Crazy Mazie Hirono, Democrat Senator from Hawaii: We've got to get people to believe in global warming like it's a RELIGION
The forecast low tonight in Grand Rapids is 7 degrees F, which would tie tenth lowest in the record books for minimum temperature in November.
Transcript of Vindman Ukraine call testimony shows he offered no new facts, deemed transcript released by Trump "very accurate"
[T]he Vindman transcript also showed a witness whose testimony was filled
with opinion, with impressions, who had little new to offer, who
withheld important information from the committee, who was steeped in a
bureaucracy that has often been hostile to the president, and whose
lawyer, presumably with Vindman's approval, expressed unmistakable
disdain, verging on contempt, for members of Congress who asked
inconvenient questions. In short, Vindman's testimony was not the
slam-dunk hit Democrats portrayed it to be. ...
Now, parts of the foreign policy bureaucracy are in open war with the
president, channeling their grievances through the House Democrats'
drive toward impeachment. When he testifies in public, Vindman will be
the living embodiment of that bureaucratic war.

So-called whistleblower Eric Ciaramella was really just a leaker opposed to Trump Ukraine policy, a holdover from the Obama administration
When the issue of Ukraine was brought up at a policy meeting,
Ciaramella mentioned aid to Ukraine. He became visibly upset, the
official recounted, when he was told that Trump would review Ukraine
policy and that it would likely not be the same as President Barack
Obama’s. “He kind of rolled his eyes and went, 'Hmph!' He didn't leave
the room, but it was pretty clear that he thought that we were wrong and
he was right. ... I never trusted him with anything after that."

Trade wars started in 2018 instead of 2017 by default, the same reason immigration wars started after he lost the House
Trump never had a strategy for getting what he ran on, but the GOP had a strategy for getting what it wanted.
Trump should have leveraged this situation to his advantage. You give me my immigration checklist, my trade checklist, I'll give you corporate tax reform and defense spending. Instead, the phony Art of the Deal author caved and gave them everything without getting anything.
Trump wasted the first entire year on repealing and replacing Obamacare, the latter being the fool's errand Trump in his hubris added after securing the nomination. Did he not pay attention to the clash between Democrats in 2009 over the House healthcare plan vs. the Senate plan? It took a Herculean effort to get a compromise, all without Republican input. Like he could get Republicans united for something similar, after ripping them all to shreds in 2016.
Total doofus, surrounded by doofi.
The only thing he's getting right is that he doesn't need anybody to conduct the trade war. Doesn't really matter when he conducts it, but Republicans would have been begging him to end it much earlier if he had started it much earlier. And that is the definition of the art of the deal.
Too bad he didn't think of it.

The NSC's top ethics lawyer can't be very top if he didn't say to his twin brother Alexander Vindman, "Bro, really, ask somebody else"
The Vindman brothers are a real pair.
