This is beautiful. We may get a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington series of patriots (of course, they're not elected, but why quibble) lining up to do right in the face of wickedness.Â
Will it be enough to destroy the GOP criminal enterprise? The whispers about a break away group of GOPs might mean yes. Some clean GOPs (I suspected there might be some) breaking ranks could be the subsequent domino.
The regular GOPs will fight like crack whores over the last rock in the room to stay out of the criminal system.
Rumor is that more than the above-named folks are also wanting/willing to testify publicly.
I honestly think some Republicans will start breaking away. Â I've been disappointed before, but now they will have legitimate cover, and more importantly, because this is out in the open, there's no more hiding a lot of shit.
I really am beginning to agree with those who think this (public hearings)Â was planned out by Pelosi and Co., and was always the endgame, and more importantly, that they knew a lot more of what was going on, even before the call.
It would be fun to map out all of the retiring Republicans, and what committees they were on, and what information they had access to.

Trumpkins: The Deep State is out to discredit and take down Trump
Sane People: Many of these people are Trump appointees, one even donated over a million to Trump, some are military
Trumpkins: The Deep State is called that for a reason
Sane People: Trump claims he only hires the best people
Trumpkins: Yep!
San People: So then the best people are the Deep State people?
Trumpkins: *turn bright shade of orange*

Once the public stuff starts, how long before Republicans start screaming that we should respect Trump's privacy, and that this should all be behind closed doors?

What Happens When the Texas Governor Shares the Worst Day of Your Life on Twitter?
As part of his campaign against Austin’s homelessness rules, Greg Abbott tweeted an old video of a non-homeless man having a mental health episode. His attorney says the governor is “retraumatizing” the man and his family.

Just saw that trump quote from 10/2. He actually said “word for word, comma for comma, by people that do this for a living”.
I think he knows they’re weren’t stenographers listening in, but just gives no shits about shading everything and lying through his teeth...and that no one will stop supporting him or care about his “just words and stuff”.Â

then the 2nd or 3rd time he'd tell it, he'd leave out certain details, or round up about what might be a better version of how he came off in the story. eventually, he would come up with a complete fabrication that was his favorite, and one that he thought sounded best.
then it wasn't ever about remembering the actual incident, it was about remembering the best possible version that he had told, and stiffening the details of that version to make it sound more accurate. eventually, he couldn't tell the difference anymore. Â
you can see when trump tries out his material, eventually, he finds a version he likes the most that he and his minions can run with. then he stiffens it to the point where it doesn't even match something he said days earlier. but he doesn't remember that, nor does he care. and neither does his 40%.
If Trump has conversations recorded in some fashion, in his private life, you can bet that they are edited to reflect his views.  He's probably very used to being able to tell people to cut out certain things from records.

The real story here isn't some no name conservative fruit cake going full on foil hat and babbling on about the small thoughts rattling about in his head. It's the continued descent and pathetic full on Trumpism of Maria Bartiromo. In some ways, Maria reflects the choice and transformation of educated mainstream 90's and aughts Republicans. Â
She's Italian, what did you honestly expect?
Seriously, I have a feeling she likes the paychecks. Â She doesn't strike me as being nearly the Trumpist that Lou Dobbs is (just witness his attacks on Vindman). Â

This could go in four different threads...John Sullivan, Trump's nominee, testifies before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee during his confirmation as Russian ambassador. He is currently deputy SofS.
Â
It's amazing how many of Trump's nominees/hires are not exactly protecting Trump and his associates. Â Almost as if they are concerned about being caught up in something legally.

An all dark side movie could be a cool re-fresh. Battle for power etc
Joaquin Phoenix could probably make for a dark character, based on his Gladiator performance.
And I bet the guy who made the Hangover movies, I know, I know, but just hear me out, probably has a dark movie or two in him.

I was thinking Lincoln and McClennan.
McClellan didn't have radio and TV news cycles to contend with. Â And he didn't have MacArthur's long and distinguished record.
If you want something more recent, Stanley McChrystal.
But again, Trump doesn't have the balls to vindictively fire Vindman for doing nothing wrong, just as he doesn't with Ted Lieu, because that would be crossing yet another line, and even some Rs are getting tired of the line-crossing.

Why is this not brought up on the campaign trail?
Medicare for all is a loser. Seriously. But you know what isn’t? Free healthcare for children and pregnant women.
Who can argue about that? Yeah people may bring up cost. But it’s far cheaper to cover kids, babies, and pregos than to have this.
Also you can throw it back in Republican faces as they aren’t family values if you don’t want kids to have healthcare.
Free healthcare for kids and being able to buy into Medicare at 55 are winners that don’t upend the current system but will actually deliver real results in 1.) getting people covered and 2.) reducing costs
Because it's easy to ignore when poor people's hospital bills that go unpaid are covered by increased hospital bills for everybody else, because there's no line items in your hospital bill that say "fee to cover unpaid hospital bills from poor people".
You know, if Trump ran a hospital, he would probably bankrupt it faster than he could a casino.

If their identity becomes known, I have no doubt that some incel/MAGA-type will try and kill him (or her).  None at all.

Dumbass, that's exactly why they got in to journalism. To embarrass and goad those in power. If they didn't make such a damned easy target...well, never mind. The vulgar talking yam can't help it.Â
I have no doubt that this stems from the boos and the acceptance of them.
While pissing off the suits above certainly didn't help their cause, this was always going to be how things went down, regardless of who they mocked (or didn't). Â As somebody who follows DS and a few of the other Gawker/Gizmodo sites, things have been really going downhill over the past several months, and it wasn't necessarily politics.
It was pretty clear a while back that whoever bought the company planned to cut costs and use all of the sites to promote the popular content of the other sites, which can help drive up advertising revenue, but it can also drive down staffing needs - You have X amount of writes for a site, but if all of the sudden 25% (or more) of that site was being replaced by stories from other sites, you can cut a writer or two or three.
That was the appeal of that company - while they may be different domains, they were all hosted as one large site, and if you got a popular story going on one site, it only took a few clicks to promote it across all of the other sites, and voila, you almost instantaneously drive up the number of views.

I have some hope that the people that will be fired for today will find gigs in other places.Â
Yeah, at the very least, should they have the savings, they could band together and start up their own site, and will have plenty of traffic from the get-go. Â This happened to a friend of mine who worked for one of the big blogs that AOL had bought and then later shut down - he and his co-workers had a replacement site up and running even before the previous one had shut down.
These folks know their advertisers, are very well networked, and so they could drop $100 (or less), start up their own site, contact the advertisers, and be off and running.

Another member of the Trump family who loves the troops, but didn't want to be one, and who is now shitting on the troops.
And coming after the fiasco with the Kurds, Mattis, etc.
It's a bold move, we'll have to see how that plays out. Â

Do these authors really believe what they are selling?
As somebody who writes on the side and has done some formatting/publishing for others, first off, plenty of the more high-profile types are not doing the actual writing, or at least not a lot of the writing.  They are selling their names to some publishing house who contracts out for a lot of stuff.  They might provide outlines, anecdotes, etc., but you don't have to listen to them long to realize they are not capable of cranking out a book on their own.  There is an industry built around them - you can pay plenty of would-be-authors, English and journalism grads, etc. a relatively small amount (under $20,000) for most of a book that you can then sell and make a few hundred thousand off of (if not more, depending on the name on the cover).
But then you get down to the people who are known as authors first, and not celebrity-types (people popping up on Fox News, etc.) , and who are actually writing. Â I was a big fan of conspiracy stuff in the '90s (more spectator than believer), and got to know plenty of people within that community, and there is overlap with the MAGA/incel crowd these days, and I think that applies to the book industry as well.
I've seen the "inside" of some of this stuff so to speak (and helped with some self-publishing), and I think it applies to the people you are talking about.  I found these people fell into one of two camps.  The first, the true believers, who believed what they were writing.  When they were writing or finishing up a book, their attitude was "man, I really think this is going to wake some people up!" The second group didn't believe what they were writing, or didn't fully believe it, and their attitude was "do you think people will buy this?"  They were less concerned with getting a message out there, and more concerned with whether it was going to be worth their time to write it.
