Lock her up!

World leader in fake posts.

CNN's fact check was spot on... not that dull sheep buh-lieve in facts.

So.... this is they guy Mackris was supporting with all his crisis actor posts here?

Great taste in men you have there, mAndrea.

- I would love to see the President on the witness stand

"It was a perfect drug deal! I get to win again, Crazy Joe is a LOSER! and the Ukraine gets another year or so until Vlad has them for dinner. Dinner, wait where's my berders, Yurtle?"

Private Boaz neglects to count all the land Israel has stolen since the war for settlements.

This "plan" gives back everything that Israel had grudgingly agreed to negotiate in the last 30 years after a lot of hard werk by previous admins of both parties.

I bet GW will agree with Obama and Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton on that.

Thanks, Boltism!

Trump must be apoplectic... wonder he's broken Twitter yet?

"Yurtle is a coward, a sissy, a no-goodnik! Sad!! I'll break him! He won't be able to get a job at McDonalds flipping my burgers.... mmmm, hungry now, Bye!"

Maybe he'll pull a Nixon and resign first... naw, no such luck.

Mod8 is right, Bolton's testimony would substantiate that of a lot of other witnesses that GOPhers claim are "hearsay" even though they aren't.

"Trump's Israel-Palestine "peace plan" is a con

The proposal destroys the prospects for any real deal and brings Israel meaningfully closer to "apartheid."

Donald Trump's "peace plan" isn't a plan for advancing Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations. It's a plan for scuttling them.

The proposal is missing a signature feature of every prior peace plan: a path to a viable Palestinian state. It divides up the Palestinian territories and surrounds them by Israel, and gives Israel total control over Palestinian security " allowing a future Palestinian government to exercise full control over its own land only when Israel deems it acceptable. It's a kind of state-minus: a Palestine without much of its land and subservient to Israel for basic functions.

"Trump can try to make this a Palestinian state by calling it a state. But it ain't ever gonna whistle," writes Tamara Cofman Wittes, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution's Center for Middle East Policy.

Needless to say, the Palestinians cannot and will not agree to such humiliation, and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has already ruled it out.

"No, no, and no," he has said. "Jerusalem is not for sale. All of our rights are not for sale or bartering.

In fact, the Trump administration didn't even have a role in writing the plan: It was put together primarily by Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, in consultation with the Israeli government. The notion that this is a good-faith effort to make peace is laughable.

So if the "peace plan" isn't a peace plan, then what is it?

First, it's an effort to help Netanyahu, a staunch Trump ally, in advance of tightly contested March elections in Israel. The release of a plan so tilted to Israeli priorities helps the right-wing prime minister sell himself as the man best positioned to handle the vital US-Israel relationship. And it doesn't seem like an accident that the plan was released on the same day that Israel's attorney general formally indicted Netanyahu on bribery and corruption charges.

Second, and more insidiously, it is a plan to legitimize Israel's ongoing effort to seize additional Palestinian land.

The United States, as Israel's most important ally and the historic mediator in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, helps define the parameters of what counts as an acceptable outcome.

As soon as the Palestinians have rejected the plan " and it took only minutes for them to do so " the Israelis can say, "Well, we tried, but they wouldn't deal." And they can proceed with settlement expansion and land grabs, moving Israel toward "not peace, but apartheid," as B'Tselem, a leading Israeli human rights group, put it in a press release on the proposal.

The Trump vision is, in short, a truly Orwellian creation: a "peace plan" that actually is a plan to destroy the prospects for peace."

Speaking of "vile, disgusting people in this country", this guy has got to be near the top of God's list.

He's exactly the kind of religious hypocrite Jesus used his toughest language about, as did his disciples:

The news has placed new pressure on Senate Republicans to allow witnesses, including Bolton, to testify in the trial. Democrats have been trying to peel off four GOP senators in order to subpoena witnesses, including Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Lamar Alexander of Tennessee.

When asked by CNN on Tuesday if she'd like to read his manuscript, Murkowski replied, "I think that Bolton probably has something to offer us. So we'll figure out how we're going to learn more."

Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican, offered his support of Lankford's idea on Tuesday, writing in a tweet that the manuscript should be available "in a classified setting where each Senator has the opportunity to review the manuscript and make their own determination."

Of course most of these people made up their minds how to vote when Trump and McConnell told them how to vote, and saying they "looked at in private and decided it wasn't important" may be just a ploy to say it was considered.

The difference between Sheeple and Boaz as far as Trump is concerned? Boaz prolly isn't as easily fooled.

- we know the 2016 Dem primary was fixed in favor of Hillary

The very idea of "fixing" a 3 million vote landslide primary win? Ridiculous..... oh, wait, given some of the outrageously insipid Pizza Parlor pedi stories you guys believe, maybe not so hard for you to swallow that one.

We remember what his aide testified to under oath to Congress and what he is now confirming that Trump did in his "drug deal".... he's not the kind of warmonger that Trump should have crossed.

As this article points out, he knows what he is doing....

- "Though we have often seen the world and some of our challenges quite differently, and advocated different responses now and in the past...."

Means they are exactly the same in LauraLand, where guilt by association is never a problem, nor a cognitively dissonant logical fallacy of association.

"Bolton's secrets are therefore valuable in numerous ways: They got him a huge book deal; they position him as an insider able to command high speaking fees before rapt right-wing audiences; and finally, they make him a feared enemy of Trump and his allies. For Bolton to surrender these advantages for free, to the advantage not of himself but of liberals with whom he agrees on little, would be for Bolton to stop being Bolton."

"Whether he was attracted to the law because he is cold-blooded, punctilious, and manipulative, or became cold-blooded, punctilious, and manipulative because the practice of the law rewards those traits, is immaterial. This is his character, and it explains all his delays in coming forward with his account."

"To act this way in a context outside of litigation is commonly known as "being an -------." That explains, in part, Bolton's reputation for unpleasantness: He unapologetically forces people to get the details, what in government is often called "process," exactly right."

"Silence up to now has bought Bolton the Litigator something very valuable. He has now listened as others present "in the room""including his deputies, such as Fiona Hill"have recorded their versions of events. He has heard Republicans, including Trump, lay out an impeachment defense"not only a version of events, but also a theory of innocence.

By speaking last, he can present testimony precisely calculated to hurt those he most wants to embarrass. Even just today, in response to the initial leaks from Bolton's book, Trump tweeted a suspiciously grammatical series of statements demeaning Bolton and denying that Bolton was told to delay aid to Ukraine. Bolton is strategic, and it would be unlike him to make a bold claim without a plan to counter Trump's denial. More likely, he will dole out the details and evidence methodically, thwarting his critics like steers in a cutting horse competition."

"None of this means that Bolton will reverse the course of the impeachment, even if he testifies. The trial's ultimate verdict is less in the balance than the ability of Republicans to continue to defend their president without self-abasement. But count on Bolton to know that the value (in all senses) of that testimony will decline after the impeachment trial, so he is doing everything he can to make his testimony necessary, and to deliver it while it is in highest demand."

4Chan Hero.

Churches were never meant to be charities... except by tight rwingers who don't want the majority in the country to decide that we should help those that actually need it.

I've been right not to pleasure Trump's backside for 4 years like you have.

- side with Henry Kissinger

There's a name for people that make stuff up then attribute it to someone else. Besides ignorant, I mean.

#20

Trumplesheepskin is SO upset that even some rwingers aren't stupid enough to lie under oath, or in their books, for his Dear Leader.

He certainly would.

#17

Why, Lee. You make it sound like that because most of the testimony against Trump was from his own appointees and not his opposition makes it is somehow even more convincing.

How dare you.

#12

I guess you did see the reports of the WH witness testimony against Trump and Bolton's confirmation....you just didn't understand it.

Poster that is making the Trump Licker List. Near the top.

Really proud of a moderate conservative like Girl Idaho putting her country first.

Shame on you, Jeffy!!

- nothing actually happened.

"But Judge, it was only ATTEMPTED murder!"

Giving Trump the green light to continue asking Russia, China, and bribing the Ukraine to interfere in this election is becoming an accessory to impeachable, and criminal, offences.

- you don't believe him
