How crazy is it that Trump is meeting with Ukraine’s President today? I don’t think it should be allowed, seems like tampering with witnesses.
You know folks, people try tampering. They say oh I’ll just smudge the truth a bit here. I say they’re not going far enough. You know, the thing is, the Democrats will tell you they’re the honest ones. I say to them, that’s great but what are you doing about the llama crisis in Indonesia? And then I said Mitch, Mitch we’ve got em. And so that’s why I bought Melania that sweater, and why it’s so crystal clear this is all FAKE NEWS! No obstruction, no collusion!
Edit: in case it’s not clear (and sadly I realized it’s not), Trump didn’t actually say this.
LMAO. I was about to ask you for a source of this quote. LOL
The House? I don't think Nancy moves past inquiry until she whips properly.
The interesting one is the Senate. No way do they get 2/3, but is it a victory if the majority votes guilty? Maybe.
Those are people who have publicly stated they are willing to impeach. She has some safe district votes in her pocket to cover the more Trumpy districts, I'm sure.
Pelosi had to come out for impeachment when all the House members from purple & red states came public with a desire to have impeachment hearings after this whistleblower incident.
As on aside, all these sorry ass kissing Republicans will hopefully pay a great price.
The Senate will at least have their names recorded as standing behind this evil man.

No it's not. Trump fans will love Trump no matter what. They'll call this a witch hunt as usual. Uglier politics are coming.
Uglier politics & behavior are sure to come.
No president has ever been voted out of office, Nixon most likely would have if he didn't quit.
Johnson & Clinton were impeached & acquitted. Clinton impeached by outraged Republicans about how he had sullied the Office of the Presidency by lying about his affair. But they are fine with Trump. Head explodes.
His base will stand behind him regardless. They wear shirts that say "You can grab my p><<y Mr. President". They pledge allegiance to Trump, not America.
The rest of America can listen to proof & decide. The House had to do this, if not now & Trump, when? Might as well toss out the Constitution & start saying Dear Leader in earnest.

I suppose it's possible that it could get to where Nixon got.... If he gets scared and tired enough, Trump could perhaps resign as well I guess, if he thought that he would actually get removed from office. But only if he has reason to believe a Republican Senate would do it to him.... I will be utterly shocked if that happens. These Trump supporting Rep Senators are the scum of the Earth after all.

The Trump administration weakened Endangered Species Act rules. Today 17 state attorneys general sued over it.
Add to list
“We’re
coming out swinging,” said California Attorney General Xavier Becerra.
The intent of the lawsuit is to protect the act that plants and animals
depend on, he said.

Attorneys
general in 17 states on Wednesday made good on a promise to sue the
Trump administration over rule changes that substantially weakened how
Endangered Species Act protections are considered and enforced.
Led
by California, Maryland and Massachusetts, the coalition filed its
complaint in a federal court in California. It released a statement
saying the administration’s rollback of rules last month “removes
current provisions that help prevent threatened species from becoming
endangered or extinct.” Among them are rules that ban capturing and
killing some species.
The administration’s new
rules would allow it to reduce the amount of habitat set aside for
wildlife and remove tools used by officials to predict future harm to
species as a result of climate change. It would also allow the
administration to reveal, for the first time in the law’s 45-year
history, the financial costs of protecting them.
The
changes were jointly announced in mid-August by the Interior and
Commerce departments as part of President Trump’s mandate to scale back
government regulations on corporations, including the oil and gas
industry, that want to drill on protected land.
It
followed a United Nations report that said 1 million species worldwide
face extinction as a result of human activity. Wednesday’s lawsuit
followed a separate report that said 3 billion birds have been lost
since the 1970s.
“We’re going to try to undo
what the president is proposing to do with the Endangered Species Act,”
said California Attorney General Xavier Becerra (D).
Attorneys
general in Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada, New
Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania and
Vermont are among those who signed on to the lawsuit. Washington, D.C.,
and New York City are also in the coalition.
“California
is home to hundreds of endangered and threatened species, and wildlife
that owes its continued existence to the Endangered Species Act,
including the iconic bald eagle. As we face the unprecedented threat of a
climate emergency, now is the time to strengthen our planet’s
biodiversity, not to destroy it," Becerra said.

U. S. announces asylum deal with Honduras, could send migrants to one of world’s most violent nations
Add to list

The
Trump administration announced a migration deal Wednesday that will
give U.S. immigration authorities the ability to send asylum seekers
from the border to Honduras, one of the most violent and unstable
nations in the world.
Department of Homeland Security officials
reached the accord with the government of president Juan Orlando
Hernández, who is embroiled in allegations of government corruption and
charges that he and others have been operating the nation as a criminal
enterprise — Hernandez has been named as a co-conspirator in a major
U.S. drug trafficking case.
The deal paves the way for the United
States to take asylum seekers from the U.S. border and ship them to a
nation with one of the highest murder rates in the world, a country with
gang wars that have fueled waves of mass migration and multiple
“caravans” to the United States that became a major irritant to
President Trump.
More than 250,000 Hondurans have crossed the U.S. border during the past 11 months alone, many filing protection claims that have added to the soaring number of asylum cases clogging U.S. courts.
That
DHS would enter into such an accord with the Honduran government a
month after its president was named by U.S. prosecutors as a
co-conspirator in a drug case is a sign of the Trump administration’s
eagerness to armor the U.S. immigration system against a new surge of
Central Americans.
Last week, DHS Acting Secretary Kevin McAleenan signed a similar deal
with El Salvador, after reaching an accord with the government of
Guatemala in July. None of those pacts have been implemented, but once
in place, U.S. officials say they will have the ability to redirect
asylum applicants from the U.S. border to the same three countries that
accounted for the vast majority of unlawful migration.
McAleenan
and other U.S. officials said asylum seekers should try to find
refuge “as close to home” as possible, rather than embarking on the long
and often dangerous trip to the United States.
A senior DHS
official who described the Honduras agreement to reporters Wednesday
said that the accord would allow the United States to redirect asylum
seekers to the countries through which they transit while on the way to
the United States — if they failed to seek protection in those countries
first.
An asylum seeker from Nicaragua or Venezuela, for
example, would be asked to choose among Guatemala, Honduras or El
Salvador as places to seek protection, under the scenario the senior DHS
official described.
“When a migrant arrives at the southern
border, they will be provided an opportunity to seek protection in one
of those three countries,” said the official, who DHS made available to
reporters on the condition that he not be identified.
Immigration
attorneys and rights advocates have denounced the DHS agreements as a
flagrant abrogation of long-standing U.S. legal protections extended to
those fleeing persecution. Trump administration officials have
acknowledged that their goal is to deter migrants from using U.S.
humanitarian programs as a way to avoid detention and deportation at the
border.
“If you don’t have integrity in the system,
if you can’t effectuate immigration results as people arrive at the
border, and they’re invited to come up with a promise they’ll be
released into the next country, they’re going to keep coming,” McAleenan
said Wednesday on Fox News.
DHS
officials say the accord signed with Honduras also will expand
information-sharing and improve cooperation targeting transnational
criminal organizations. Hernandez, the Honduran president, was accused
by U.S. prosecutors in New York last month of conspiring with other top
officials to protect cocaine traffickers, including a crime ring
allegedly led by the president’s younger brother, Juan Antonio “Tony”
Hernandez.
U.S.
prosecutors described the president’s brother as a “a violent,
multi-ton drug trafficker” after taking him into custody in Miami last
year. He has pleaded not guilty to weapons and drug charges.
The
charges include claims that about $1.5 million in drug money was used to
finance Hernandez’s 2013 presidential campaign, paying for bribes and
gifts to politicians who provided their support.
President Hernandez has denied the charges.
Asked
whether the Trump administration took the pending charges into account
while hashing out the migration accord with Hernandez, the senior DHS
official declined to answer.

I read that Pelosi and Trump talked yesterday and he was sure she wouldn't do the inquiry if he released the transcripts. The cabinet argued against it but Trump was sure Nancy would play ball. Evidently he was "incredulous" last night, but they had already announced that the readout was coming.

My guess is that tRump thought that the absence of a direct quid pro quo in the release would distract from what is coming next. It just creates a talking point like the "no collusion, no corruption" Mueller report release. Not what it said but he controlled the headline with his chud.

It is very close to quid pro quo, but to people that dont vote D, they will need more proof. Hopefully the whistleblower has it.

Hey, I need a favor."
Damn that sounds like they are talking about money and favors.
Zelensky told Trump his predecessor, President Barack Obama, “didn’t find time” to visit Ukraine.
“Can you give me word” you will visit? He asked Trump.
Trump remained noncommittal: “Well I’m going to try,” he said, noting that he once owned the Miss Universe pageants and, “We had a winner from Ukraine.”
