Trump neutered the FEC by not appointing enough members to establish a quorum. The Supreme Leader don't need no steenking FEC.

Yep, was just about to post this. I remember Maddow freaking out about it at the time, like Trump would only try to deny a quorum if he was already planning to break the rules and solicit illegal donations. But hey, not like Americans have been paying attention to the Republic crumbling all around them when their 401ks are up 20%.

Trump selling out US foreign policy to get dirt on Biden and help him on his failing trade war.

The US president has offered a muted response to the protests, despite global backlash over China's encroachment in the semi-autonomous city.

Yeah... But...
Market is negative Y/Y.
Manufacturing is in recession.
Job gains sluggish.
Deficit exploding.
Economy looks pretty meh and slowing.

Will they wake up from the spell, or was it always just about the racism?

Can't wait to have that server investigated. If it has not done so the House needs to have the courts, itself, or whoever order that it not be tampered with and anyone doing so subject to criminal prosecution for obstruction even if directed by the Executive.

I would love to see a House redacted version of all relevant material without years going by to have it revealed. Trump may be the ultimate classification authority however that does not mean that holds for self-protection in an impeachment inquiry. Nixon did us a great favor it seems by establishing how impeachment proceedings play out and what cannot be hidden under the guise of Presidential authority.

I don't give a rats ass and sell my soul for a supposed link between Trump and funds. That's the Rep's strategy in large part. Look at the figures we give you and say Trump bettered your life and it doesn't matter if he destroys the Constitution and the rule of law for.

Thirty pieces of silver should buy your support because you owe Trump or Judas if you will.

Wonder if one of Trump's minions will just log into the server and delete damning conversations. He takes the hit and Trump pardons.

Access to that server needs to be immediately changed to read only.
