if they were any worse they'd hire Nintex to write columns

When I get a pullitzer I'll be sure to remember all the bro's and brodette's that supported me

I honestly can't tell if Cohen is actually pretty sharp or if GOP congressmen are just that fucking dumb

A little bit of column A, a little bit of column B.

Yeah, Cohen is doing well, and the Republicans look like the morons they are.

[Nintex]

LMAO Trump speaks in code according to Cohen that only people close to him understand.
"He says one thing but wants you to do something else" (are they sure?  )

Also no Russian money in the campaign according to Cohen and no pee tape that he knows about.

[james]

What is Bork doing in the other thread guys Im scared

Scrubbing all mention of the problematic game studio THQ presumably.

Republicans - Everything Cohen says about Russia is true and everything else is a lie.

[Great Rumbler]

This has to be good television cause I haven't seen a killjoy This Is Distracting Us From The Real Issues take yet.

In the Youtube comments there are people claiming this is an attempt to distract from Trump's Saigon summit. I mean, the timing might actually be intentional, but it's still a dumb take.

I'm pretty sure that was what Eric Trump was arguing earlier in the day.

[Occam]

Nice. With all of this coming out, how could Trump possibly not be fucked?

[agrajag]

AOC is so efficient 

I missed it what happened

[james]

Because hes not Hillary

[Occam]

Because we knew a lot of this stuff already (Trump directing Cohen to commit campaign finance violation, the WaPo reporting on him stealing money from his own charity, the coverup of his affair) and nothing happened.

But until now it was hearsay/rumors...

[TakingBackSunday]

yo, holy shit at the tlaib/meadows exchange

really fucked up that she had to apologize for calling him racist

[BlueTsunami]

AOC is so efficient

No frills questions about inflating his income and how it relates to his properties, his inherited money and who the committee can talk to if Cohen didnt know. They're going after Trumps taxes and web of income at some point.

If all else fails, they gonna Capone Trump

[agrajag]

AOC 

[Occam]

That was good.
The speech of the chairman almost moved Cohen to tears.
Every single Repugnican who sat there today and asked the wrong questions is a despicable piece of shit.

[TakingBackSunday]

for real though, I'm legitimately surprised at how awful neogaf is now

Seems she hit a nerve. And of course he used it to play the victim. This theatrical display almost made me laugh. Mark Meadows is scum.

Cummings surrounding himself with some cuties 👀 in that post meeting media questions. Let me find out, old man.

No kidding, I just had a look. Those people are braindead. Where did they all come from? New members or just in hiding before the exodus?

Joke's on you, my crush on AOC has been blossoming for some time now.

[james]

No mainstream coverage of the Oakland teacher strike at all, despite it being on its fifth day. Kamala and Sanders gave it passing mentions.

Trump hasn't tweeted about it, so it's not news

[VomKriege]

No deal in Vietnam, that's Hanoï-ing.

[Occam]

"Trump, Kim abruptly cut short summit after failing to reach nuclear deal" (wapo)
Hilarious.

And the way "conservative" media treated Cohen's testimony would make Goebbels proud.
Almost 50% of the US population appears to be brainwashed, living inside a fantasy land.

"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

[Nola]

“Despite coming on the eve of more politically timed attacks, amidst Cohen admitting their was no collusion, Trump shows courage and walks away from a bad deal unlike Obama and Dems that bowed to Iran and took an awful deal to get headlines. Does this show how truly great a negotiator Trump is?”


...Democrat Joe Lieberman joins us to discuss right after Dining with Doocy checks in with frequent guest Paula Dean to make some fried chicken and her famous cornbread cracklin to cap off black history month with Fox and Friends.

[agrajag]

I can't believe the Demoncrats and Michael Cohen sabotaged the President's nucular deal.

[BlueTsunami]

Kim walked away being absolved of the killing of a US citizen though

good jon, Trump

[agrajag]

the madman has done it again, beast mode!

[Mandark]

Would have preferred a meaningless "agreement" that Trump could brag about.

Just get us to the end of his presidency without him starting a shooting war.

[Occam]

Republicans look at this and see three lights, because that's what they have been told. And they believe that anyone who actually counts the number of lights and reaches the conclusion that there are four is dumb.

[agrajag]

Kim Jong Un is not to blame for Otto Warmbier's murder.

Putin is not to blame for election meddling.

MBS is not to blame for Jamal Khashoggi's murder.

I’m surprised Kim couldn’t talk Trump into accepting some bullshit deal, or at the very least a ceremonial one. Trump must have been super pissed about Cohen.

It was good timing for the internet to remind everyone he campaigned on sending Obama “back to Kenya or wherever he’s from”.

Virginia’s first lady is the subject of harsh criticism for handing raw cotton to two black students while giving a historical tour of the Executive Mansion’s former slave quarters, asking the students to consider what it would have been like to be a slave.

Pam Northam and her husband, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, were hosting about 100 young people who had served as legislative assistants, or pages, during the state Senate session when the incident took place, according to the Washington Post. The governor’s mansion in Virginia is the oldest one in the U.S., and was completed in 1813. The historic kitchen, where slaves and servants once lived and worked, still overlooks the garden.

While showing the cottage to about 20 pages, Northam held up samples of both cotton and tobacco — two of the crops commonly picked by slaves. She is accused of then targeting two of the only black pages in the group and attempting to hand them pieces of cotton as part of a hands-on demonstration, according to CBS affiliate WTVR. A firsthand account of the events was detailed in a letter written by an eighth grade girl in the group and addressed to Northam, a former middle school teacher. The girl is the daughter of Leah Dozier Walker, who oversees the Office of Equity and Community Engagement at the state Education Department.

“There are only three black pages in the page class of 2019,” the letter reportedly reads. “When you went to hand out the cotton you handed it straight to another African-American page, then you proceeded to hand it to me. I did not take it. The other page took the cotton, but it made her very uncomfortable. I will give you the benefit of the doubt, because you gave it to some other pages. But you followed this up by asking: ‘Can you imagine being an enslaved person, and having to pick this all day?'”

A spokesperson for the first lady denied she purposely singled out any black pages, according to the Post, and another student who was part of the tour corroborated that story, saying the the first lady handed out the cotton to the entire group.

Outrage sells.
(Since sex is now frowned on in God's own country, something else that sells had to be found.)

[kingv]

to be fair, Ralph Northam knows a little something about what it’s like to be black.

Best 5 minutes of the hearing. AOC is growing on me. I quite like her when she doesn't smile or create memes.
It's quite amazing to see an intelligent, decent, non-geriatric person in congress. Imagine the entire hearing had been like this.

[Mandark]

Guess Kim Jun Un is no longer a great leader who sees the potential of his country by the time Trump is back behind a microphone.
 

[Mandark]

hey remember when you told us they already had a deal in place

remember that

[Nintex]

hey remember when you told us they already had a deal in place

remember that

They already do. They just need Kim and Trump to sign it but they both don't want to make it look easy.

The deal is simple:
- The US removes the sanctions and the US and South Korea economically support North Korea
- North Korea denuclearizes

This deal is what Trump and Kim need to agree on, but neither wants to blink first.

[Boredfrom]

And Trump just suddenly accepted to look like at total amateur.

no you said they'd already agreed to a deal before the first meeting

not "in my head there exists a deal which they should agree to"

are you able to successfully lie to people in person? trying to figure out why you keep trying it on here
