Welch wins.

We’ll never get a chance to question the whistleblower.

But, you’ll get to question all the people that had even BETTER knowledge of events…

Do you like boys??? I mean, beer?

No duh, but still.

Please tell me that is an actual quote of what was said out loud, on the record. It just so accurately sums up this Administration.

Lead story on the nets that aren’t FOX is the new revelation that Trump was directing the demand for investigations himself, as overheard by the Taylor aide.

That aide will appear for a deposition at the end of the week.

Is this actually a quote or is he just making a joke? This is my problem with Twitter and the internet as a discussion platform. I am, within reason, skeptical that this was actually said. If it was not said and just some joke, thousands of people are going to read it and accept it as a point of historical record. There is no context there for me to have any knowledge one way or another.

It is Frum having a funny. The questioner was a Democrat (Eric Swalwell).

He’s paraphrasing to make a joke, but essentially that exchange occurred.

3397

I assumed so, and any other time in the past it would be obvious satire. But in 2019 I could see that being an actual exchange. It’s sad, but just read the comments and there are more than a couple people who most likely believe this was literally said.

Yes, it is a paraphrase, but it is pretty darned close to the actual quote. It just adds a bit.

Trump complaining publicly about the inspector general now. He’s for sure going to fire him, and Republicans will shrug.

3401

Well, it does need to be stated under oath.

3402

I regret sharing what I thought was an obvious joke from comedian Matt Oswalt to lighten the mood.

bazinga

That and one of the contestants keeps demanding to know where exactly these letters are appearing from when it’s their turn to play.

3405

Oh yes, go in on witness intimidation you sycophantic fucks.

I’m surprised he can speak from so deep up Trumps ass.

Gym “Rapey” Jordan is a complete and utter asshole with no redeeming qualities.
