Institutionalized Obstruction in the White House ?

[_Icarus]

Breaking news: At least four national security officials raised alarms about Ukraine policy before and after Trump call with Ukrainian president. But officials inside the White House reportedly searched for lawful vehicles to alert Congress to the President’s abuse of power, but did not have their own process for doing so— thus the need to reach out to officials who did have recourse to an Inspector General.

Attorney General William P. Barr met privately Wednesday evening with Rupert Murdoch. The meeting was held at Mr. Murdoch’s home in New York.

Most likely Barr was trying to influence Murdoch and Fox News on behalf of the Trump campaign and the organized effort to obstruct the impeachment investigation.

Here's the thing: Trump knows he can't win (at anything) without cheating. He knows he's a damned loser, which is why he keeps repeating that he's a winner (if he keeps saying the same thing over and over, we know it's a lie, just like we know that whenever he accuses someone of something, he's confessing his own crime). Most Americans are smart enough to know he's a corrupt moron. He couldn't win last time without Russia's help, and he certainly can't win this time without cheating either, which is why he's making up crap about Biden and trying to get Ukraine's help (knowing full well he's already got Russia's help locked up). Of course, it's not just Trump that has to cheat. The GOP has to cheat.

And that's because most people know the GOP sucks hairy damned balls. They have no choice but to cheat to win (well, or make policy people actually want - we know that'll never happen). Luckily, most people aren't stupid enough to think they give a crap about anyone but themselves.

Trump knows he can't win anything without cheating.

That's important to remember.

Trump knows he can't win anything without cheating.

And I'm starting to suspect the base knows it too. Hell, Geraldo pretty much exposed Hannity on his show, basically saying that Nixon would have gotten away with his crimes if he'd had a Hannity to lie on his behalf every night.

Fox News is both the New Mainstream and State Media.

But, that’s all cool with those ‘drain the swamp’ folks at Trump rallies, I’m sure. ; )

subs, with regard to suicide, and given your own beliefs, the item below would register as 100% true to you.

Rural suicides in the U.S. have climbed significantly in recent years, and farm leaders and mental health care providers say the financial toll of President Donald Trump’s trade war could contribute to the tragedy.

An official of the National Farmers Union warned earlier this year that financial stress, including the added burden of disappearing markets in the trade war, appear to be taking a toll on farmers’ mental health.

“It’s been insane,” Patty Edelburg, vice president of the organization that represents some 200,000 families, said on Fox News in May. “We’ve had a lot more bankruptcies going on, a lot more farmer suicides.”

She said the trade war with China could contribute to financial stress.

Subgenius, most likely Putin told Trump to hold off on that idea of suiciding the whistleblowers for now.
