"All roads lead to Putin." -- Speaker of the House Pelosi

This picture sums it up*



Speaker Nancy Pelosi on impeachment inquiry: "All roads seem to lead to Putin with the president"

The House speaker says she is not planning to hold a full House vote to formally authorize an inquiry at this time

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., revealed Tuesday that the Democratic-led impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump has so far led lawmakers to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

"All roads seem to lead to Putin with the president," Pelosi told reporters during her weekly press conference, following a meeting with her caucus.

Snip...

"We're not here to call bluffs. We're here to find the truth — to uphold the Constitution of the United States," she added. "This is not a game for us. This is deadly serious, and we're on a path that is getting us to a path to truth and timetable that respects our Constitution."

*Tip o’ the hat to Lawrence O’Donnell!

Pompeo: "You sound like you work for DNC" to 2 different reporters.

Secretary of Corrupt State Mike Pompeo wanted to sound like a tough guy.

Instead, he reminds world that echolalia is a psychological problem. (Video at links)

On Oct. 11 with News 4 Nashville:



News4 asked about text messages that show diplomats under his authority told the Ukrainians that a good relationship with President Trump was only possible if they investigated his political opponent.

Amons: Were you aware that this was happening?

Pompeo: Again, you've got your facts wrong--it sounds like you're working at least in part for the Democratic National Committee.

The day before, he said the same thing to a Judy Woodruff of PBS NewsHour:



On Thursday Secretary of State Mike Pompeo stated that PBS Host/Reporter Judy Woodruff and other media talking heads have adamantly defended presidential hopeful and former Vice President Joe Biden. Pompeo said “It’s like you’re working for the DNC [Democratic National Committee].”

Guess one has to crazy to work for Trump. Hence, the talking points for easy recall.

The Ukraine Conspiracy

It’s not just Benedict Donald’s crooked phone call. Rudy Giuliani handing out “contributions” from Ukrainian cough Russian oligarchs to the GOP has already ensnared many — if not most — in the national GOP spotlight.



Trump is toast. So is DJTJ, Pence, Pompeo, Barr, McCarthy, ex-cong. Pete Sessions, and a bunch more who’ve taken foreign money and looked the other way.

“Tip of the iceberg.” Before it’s over, Moscow Mitch and Lindsey Leningram will wish they never heard of the NRA or a briefcase stuffed with Benjamins.

Moscow Mitch.

Lindsey Leningrahm.

They’re Reputins.

Captain Kangaroo Court is the perfect metaphor for Trumputin Fake News

It’s a lie, twisted within seemingly random (“alternate”) facts to create disinformation.





After the State Department ordered Ambassador Gordon Sondland not to appear before lawmakers on Tuesday, Trump tweeted that he’d “love” to send him to talk to members of Congress.

“But unfortunately he would be testifying before a totally compromised kangaroo court, where Republican’s rights have been taken away, and true facts are not allowed out for the public to see,” Trump wrote.

Repeat via MAGAphones in corporate media. Soon, 60M followers believe it. And thus, Democracy crumbles and the Republic dies.

The Ukraine matter shows Trump is a traitor. Now he wants us to move on to the next outrage.

Which is why DU. The Truth still matters.

Above all the impeachable Trumpshit, this:



Trump’s actions and lies helped Putin and Russia, those who attacked our democracy,
and hurt the United States and our allies, those who defend democracy.

What the cellist said...



Pablo Casals: “In the confusion that afflicts the world today, I see a disrespect for the very values of life. Beauty is all about us, but how many are blind to it! They look at the wonder of this earth — and seem to see nothing. People move hectically but give little thought to where they are going…

“Each second we live in a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that never was before and will never be again. And what do we teach our children in school? We teach them that two and two makes four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are? We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all of the world there is no other child exactly like you. In the millions of years that have passed there has never been another child like you. And look at your body — what a wonder it is! Your legs, your arms, your cunning fingers, the way you move! You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel? You must cherish one another. You must work — we all must work — to make this world worthy of its children.”
