Surprise—it’s Cry Time!
Here’s all the shit we couldn’t cover today:
- Here are some quotes from this transcript of a call between Kellyanne Conway and a reporter at the conservative Washington Examiner: “I haven’t learned a single thing from any of your pieces.” “What is your job exactly?” “Are you an expert on my marriage?” “Don’t pull the crap where you’re trying to undercut another woman based on who she’s married to. He gets his power through me, if you haven’t noticed. Not the other way around.” Read on, it’s a wild one.” [Washington Examiner]
- Human scum you say? [Daily Beast]
- Bernie Sanders says: 420 declassify it (and expunge all past convictions). [Vox]

DISCUSSION
Looks like the
cry babiesbig tough guys in the Senate GOP are moving forward with their resolutiondoing exactly what Daddy Trump told them to docondemning the House impeachment inquiry. They’re claiming it’s a secret proceedingopen to a quarter of the Houseand doesn’t allow Trump tointimidate witnessesconfront his accusers.Their whining about “due process” is particularly annoying because all of that happens in the Senate trial. I’m not a lawyer, but I don’t think defense lawyers regularly get a seat at the table during criminal investigations. Like that’s the point of a damn trial.
Anyways these are the same people that are arguing in court that Trump couldn’t be prosecuted for shooting someone, so nothing matters!
