Don't use all you lube and alkyl nitrates today in the 1st hour of testimony. You will need to pace yourself today.  

Dont worry. Very experienced at this. Watched Dean testifying against Tricky. Watched 11 hours of.Hillary/Benghazi hearings. Watched the hearing where Rumsfeld doomed the Iraq War by firing General Shinseki. Watched the White Water hearings and Clinton Impeachment and the vapors a blow job caused the highly moral GOP.

So probably will heed your sage advice and get more lube. Thx.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi and top Democrats will take floor action Wednesday in response to controversial remarks by Rep. Ilhan Omar about Israel, the second such rebuke of the freshman Democrat from party leaders in recent weeks.

Fuck off Nancy.

I don't know if it's them folding or really being on the same side as Trump on this issue.

Pelosi, appearing together with Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., the minority leader in the Senate, were pushing back against the perception that Democrats have drifted away from Israel. Interviewing them was Haim Saban, the Israeli-American entertainment mogul who with casino magnate Sheldon Adelson are major backers of the IAC. Saban is also a major backer of Democratic politicians, and Adelson is seen as a Republican king-maker.

Pelosi urged those attending not to pay “attention to a few people who may want to go their own way,” apparently referring to newly elected Congress members such as Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota who have been sharply critical of Israel.

ISRAEL FIRST!

At what point do we stop focusing all our efforts on Russia interfering with our elections when it seems pretty clear Israel has infiltrated U.S. Congress?

They’re problems cut from the same corruption cloth.  The solution to both problems is the same. The difference is Russia is trying to destabilize the US population to the point of collapse, Israel just wants what they’ve always wanted.

Israeli forces may have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity by using lethal military force against unarmed protesters in Gaza, a United Nations independent commission of inquiry has found.

“Israeli security forces committed serious violations of human rights and international humanitarian law,” Santiago Canton, the head of the commission, stated on Thursday.

“These violations clearly warrant criminal investigation and prosecution,” he added.

“[Israeli forces] have intentionally shot children, they’ve intentionally shot people with disabilities, they’ve intentionally shot journalists, knowing them to be children, people with disabilities and journalists,” Sara Hossain, one of the other three investigators appointed by the UN Human Rights Council, said.

Yeah, because of some weird fealty we have towards Israel.

I've been to Israel.  I've met many Israelis.  Some of them, I assume, are good people 😉

But Israel is not our 51st state.  We should stop showing it some endless amount of deference and respect we don't even show Puerto Rico - an island full of AMERICANS.

To my last point, Israel has more effective representation in Congress than Puerto Rico or Guam or the USVI or even D.C.

Geo-politics.  They are an ally in a very unstable, and openly hostile region. The enemy of my enemy is my friend is the order of the day last century there (for the US at least).

It’s been remarkable how the US has balanced the alliance with Israel and Saudi Arabia at the same time.  We are united by our true religion, money.

Power really. That, stability, and relative safety. The money is jut a nice friends with benefits perk.  Now show me a nation state not focussed on any of those thIngs.  The crown Princes know Israel isn't a threat to them because America.

No it’s the money.  The power comes with it. A country’s power and security is determined by its economic strength.

Not in my opinion.  The power comes first in the way of military conquest and military projection (SEE:  The British Empire, post World War II America). The money comes after, in tribute and trade.

1. Probably waiting for Mueller report

You’re an idiot. They are doing it to themselves. Spend some time on the hill (which obviously you have never done), visit with your elected officials and actually speak with the people you claim to support. As opposed to screen grabbing every god damn article you can find and posting it as if it somehow legitimizes your twisted take. But you would rather spend hundreds of hours on here listening to yourself. 

First and foremost any elected official owes their allegiance to those who elected them....and then their party. And in the real world that causes problems. 

[Hugo Stiglitz 23367]

Oh okay, I will definitely do that now.  Thank you, I obviously have no idea what I’m doing.

[Rusty Shackelford 414]

Active.
Measures.

Pelosi is garbage.

She should've spent this week championing HR1. Instead, she spent the week finding a way to make sure all of DC shamed the black Muslim woman.

 

[Jive Turkey 12621]

Pelosi is playing the long game here. Seeking to impeach Trump would rile up Trump’s base and give them a rallying cry in 2020. Pelosi will not give them that satisfaction

She’s letting Trump’s base influence her decision making which means she is losing.

we don't want a coup d'etat every 4 years , with the next Dem in the crosshair.  Good move by NP.   It's about protecting future Presidents from angry mobs either way.

No offense dude, but Pelosi's political instincts are a tad better than yours. 

[Hugo Stiglitz 23367]

This (from @spaceavian:)

This sends a message that you can violate the law in any way you see fit, as blatantly as you want, subvert democracy to the best of your ability in any 4-year term. And it’s OK.

This kind of thinking and declaration weakens America even more than Trump does.

Yes, impeachment is HARD. It’s really hard. But this is the job you signed up to do. This is your duty. There never has been such a clear case and necessity for impeaching a President as this one. This is what the founders of the country intended. 

Good GOD, Nancy.

How did we get to this point in the first place? With exactly this thinking. No repercussions for illegal behavior. The criminals take notice. They know they can hang around and just do this again without punishment. 

Stop “looking forward” and start imparting consequences.

Edited March 11, 2019 by Hugo Stiglitz

[Gil Bang 25978]

He's gonna be indicted.   That's a consequence. 

And you might enjoy wasting time and jerking off.   Pelosi doesn't.   There's no way that the GOP senate convicts trump.  0% chance.  Impeachment is a waste of time.  As his crimes continue to be revealed, force GOP members to either go all-in on Trump, or run from him.  That's what she's doing.

I'll begrudgingly give her the benefit of the doubt, but it's beyond frustrating that our political system is so fucking stupid that we have the most utterly unfit person in all of history in office perpetrating multiple crimes and practicing the most blatant acts of dumbshittery, but we have to play the game in order to get him out.

The democrats do this shit all the time. The make excuses not to act because they’re afraid of “rocking the boat”.  The iceberg is dead ahead, everyone can see it but the democrats fear a mutiny from the kitchen staff if they try to remove the captain because he’s going to get everyone killed.

Great strategy Nancy.  Hope it works out for everyone.

Pence.  Trump loses re-election.  Trump resigns on January 19th 2021. Pence gives Trump a Nixon blanket pardon for any crimes committed before or in office.
