Barr madness: “The unbearable wrongness of William Barr.”
Salon: “If secularism truly resulted in moral deterioration, then highly secular societies would be decaying.
They’re not.”
(pls see: https://www.salon.com/2019/11/09/the-unbearable-wrongness-of-william-barr/)
IMHO…Argh: Barr is dominionist as well as a crook who wants government to be controlled by Christian authority. Wow, Notre Dame let him stand up there and spout his penchant for a christian version of sharia law. Notre Dame does good things e..g. it even has a Peace Studies department. And they allow a diverse faculty, among them atheists (I know two of them.) We know Catholic leaders are against LGBTIQ… the Pope is the head of that University (a renowned #1 research University). Trump, Pence and Barr are Not for a happier, more moral society (unlike Scandinavia which is not religious.) No Mr. Barr, it is not immoral to not have a god or a church. Or to be gay or trans. Non-religious Trump has got his little doggies out there working it, but he might want to watch out for Barr and others paving the way for Pence, who btw MUST = MUST go down with them.

World’s biggest delusional threat and liar just said:
“I am very much into climate.”
And called himself an “environmentalist”.
“Since entering the White House, Trump has rolled back EPA regulations on methane, replaced an Obama-era rule regulating power plants emissions and suggested weakening vehicle fuel standards. He has also eased a major Obama-era rule protecting waterways.”

Reported yesterday:
“There are essentially two fronts in the Trump administration’s long battle to dismantle EPA protections
and deregulate industry to allow increased pollution in the pursuit of short-term profit: the rolling back of specific laws that ensure access to clean air and water, and an attack on the science that informs the Environmental Protection Agency’s policy decisions.
On that second front, the White House has undermined individual targets, like the 2017 establishment of veto power over scientific studies produced by the EPA, and the recent massaging of information to suggest pollution from coal plants kills fewer Americans every year than is the case.
But a new draft of an EPA proposal published Monday suggests that the Trump administration is preparing a comprehensive assault on the ability for scientists funded by the agency to suggest policy with accurate data. Under the guise of transparency, the proposal will allow the EPA to reject any academic findings unless all raw data from the study — including confidential medical records — is handed over.” More….

Trump advisers exploring income-tax proposal to cut middle-class rate to 15%
The plan remains in flux and would aim to set up a sharp contrast with Democrats in 2020. President Trump hasn’t signed off on any plan, but he said Tuesday he believed he could lower tax rates beyond what was accomplished after Congress passed cuts in 2017.

I looked up who is behind the BNC network. Turns out it’s former Republican congressman JC Watts, which caused my eyes to roll to the back of my head. 🙄

I'm beginning to think that I'm the only American that thinks tomorrow's visit to the WH by Turkey's President Erdogan should have been cancelled and allowing this guy on US soil is disgusting. Almost as bad as inviting the Taliban to Camp David. Did anyone object to this visit?

To recap, while I agree with @repadamschiff that the bribery case against Trump is the strongest because bribery is specifically mentioned in the Constitution as grounds for impeachment, there are other v. nearly equally strong counts that could be brought:
11/13: William Taylor, George Kent 11/15: Marie Yovanovitch 11/19 (AM): Jennifer Williams, Alexander Vindman 11/19 (PM): Kurt Volker, Timothy Morrison 11/20 (AM): Gordon Sondland 11/20 (PM): Laura Cooper, David Hale 11/21 (AM): Fiona Hillhttps://t.co/GsUoVJjUi0

Good morning. I was going to try to force myself to listen to the RWNJs at the hearing, and not just mute ’em, as I usually do. But seeing Nunes’ face … no can do. Sometimes rather than get all the information, we have to save our souls.
So glad the hearing process has started. #Hope #YesWeCan

The ruling injected new urgency into the president’s effort to shield his state tax records from Congress.
That’s my favorite movie right now. Erivo deserves an Oscar for channeling Ms. Tubman.
Pretty sure it’s in the law or regulations that Congress is notified. But trump knows nothing about the law, nor does he care.
This is a gigantic breach of our national security. She was there long enough for the clearance requirements to be finished.
And she’s still working for the federal government, I believe.
