Maggie's Farm

Interesting fellow, son of a Chicago Jewish gangster. Semi-cult rocker, serious musician, acerbic talker. Good pals with Dylan, Rick Barry, Carl Hiassen - lots of people. This is 1982:

- Scott says the US is in a civil war, but it's between factions in Washington. People in the US get along very well.

- Scott says the government is attemption a coup. 

- Scott says that he is "Whistleblower3" 

The general theory is that Trump must be damaged by 1000 hoaxes, or he will win bigly. 

At the NYT: What can we do about it?

Everything the Press Gets Wrong about the Ukraine Call

It is not a mistake. 

Trump impeachment saga is pointless reboot of 1999 Bill Clinton effort

 Bill Maher Dishes on Biden Crime Family, “If Don Jr. Did What Hunter Biden Did, “It Would be All Rachel Maddow Was Talking About”

Democrats Want To Impeach A Republican President? What Else Is New? Maybe the Clinton impeachment fiasco hangs over the Dems. The Repubs too, I think.

Scott Adams explains the genius of both Trump and Zelinsky in the transcript and in their meeting this week.

- January 2017: The same day Trump was inaugurated, the Washington Post ran a story saying that the “effort to impeach Trump is already underway.”

-  It’s amazing that after more than two years of Russia, we could well be on the road to impeachment after less than a week of Ukraine. 

- Powerline:

 The Democrats moved so smoothly from Russia and racism to Ukraine that I hardly noticed. Whatever they are talking about — we aren’t entirely clear yet — it requires President Trump’s removal from office. That is the common denominator. They can’t wait for the election coming up next year to dispose of bad man orange.

Every single assertion of this paragraph isn't just wrong, but the opposite of right. In each sentence, Trump is being blamed for things his political opponents have done.

 There are countries such as China that desperately want to defeat Trump and had that interest in the 2018 midterm elections and in 2020 elections. We know that China is actively manipulating its actions to help achieve the goal of a Trump loss in 2020. Are Rucker, Costa and Bade suggesting that whichever Democrat Trump runs against should face “legal consequence” for whatever machinations they employ?

Thunberg speech is pure madness

Always interesting, though, to hear how much better English is spoken in Europe than in the US 

...who know nothing.

Cute, with the Italian-American shtick

Not likely, but...

Who has an argument?
