Well, golly gee willikers. A new down-homey tRump apologist, Doug Collins, entered stage right today. His arguments were that the room was too cold, his chair too uncomfortable and something untrue and unintelligible about the process. He also had some heavy duty gas lines installed just for the occasion so he could get good flow for his lighting efforts. Aside from saying the words “disputed facts” several times, he didn’t actually dispute any facts. Collins joins Nunes, Jordan and Stefanik as the poster poseurs for defense by smoke, mirrors and smug, pouty faces.
The republican requested witness, Jonathan Turley, said in essence, tRump did bad stuff, but we are moving too fast. The other three witnesses said, tRump did bad stuff and we’re not going too fast. Everybody in the room, except some of the card carrying cult members agreed tRump did bad stuff.*
While all this was going on, we learned the emergency White House proctology team were unsuccessful in their attempts to remove Devin Nunes’ head from Donald tRump’s ass. The consensus is that extracting Devin would be inadvisable, as he would be unable to survive away from his principal food source. Current fellow residents McConnell, Jordan, Graham, Kennedy, Johnson, Giuliani and now Collins will just have to continue to put up with the overcrowded conditions until such time as tRump denies knowing him and shits all over Devin’s parade. WIth both Giuliani and Nunes becoming more embarrassing to Donald every day, Ladbrokes has the over-under time until forced expulsion for Rudy at 76 hours with Devin trailing significantly at 143 hours. Neither are expected to receive Xmas cards or invites to the Mar-a-Lago New Year’s bacchanal and virgin sacrifice.
In our search for some tidbit of trivia to lighten the mood, we ran across the claim that the seagulls in Finding Nemo were, in fact modeled after tRump’s priorities and the voices in his head as reported by Melania during one of her recent escape attempts. See for yourself:
* I didn’t get to watch all of today’s testimony as I ended up helping a friend with car troubles for most of the afternoon. I understand, I missed a lot more of the same.

Goodie got in a few licks against sexism in politics. A lot of closet neanderthals got triggered, but they deserve it. Everyone loves Kamala Harris.... Now that she isn't running for president anymore
