Kasich just changed his mind live on CNN, now supports impeachment.
— John Scare-avosis🇺🇸 (@aravosis) October 18, 2019
Trump: We all know Kasich is just a spy for Hillary. We even saw on SNL how she tried to get the Electoral College, which I won the largest margin ever, to switch to him.
He probably has no idea of the horrors he evokes with those terms. And that makes it even more disturbing. https://t.co/PmCcJUUuj8

Glad Kasich is backing impeachment. I don’t like him but he’s got some integrity in a party that has zero.

Anti-LGBT politician resigns after being ‘caught having sex with man in his office’
Wes Goodman resigns for ‘inappropriate conduct’
This happens so often it has to be the rule rather than the exception. IT IS THE REASON THIS SUB-CULTURE EXISTS. Public moralizing and gay-bashing, not to mention extremist conspiracy theories like Q-Anon and Pizzagate, are pure self-covering projection for a sub-culture that is built around, and FOR, perverts, pedophiles, adulterers, and closet cases.
Yesterday the White House Chief of Staff admitted that they withheld congressionally approved aid to Ukraine to get a corrupt quid pro quo deal, but what you want to talk about is how wrong it was for Hillary Clinton to correctly say Russia is grooming Tulsi Gabbard as an asset?

It’s great that he’s supporting impeachment — hopefully more Republicans will follow his lead. However, if he really wants to help the country, he’d launch a primary challenge against Trump.
Right now the only primary challengers are people who only have integrity only when compared with Donald Trump.
- a governor who went missing to meet with his mistress
- a one term congressmen who skipped out on child support and won by under 1,000 votes
- a former VP candidate for the Libertarian party who IIRC basically sold out his party and effectively endorsed Hillary.

Definitely. Weld btw was a Republican governor in the 90’s.
History lesson: when Bill Clinton fired WH Travel Office employees in 1993, it led to 7 1/2 years of investigations by Congress and Ken Starr. GOP was outraged, alleging that Clinton wanted to steer travel business to friends.

A primary challenge seems kind of meaningless to me with so many states cancelling their primaries. Maybe he can launch a third-party candidacy.

No! Splitting the anti-Trump vote is how Trump got elected in the first place.

“Never forget” is only useful if there’s a moral lesson attached to the never forgetting. You can also “never forget” and think that ethnic cleansing and genocide are actually net positives for the world. Then it’s just a blueprint for doing it better next time.

Outside of New Mexico where he got almost 10% of the vote as the former governor, Johnson got over 5% in 8 states, 6 of which Trump won by much more than 5% (ND, AK, OK, MT, WY). The two states that he didn’t win - Colorado and Maine - Johnson’s vote going to Trump would have flipped those states to Trump’s column.
There’s a decent argument to make that if Johnson and Stein weren’t on the ballot in most states, the vast majority of their voters would not have cast a ballot for either Trump or Clinton. And that’s typically true most years regarding most third party candidates.

re: #47 NO SMOCKING GUN!
It’s a bit more complicated than that, IMO. Assuming a Trump, Dem, Kasich race instead of a Trump, Dem race.
Some people wouldn’t have voted for anyone, but voted for Kasich (Net zero benefit)
Some people would have voted for Trump, but voted for Kasich (Trump -1, Dem 0).
Some never Trumpers who would have voted for the Dem, but vote for Kasich instead. (Trump 0, Dem -1).
Some Dem voters who vote for Kasich instead (Trump 0, Dem -1). Seems really unlikely there are many in this category.
Basically, if there are more die hard republicans who are looking for a way to vote against Trump without voting for a Democrat than never Trumpers who switch from the Democrat to Kasich. Basically, 2020’s equivalent of McMullin or (some) Johnson voters.
re: #48 Belafon

Very different times. And the GOP was legitimately split over the issue of tariffs and protectionism (funny that, just a century later). But the only states that Wilson carried with a majority were former confederate states. Only three other states were won with a majority.
1912 was much closer to what 1992 could have looked like had Perot not shown himself to be crazy. But the truth is, we’ve had very few elections in the US with viable third party candidates and they’ve been so very far between it’s almost impossible to say what effect they would have on a general election
I think the whole G7/Doral thing is not a miscalculation on Trump’s part, or even necessarily an attempt to get as much out of the USG as he can before he leaves, but rather a giant “Fuck You!” to his opposition, and a further humiliation to show his followers who’s boss. Trump’s all about dominance, and by doing something SO BLATANT and forcing his followers to accept it, he’s showing them that he’s the one on top.
I don’t know how to express how sick it makes me to hear a President wax poetic about ethnic cleansing.

Which is all the more reason it needs to be an article of impeachment. I think there should be several emoluments clause articles*, but we can narrowly tailor this one to go along with the abuse of office/power article relating to pressuring Ukraine, and the obstruction of Congress articles.
*Personally, I think there should be 2 dozen articles of impeachment to address each and every one of his abuses. But that’s just me.

Sweat to God those statements sounded like something from the Committee for Public Safety or an utterance from Jacques Herbert during the Vendee Massacres. Made me stare in horror for a moment since I couldn’t really quite believe even Trump could say that.
I hated Bush guys. I was so angry about 2000 that I didn’t call him President Bush until 2005. I protested Iraq as a teenager. I think Katrina was a huge indictment on his presidency. I don’t like the revision on his Presidency and him as a person. But damn it, I can’t imagine him finding the extermination of anyone especially a long time geopolitical ally “great” or praising the perpetrator of such an event.

I used to think that if we don’t beat him in 2020 it’s the end of the Republic, but I’m really starting to believe that it can’t wait that long. The nature of his pathology is such that every time he gets away with something, he doubles and triples down. Hence, being allowed to keep control of the Trump organization convinced him he could take bribes from foreign governments booking and paying for rooms they never use. Not being impeached over the Mueller Report convinced him he could openly ask a foreign government to help him against his political opponents, and the GOP sticking with him in the face of such blatantly impeachable conduct convinced him he can do anything he wants. Anything.
And we’re not even 3 years in. How bad will he be by January of 2021, whether or not he wins? How bad would he be by January 2025?

No matter what happens from this point forward, the world will never, ever trust us again. Even if we impeach, convict, remove, indict, convict, and jail that motherfucker, the fact that we elected him in the first place, and then didn’t kick him to the curb earlier will inform how they see us.

Actually, seems like the guy has actual experience. Was chief of staff to House Energy Committee, was at USAA (not an energy company, but insurer) and Ford, and member of the Louisiana State Mineral and Energy Board.

re: #119 Belafon
Now, to throw a monkey wrench into this. He supports a trial. That doesn’t mean supports removal. What if the GOP is coordinating their effort to move up the timetable?
The point was raised somewhere yesterday that Mulvaney’s ‘confession’ was staged in order to goad Pelosi into moving straight to an impeachment vote - so it would fit in McConnell’s timetable of wrapping it up by Christmas.
I doubt Peolsi would fall for it. She lived through a summer of Democrats screaming for her head and demanding her replacement for not moving for an impeachment vote back in August.
McConnell might have a timetable, but he’s not driving. Pelosi is. And in the mean time they admitted to what will probably be the first article of impeachment.
They’re getting desperate, and unless Kasich comes out and admits that they’re trying to force the timeline, people are just going to see a prominent Republican calling for impeachment. Whatever the motives, it looks like a win for our side.

Absolutely. He sucks. Him wanting Trump impeached tells you how awful Trump is.
re: #126 makeitstop
There’s a political motivation to get the impeachment done before the end of the year, because the GOP has a chance to recover and get someone else in there. But with Trump engaging in more impeachable offenses by the day, Pelosi can say that they have to keep investigating because every day brings another crime.
It’s a viscous circle. If you impeach now, and the Senate doesn’t remove, then Trump can “glide” into 2020 and his base will reelect him handily. Dems will be weakened, and the Republic will be fucked.
If you keep investigating, you piss off the Democratic party base, but the GOP would then be put on the record as the primaries get underway and people will see that they’re covering for Trump, instead of doing the right thing for the nation.
It means Trump continues to damage the nation in the short term (and McConnell keeps packing the courts), but it could stave off an even worse long term.
We’re seriously harmed either way, but Pelosi’s strategy appears to be to try and contain the damage as best as possible when one political party is a crime syndicate - the GOP.

And this why a Democratic President and Senate must increase the number of Judges in federal courts and perhaps on SCOTUS. Otherwise we’re doomed.
The McConnell project is to use the minoritarian power of the Senate, along with the minoritarian power of the Presidency (via the electoral college) to stuff the courts with sentries who will spend their lives and careers frustrating liberal policy goals.

I’m not. Massachusetts has always had its libertarians.
There was a woman in Marblehead who was always presenting herself as a “poor, overtaxed, housewife”. Her name was Barbara Anderson and she played that like a fiddle for YEARS. She is best known for Proposition 2-1/2, the property tax referendum that was based on the law in California.
Most of her life, she was the poor homeowner and housewife, taxed for our sins. The conservatives in my state never shut up about it. She had a column in the local paper for years.
Near the end of her life, Barbara was interviewed by the local weekly on the North Shore. She mentioned, in passing, and without further comment, that she discovered Ayn Rand when she was younger.
That was it. The poor housewife thing? Phony. She was a stone cold Randian.
Bill Weld is no Randian. Not at all. But if you’re a Massachusetts conservative from the 1990’s and later, you’re probably a “street libertarian” in the same way that many leftists followed a colloquial “street communism”.
To this day, Massachusetts Republicans are all a bit libertarian, because it fits their inclinations—and their base.

State Dept issues report indicating that 38 people are being cited for violations out of their investigation into Clinton’s emails.
But note the specific language here.
The investigation covered 33,000 emails that Clinton turned over for review after her use of the private email account became public. The department said it found a total of 588 violations involving information then or now deemed to be classified, but could not assign fault in 497 cases.
For current and former officials, culpability means the violations will be noted in their files and will be considered when they apply for or go to renew security clearances. For current officials, there could also be some kind of disciplinary action. But it wasn’t immediately clear what that would be.
The department began the review in 2016 after declaring 22 emails from Clinton’s private server to be “top secret.” Clinton was then running for president against Donald Trump, and the now-president made the server a major focus of his campaign.
Then-FBI Director James Comey held a news conference that year in which he criticized Clinton as “extremely careless” in her use of the private email server as secretary of state but said the FBI would not recommend charges.
We’re going to Friday night news dump this crap again? Seriously?
The State Dept went back and reclassified a bunch of documents after all this went down, and then tried to retcon that there was wrongdoing here. They then try to claim that there’s criminal wrongdoing, when none was actually found.
The GOP will never let this go. Ever.
That’s even as Trump used a server meant for top secret classified info to shield criminal conversations that indicated a quid pro quo was sought to get political dirt on Bidens while holding up military aid to Ukraine (among others). Trump family members use unsecured emails and texting apps to conduct official govt business, and nary a peep from these fuckers. The ongoing criminal conduct is excused, but the GOP keeps going back to this.

The department said it found a total of 588 violations involving information then or now deemed to be classified, but could not assign fault in 497 cases.
So then we can probably reasonably conclude that 497 of the 588 violations were previously unclassified; and the remaining 91 were probably classified at the time?

I feel like the DNC should sell a tee of a print with Trump behind bars with that same caption.
I find it unsettling to say the least and insane at the other ledge to think all these tools were readily available for Trump to plug in. And saying that, the deafening silence or willful ignorance of an entire political party to allow the torching of Democracy to hold the ashes as their own? They GOT paid.

My grandmother’s voting absentee. I had to look up some of the candidates. She wanted to straight ticket Dem. What was neat for me was a couple things- candidates I’ve met and our local Dem candidates are quite diverse. Two Indian Americans on the ballot. Not a surprise. Loudoun County has a sizable Indian-American community who are a significant part of the base.

Unfortunately there’s a part of the left that has this mindset that if we intervene, it must be bad. It’s the opposite of the Neo-conservatives who always support intervention.
This same part of the left is what one might call “South Park Left”, after the show: If you express genuine concern for the issues, they mock you relentlessly because you are naive and do not understand that America, your country, and yourself are fascist. H/T to Chomsky for that one.

If he were to stroke out, she would play the role of Edith Bolling Wilson- Woodrow’s second wife. EC, I know you’re a Canadian native so I don’t know if you read about what happened when Wilson had a stroke when touring for the passage of the League of Nations after WWI. But Wilson’s wife pretty much took over with his AG and that’s when the first Red Scare happened.

I’ve never heard that one but I like it.
Tulsi’s reaction reminds me of what Gillum said about DeSantis. “A Hit dog will holler”.
Hillary never named her at all, and she was the one who hollered. Thank you Hillary, and when Tulsi has to go back and defend her seat, every Dem will appreciate what you have done.
In one way the big field has helped. Tulsi’s from Hawaii, which makes it hard to get a national rep, and in a smaller field she might have been able to do more damage.
I think the thinking was that Hillary would clear the field in a rematch, and that Tulsi would be less vulnerable due to age and gender than Sanders, especially in a one-to-one race. But Hillary isn’t running and having the time of her life writing books and giving speeches, and relaxing after a long career. Tulsi gets no traction otherwise-she’s having to make her case in a field of 20, some even more out there than she is.

It’s the Slovenian connection. Melania courted her over potica. (For you many non Slovenia descendant lizards, potica is a Slovenian sweet. It’s what Pope Francis said to Melania when he met the Trumps.)
And there it is, the other quid pro quo. Notorious Ukrainian oligarch Dmitry Firtash would help Rudy and DiGenova and Toensing cook up dirt on Joe Biden. In return, they’d work with Trump to get US corruption charges against Firtash tossed. Firtash has been fighting extradition to the US on federal corruption charges since 2014.

The incident reveals how Giuliani’s work to dig up dirt on Democrats went much further than previously understood — and included an attempt to directly influence the actions of the federal government. Concerns that Giuliani was inappropriately involved in shaping and driving the administration’s Ukraine policy form a significant part of the intelligence community whistleblower’s complaint, which prompted the ongoing impeachment investigation into President Donald Trump.
Giuliani did not reply Friday to questions from CNN. The White House did not respond to request for comment. Kent’s lawyer declined to comment for this story.

On the Trail of a Fourth Soviet Spy at Los Alamos
Three Soviet spies in the Manhattan Project are well known - Klaus Fuchs, David Greenglass, and Ted Hall. Fuchs and Greenglass were known publicly in the 1950s, but Hall’s story came out only in the 1990s.
Now more documents have been declassified, and Harvey Klehr and John Earl Haynes, who have done much to illuminate Soviet spying during that time, have found a fourth Soviet spy. They have found his path from the United States to East Germany and then Russia in 1952, escaping from possible arrest. Their article in the CIA’s “Studies in Intelligence” lays out what is known about him.
The spy’s name is Oscar Seborer. His story intersects with the FBI’s Project SOLO, in which they turned two members of the Communist Party in the USA. Their communications with Moscow seem to indicate that Seborer furnished information on the atomic bomb project, where he was a technician.
Seborer seems to have operated separately from the other spies, and his reporting seems to have been more to the GRU (Soviet military intelligence) than the civilian KGB. The two intelligence agencies have historically competed.
Klehr and Haynes have uncovered a fair bit of information about Seborer’s family, but not much about what he did at Los Alamos or what information he gave to Moscow. Maybe someone reading this knows something about the Seborer family or, as they called themselves in Russia, the Smiths.

Exclusive: Rudy Giuliani asked the Trump administration to grant a visa to the Ukrainian official Joe Biden pushed to have removed while vice president
The Independent had a story last week about this official:
Viktor Shokin: The inside story on Ukraine’s ‘very good’ prosecutor at centre of Trump scandal
David Sakvarelidze was five months into a new job as Ukraine’s reformist deputy chief prosecutor when a witness came forward with intelligence that would change the course of everything.
The witness, a sand producer in the Kiev region, complained of men extorting hundreds of thousands of dollars. […]
A search of the men’s apartments revealed a scene that looked like a comic heist: bags full of cash, diamonds and other precious stones. But that was not the only incriminating evidence. Documents seized at the time indicated the men appeared to have a connection to the top prosecutor in the land, Viktor Shokin.
Police found copies of Shokin’s passports, property registration certificates and even his licence to carry firearms. One of the two men, it transpired, was Shokin’s former driver who had subsequently climbed the ranks behind his boss.
I like the phrase “a scene that looked like a comic heist”.

So anyway, if I was Pelosi, I would get the caucus together and fire off an article of impeachment - just ONE - tomorrow on the G7/Doral thing. Let the investigations roll on everything else.
It needs no investigation, it needs no explanation. It’s blatant corruption and self dealing, and blatantly a constitutional violation. You can put the case to the Senate in less than four hours.
It puts huge pressure on the WH, which is already cracking hard. It gives the Rs time to bail out and disavow Trump early if that’s where the momentum is heading, and if not it gives every D candidate a talking point for the next year. And it gives up none of the investigative leverage. It would be nice to see a comprehensive trial on all the emoulments, but this one is so insanely blatant that there’s really not going to be a better chance in that lane.

Easier to pass, yes, make Trump mad, check… but I just don’t see taking away a few million dollars (depending on the contract, even a buncha million $) from Trump as a worthy legislative goal. It’s slapping a child on the wrist - “Don’t take that.”
The real point is to get Trump out of office. Pence is a turd, but he’d be slaughtered in the election. Trump is doing damage to the country every day, and picking a clear first round of impeachment - and making it clear that there WILL be more to come - moves removal forward.

He has been quiet. Maybe on a week bender, lying in bed, muttering 911 over and over.

Another one from Charlie Pierce: Donald Trump Decided Climate Change Won’t Be on the Agenda for the G7 at Trump Doral
It’s as typically idiotic for this administration* to decide unilaterally that the climate crisis will not be on the agenda as it is typically corrupt for this administration* to incarcerate the leaders of the western world at one of the president*’s lesser properties. How do they plan to keep the climate crisis off the agenda? By threatening to throw the offending representatives out of Doral? Delegates might show up in Greta Thunberg masks if that were the threatened penalty.

President said China committed to $40 to $50b a year ag purchases. Note best ever year for China purchases was in 2012 at slightly over $25 b ag purchases. And we are starting at an historic low level in 2018 of less than $10b. Highly questionable promise to American farmers. pic.twitter.com/sKYzfhXnAa

They must be fearing Trump being a huge albatross in 2020 and beyond.
There will be a civil war in the GOP whatever happens. The base still loves Trump.

Excessive brain activity linked to a shorter life
One key to a longer life could be a quieter brain without too much neural activity, according to a new study that examined postmortem brain tissue from extremely long-lived people for clues about what made them different from people who died in their 60s and 70s.
“Use it or lose it” has dominated thinking on how to protect the aging brain, and extensive research shows there are many benefits to remaining physically and mentally active as people get older. But the study, published in the journal Nature, suggests more isn’t always better. Excessive activity — at least at the level of brain cells — could be harmful.

So Tulsi assumed HRC was talking about her, then runs onto Tucker to whine. Feels purposeful so she can withdraw claiming to be the victim, then becomes the outspoken “liberal” for FOXiverse in the upcoming election. This gives her license to trash the real finalist.

In light of the latest slanderous allegations from @HillaryClinton, I challenge her to a debate. It’s past time to give the American people the real debate they deserved in 2016, but were denied by the phony DNC/RNC-controlled Commission on Presidential Debates. https://t.co/OvvEjJ9sMx

Yep, and when she runs as a third party candidate, everyone can nod to Clinton and say “Once again, she was right.”
It’s a shame HRC is peddling conspiracy theories to justify her failure instead of reflecting on real reasons Dems lost in 2016. You can slander progressives as “Russian assets”, but you can’t hide the fact that the DNC sabotaged Sanders & elevated Trump to set the stage for HRC. https://t.co/ImGDnL1451

There has since the 1940s, at least, a feeling among citizens that America is too strong and that the welfare of the world resides in counterbalance. And so there were some “well-meaning” spies in the Manhattan Project; Oppenheimer himself thought that sharing the science might nip an escalation in the bud.
I think that GG, Tracey, Mate, etc., Are those kind of citizen: America has become too big for it’s britches and needs to be taken down a peg. They never talk about domestic issues anymore—income inequality, health care—-because it’s more convenient at the moment to attack anyone right of Bernie on their positions about Russia/Trump (even though their own understanding of the Mueller Report is blinkered by some devotion to protecting Russia’s reputation).
Republican state senator.
Republicans: WHAT is the holdup? Trump is now flaunting impeachable offenses in front of CAMERAS. Are you just going to stand there and say nothing? Are you ok with your legacy being “was submissive to Donald Trump?” Good Lord. Grow a spine and regain some self respect.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend and what not, but I keep looking at all these GOPers starting to lean towards impeachment and I think: “You motherfuckers voted for him the first place. You guys don’t give two shits about the country, you want a sane version of Trump that isn’t obvious about all of the corruption.”
AKA, John Kasich.
Woah
