The President's lawyer Gulliani is under the delusion all branches of goverment are controled by the Cheato.
Mr.G tells the Prez;
The Sumprem Court Justice Roberts, appointed by Trump, may simply dismiss the trial in the Senate and save time and tumult.

The constitution says the Supreme Court will preside over the trial.

Since a judge can dismiss a trial he also has the power to set aside a verdict, which means he tells the jury they are full of shit and the judge will sentence the defendant.

Since the trial may begin next week I guess its up to Trump to decide how much he will pay Roberts to dismiss.

The purpose of bringing all of the motions to amend yesterday [until 2 this morning was not to win the votes on the items. It was to get the Republicans on the record as opposing a real trial. The only one who broke with the majority even once was Collins. The decisions were a foregone conclusion.

Roberts came across well last night but only broke with his largely ceremonial role when he admonished both sides for calling each other liars rather than using pussy foot language such as "My worthy opponent is truly mistaken about the facts, which are . . ." His statement essentially said "This is the Senate in which a certain standard of decorum is expected."

Those who support Trump are simply reciting the party line over and over, regardless of what everyone knows to be true. Repeat it often enough and the news cycle shifts and maybe the lies hit eyeballs first. There are various sayings about how fast lies travel:

“A lie will go round the world while truth is pulling its boots on.” C. H. Spurgeon, Gems from Spurgeon (1859).
An earlier version appears in the Portland (Me.) Gazette, Sept. 5, 1820: “Falsehood will fly from Maine to Georgia, while truth is pulling her boots on.”
Still earlier, Jonathan Swift wrote in The Examiner, Nov. 9, 1710: “Falsehood flies, and the truth comes limping after it.”

Trump is hoping a lie will set him free. The rest of us are hoping that as citizens watch their senators toe the line and not support the constitution that they will unelect them in the next cycle.

Patriots vs Partisans

The bottom line is that I have a healthy belief in Americans being able to accomplish virtually anything, so long as we are united and apply ourselves appropriately. By default, anything that can undo our unity stands in the way of Americans employing “good ole’ Yankee ingenuity” and facing down any threat or problem is our most serious national security threat. In our current environment, so-called “fake news,” intentionally and unintentionally disseminated by foreign enemies and those who believe themselves patriotic is without a doubt the single most effective means of undoing our national unity. This, in my opinion makes “fake news” our primary national security threat.

No problem or, by extension, threat can be solved or mitigated while we are at odds with our fellow citizens. Our enemies understand this all too well and do all possible to unravel the tightly woven, patriotic fabric of U.S. society with media designed to divide us. Their primary method is to use mis- and disinformation as tools to divide us or, as is commonly known these days, “fake news.” The truth is facts matter and, more importantly, the truth that is made up by those facts matters the most. The only ingredient missing between opposing groups, political parties, ethnicities, etc., is settling on a foundation of facts to any problem or threat. Like all problem solving, you cannot succeed without analysis of what is known.

The street wise recognize the mistake that the former reality show master of ceremony and corrupt businessman has made. It is the same mistake made by petty criminals and polished con men alike.
It is repeating the same crime multiple times until a Method of Operation cause them to be captured and convicted.
'Smart crooks' realize you don't pull the same con twice, you do a new scam.

There is also a fraction of criminals who derive an additional thrill from the risk of getting caught and say things to make it more possible. I see both of these behaviors in my President.

My aim is not to educate criminals but to show an absense of common sense among criminals.





Senator Schiff reminds us:

"When a man unprincipled in private life, desperate in his fortune, bold in his tenper, possessed of some talents, having the example of military habits - despotic in his ordinary demeanor - knpwn to have scoffed in private at he principles of liberty - when such a man is seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity - to join in the cry of danger to liberty - to take every opportunity of embarrassing the General Government and bringing it under suspicion - to flatter and fall in with all the nonsense of the zealots of the day - it may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may 'ride the storm and direct the whirlwind'"

I take heart from Don Trump's extraordinary ignorance. He knows only the history of Adolf Hitler from Mien Kampf. If he knew of Crassus he would be far more dangerous and have an affinity for the man. He is often called "The richest man in Rome". A multi billionaire in todays economy, he 'earned' his money as a real estate tycoon.

Crassus began his public career as a military commander under Lucius Cornelius Sulla during his civil war. Following Sulla's assumption of the dictatorship, Crassus amassed an enormous fortune through real estate speculation. Rome voted to give Crassus an army to defeat a slave revolt that scared the rich. Crassus rose to political prominence following his victory over the slave revolt led by Spartacus, sharing the consulship with his rival Pompey the Great. The word decimation started with Crassus when he punished his army for a loss in battle by haveing 1 in 10 soldiers beaten to death by fellow soldiers.

A political and financial patron of Julius Caesar, Crassus joined Caesar and Pompey in the unofficial political alliance known as the First Triumvirate. Together the three men dominated the Roman political system. The alliance did not last long, due to the ambitions, egos, and jealousies of the three men. While Caesar and Crassus were lifelong allies, Crassus and Pompey disliked each other and Pompey grew increasingly envious of Caesar's spectacular successes in the Gallic Wars. The alliance was re-stabilized at the Lucca Conference in 56 BC, after which Crassus and Pompey again served jointly as consuls. Following his second consulship, Crassus was appointed as the Governor of Roman Syria. Crassus used Syria as the launchpad for a military campaign against the Parthian Empire, Rome's long-time Eastern enemy. Crassus' campaign was a disastrous failure, ending in his defeat and death at the Battle of Carrhae.

Crassus' death permanently unravelled the alliance between Caesar and Pompey. His political influence and wealth had been a counterbalance to the two greater militarists. Within four years of Crassus' death, Caesar crossed the Rubicon and began a civil war against Pompey and the Optimates. You probably know how that ended.

I'm almost hypnotized by the impeachment trial. Firstly, there are some pretty good lawyers, some famous for being paid a lot, and some of the ones who are famous for being paid a lot are good. There's the chief justice of the Supreme Court presiding over the conduct of the trial, and Mitch McConnell, one of the most astute and evil Senators of recent times presiding over the proceedings of the Senate.
I have found excellent speakers on both sides. One of the President's lawsyers, I think but I didn't get the name, was Cippolone. The other was Dershowitz. I think they both showed great linguistic skill in defending the President. Sekulow has a lot of attitude, but I think he is prime misdirector of the argument. He will obfuscate out of every side of his mouth, and he has more sides than most. Most likely to graduate to mob lawyer.
So far, I find Adam Schiff to be the moral conscience of the entire case. And He doesn't seem to miss anything; his clarity of diction and plain speaking of the principles he is defending, his elocution, is a marvel. I also think a lot of Zoe Lofgren.

Because of Forest Gump like coincidence I have known Mob bosses all my life starting with the the big boss meeting in my hometown of Appalacain NY , between Owego and Vestal . I have always seen bosses get away with it via witness tampering or murder, but only at first. Eventually the boss gets caught red handed or eliminated.

As a therapist in pre Soprano times I had a M boss as a client during the A team B team wars in NY. I even heard the explosion of the car that killed a boss, I accidently learned that the police knew of the hit ahead of time. Later a nurse who treated the boss who was car bombed told me he was in one piece but died of pressure induced massive capillary bleed.
A previous tenent left a list of victims that had already been eliminated and the list was found under the sink. Against all odds I even met Mr. Gambino and others. There were more shocking coincidences that I hesitate to mention that the police wanted me to cover up. It involved the mob stealing back evidence and heroin from a State Police station. I had the recording of details off a special radio receiver that preceded microwave telephones.

"How will the nation’s Republican senators look anyone in the face and say they have any rights to keep in check a corrupt and criminal president? How can they pretend to be Trump’s victims when they marched themselves off a constitutional cliff?

And how on earth can they pretend to the world that their vision of America – where a president can happily use military aid to coerce a foreign government to smear his political rival in an election – is the model for democracy?

Today’s Republican party elected to remove their spinal cords three years ago, along with much of their frontal lobe and their self-respect. They wring their hands in private and lament their lampoon-worthy leader whose shoes they must lick on a daily basis.

But they should know they are following in a fine tradition of the world’s puppet legislators, like the People’s Council of Syria and the Russian Duma under the expert guidance of one Vladimir Putin."

All is fair in love and war and the dirty tricks of politics

The Constitution requires the President deliver a letter to Congress(which is what the copy handed to Pelosi represents). The speech is NOT required. Hence she destroyed a Constitutionally required document.

As opposed to POSOTUS Trump who has destroyed the Constitution entirely, with the active assistance of the Trumpublican shits in the Senate.

Welcome to The Bannana Republic Of The United States, soon to reprise 1930's Germany, if it isn't there already.

George Conway’s opinion in the Washington Post. Viewed from the far side of the ditch, it sums up the entire farcical situation perfectly.

Its Trump that is touched.

He proclaimed the opposite of the entire sermon on the mount at a prayer celebration yesterday. He was met with laughter and applause.

who among these many candidates is capable and strong enough to lead us through what could be nothing at all, or could be a terrible national crisis. Food shortages, panic, quarantine, loss of jobs, eminent domain. No hospital beds..maybe beds laid out in a field somewhere. Who comes to mind? Warren? Can't see it. Bernie? Can't see it. Joe..could see it 30 years ago. Booker. gone but mr. nice guy. Tulsi..maybe but she won't get nomination. Budd? Not sure. Bloomberg ..i just don't know. None spring to mind. One person in my lifetime springs to mind and that is General Honore but he is not running. One first lady that made emergencies her mission was Marilyn Quayle. Not sure what she is doing. Trump? Only will save the 1%. Pence? Only will save the saved. One thing I believe is that some unknowns just perking along will rise to the occasion but I don't know who. And do this at the same time as dealing with Iran, climate change, Brexit, Megxit, etc. Maybe some of the generals that trump deposed.
