IQ45 said he'd only hire the best - and this guy looks like he's among the bestest of the best!





*How sad that we're laughing at such a serious issue - "professionals" that are responsible for American foreign policy.
Then again, if we don't laugh we're gonna' go crazy!

For awhile, I honestly wondered if the hollowing out of our agencies and personnel had left behind any men or women of integrity, people dedicated to serving the country, not the Squatter-in-Chief.

The last two weeks has been a revelation, a happy one at that. Yes, those men and women still exist and are now pushing back against the lawlessness.

Hallelujah!

And who compiled them? And on whose orders? I kinda have a suspicion about the answer to that last one.

that is not connected to the impeachment investigation. Amazing! This man, who is up for a high-level position is telling the Senate that Giuliani and the White House were disseminating untruthful attacks against another Ambassador? How bizarre that this is coming out in a separate hearing, and nobody's head is exploding.

Trump needs to be gone, and soon! That should be obvious to the Senate from this testimony.

And he was commenting about the meeting between Putin and Trump.

He said a third topic they discussed was "business to business"?

Also, he said he was the person that recalled the Ambassador Yovanovitch from Ukraine.

After he acknowledges all the shit going on does he support it or denounce it?

...for that post. With the NRA’s hands cupping the naughty bits of Russpublican Senators, the nomination would have sailed through confirmation. If he’d done that six months ago.


BTW, has anybody heard from Ms. Butina since her homeward bound flight went “wheels down”?

Replying to @dcpoll
Can we drop the term "Personal Lawyer" here please? A "Personal Lawyer" reviews your will and represents your kid for that weed charge in college. Rudy can only be described a "Co-Conspirator" or "Fixer" he is not doing legal work for tRump in any way.
