truth is the best defense.

Trump claimed he got the permits for a LA facility that got its permits under Obama. He claimed he was responsible for a PA facility Shell decided to build under Obama. Yesterday he claimed to have "opened" a TX plant that's made Apple products since 2013.

This dummy lies about stuff that can so easily be refuted.

Trump also excavated the Grand Canyon to for the tears he sheds for never getting a hug from his daddy.

Nunes was sweating profusely & wondering why his buddy Trump wasn't there to toss him some paper towels.

According to Napolitano of Fox news, overwhelming evidences of impeachable offenses by Trump.  Bribery, election law violation, lying under oath, interference with witness and obstruction of justice.  Everybody knows house of representatives would probably indict Trump but republican senate wouldn't impeach him.  However this won't help Trump in competitive 2020 election because it could just be another reason to vote for anyone else except Trump.  Historically,  American voters don't trust governments and often can vote either way.

U.S.Navy Secretary Richard Spencer is considering resigning over Trump's handling of the case of a SEAL accused of murder. He has told the WH that a tweet isn't an official order.

I don't think this is going to end well for him.

Justice Ginsburg is in the hospital again ..third or fourth time this year..

Pentagon is opposed to Trump's controversial pardons of solidiers accused of war crimes.  His move undermines military justice system and send wrong message that battlefield atrocities would be tolerated. 

Previously, Trump's pardon of ex-sheriff Arpaio is a endorsement of racism according to American civil liberty union.  Recently, New York state has passed a law to charge individuals pardoned by presidents.

I just read that Trump has once again backed away from his position & will not interfere.

Rumors ...not fact.

The U.S. Navy Secretary said on Saturday he did not threaten to resign amid a disagreement with President Donald Trump over whether a Navy SEAL convicted of battlefield misconduct should face a board of peers who may oust him from the elite force.

Spencer said “good order and discipline is also obeying orders from the president of the United States,”

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) was asked on Fox News whether Russia or Ukraine was responsible for hacking DNC and Clinton campaign emails in 2016. “I don’t know,” he said, adding that it could’ve been Ukraine.

This guy was Gomer Pyle before Gomer Pyle. You can't fix stupid.

This bullshit didn't last long.

The Naval Secretary has been fired.

Spencer went around his own chain of command... namely Defense Secretary Mark Esper... and straight to the White House, a violation of military policy..

According to thehill, Trump is betraying another 2016 campaign pledge for medicare.  He refuses to support a new bill from house to negotiate lower drug prices with drug companies.  Other countries have nowhere near the problem of ridiculously high prices. Their prices are regulated to ensure healthcare remains affordable for most citizens.  However US government allows companies to set their own prices. Unfortunately, Americans pay the highest prices in the world.  One in four Americans report trouble in paying for prescription drugs.

"I cannot in good conscience obey an order that I believe violates the oath I took." Secretary Spencer

Trump holds his oath as sacred as his wedding vows.

Chain of command is important in any organization but in the armed forces it's essential.

When chaos exists, circumvention of these norms becomes more evident.

Trump told Bill "No Spin" O'Reilly he didn't direct Rudy to act on his behalf in the Ukraine.

Didn't the "transcript" Trump wants everyone to read state Zelensky was told by Trump to speak with Rudy?

Trump was in rare form last night at his rally in Sunrise, FL.

He tried to convince his cult that people no longer want to use the term Thanksgiving. Even these sheep in attendance didn't believe him.

Not just any people, progressive voices have been calling for Thanksgiving to be declared a National Day of Mourning for years.

These people have been turn out in the hundreds for almost 50 years in Massachusetts,for the  annual National Day of Mourning on Cole's Hill at Plymouth Rock...

If, I remember correctly didn't Obama apologize to Native Americans for centuries of injustice?

These people are rejects from the Tea Party & Birthers who are just mad at the world because things have just not worked out for them.
