Latest Trump Impeachment Scandal is Also Garbage
He’s still guilty of genocide in an illegal war, so, you know, there’s always that.
But anyway, go read Reason this morning about the Ukraine nonsense.
Short version:
Biden and Kerry’s sons were cashing in on their dads’ connections in Ukraine and China, but there’s no clear evidence of their fathers’ corrupt interventions on their behalf in getting the “jobs.”
Biden pushed to get the prosecutor fired, but there’s no clear evidence that was directly related to any investigation of Biden’s son’s firm.
Trump pushed the new Ukrainian president to investigate Biden’s son’s firm, but there’s no clear evidence that there was a direct quid pro quo or withholding of “aid” like in the accusations. As even the Post admits:
Republican senators on the Senate Appropriations Committee said Sept. 12 that the aid to Ukraine had been held up while the Trump administration explored whether Zelensky, the country’s new president, was pro-Russian or pro-Western. They said the White House decided to release the aid after Sen. Richard J. Durbin (D-Ill.) threatened to freeze $5 billion in Pentagon funding for next year unless the money for 2019 was distributed.
There so you see another nothing.
But according to liberal media, if true this is a big deal, etc.

Update: Pelosi is to announce official impeachment inquiry over this shit. The Democrats are completely ridiculous/suicidal at this point. They do nothing but lie and assume and accuse and pretend that any unproven allegation against Trump amounts to a constitutional crisis demanding his removal from office.
For the record, I support impeaching and removing all presidents, including Trump, though I prefer for actual crimes of state, like war crimes in Yemen for example. (Trump and Obama both should be prosecuted together for their atrocities there.) But in this case, the Democrats just look like pathetic sore losers who will do anything to try to overturn the results of the last election, even with the next one coming up in a year. And making their front-runner’s son’s corruption the underlying context of the whole matter? They’re as stupid as they are loud.
US Claims to Kill ‘Al Qaeda’ Fighters in Afghanistan
Yeah right. USA needs an excuse for killing 40 civilians at a wedding the day after killing 30 civilian pine nut-pickers. So: Al Qaeda!
In this Fox News piece they don’t even pretend the “al Qaeda” guys they killed were Arab friends of Osama at all. One was Pakistani. One was Bangladeshi. They say. Oh, see “AQ in the Subcontinent” counts if the US government says so. And since they need the safe haven myth as their excuse to stay, we’ll be hearing more bs like this in the coming months — and years.

Year Zero: Trump, Biden, Saudi Arabia, and the Intelligence Community
In episode 68 Tommy looks at the latest news surrounding Hunter Biden, Trump, and the deployment of troops to Saudi Arabia to defend against the threat that is Iran. Tommy speculates that given the history of business interest and intelligence interest merging that the reason Trump is once again being threatened by leaks has to do with his unwillingness to stick to the protocol of National Security laid out before him upon taking office.

SAUDI Arabia has brutally executed 134 people so far this year, including six who were kids when they were arrested.
The slain were tortured and slaughtered by brutal methods – including crucifixion and beheading, according to a human rights organisation.
At least 58 of those killed were foreign nationals and most were accused of spreading Shia Islam – a crime in the Sunni Arab state.
There were 21 Pakistanis, 15 Yemenis, five from Syria and four from Egypt.
Two Jordanians, two Nigerians, a Somalian and two from unidentified nations were also included in the figures.
On April 22, a horrific mass execution was carried out by the savage regime involving 37 men being killed.
One was crucified and another had his head impaled on a spike.
Those killed during the beheading bloodbath had all been convicted of “terrorism offences” in the hardline kingdom.
Grandmother Sends 6-Year-Old Child to Government School, is Surprised They Sent Her to Jail
What did you think, that the government wasn’t just waiting for a chance to kidnap your 6-year-old little grandbaby away so they can make their quota or whatever? Did you think they were going to take real good care of her? Snap out of it, this is the real world, not some TV show. The government hates you. They are out to get you. No law can protect you from their sloth and wrath. Try to stay out of their way. Like maybe don’t deliberately send your helpless children directly into their vile clutches, for example.
