They don’t care in the slightest about other people.

That’s okay because it’s the royal family, thus it’s legal and in fact it’s something that should make all Americans proud.

Wait, didn’t the UN help with the creation of Israel?

Sadly, I think the most telling part of the video is at the beginning when she says “We’ll be watching you” and the audience reacts with a chuckle, like the whole concept of being accountable to the public is a cute little in-joke. They expected her to pivot from that to a “Thank you very much for having me, so excited to be hear!” hollow speech of the type that they are used to hearing. Of course it is great that she then proceeded to eviscerate them for their shameful inaction, but I don’t think it’s going to stick. We all watch that and think “Wow! Surely they will be moved, as I am, to feel shame and take action!”. No. The chuckles at the beginning show who they really are. They are secure and safe in their well paying, prestigious careers and they will “consider both sides, be reasonable” it right up until global catastrophe hurts everyone else orders of magnitude worse than it hurts them. And they will absolutely gaslight the public after with “no one thought it would be this bad” nonsense so they can sleep at night.

This honestly makes me so mad. My favorite person in the world is my wife’s 8 year old niece who is smart, compassionate, and fucking deserves a future worth living.

Administration officials were instructed to tell lawmakers that the delays were part of an “interagency process” but to give them no additional information — a pattern that continued for nearly two months, until the White House released the funds on the night of Sept. 11.

Trump’s order to withhold aid to Ukraine a week before his July 25 call with Volodymyr Zelensky is likely to raise questions about the motivation for his decision and fuel suspicions on Capitol Hill that Trump sought to leverage congressionally approved aid to damage a political rival. The revelation comes as lawmakers clash with the White House over a related whistleblower complaint made by an intelligence official alarmed by Trump’s actions.

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.

Checking in with my NeverTrump center right father… He isn’t sure if what Trump did with Ukraine is wrong, because there’s no way to know for sure that Trump was doing it for partisan political gain… He thinks the president has the right to ask foreign governments to look into any US citizen who may have done something wrong, and unless Trump admits it we have no way of knowing that he was actually even doing this for partisan gain.

That hot take got me to start cursing in front of my mother, which is pretty rare for me.

Meanwhile, things are happening. Pelosi apparently had a meeting tonight with aides and Dem leadership to see how they feel. Dingell came out for impeachment.

I assume Nancy is going to write an even more strongly worded letter. But maybe she’ll finally step up.

I’m completely checked out on Pelosi and House Dems. She sucks, they suck, too late.

But the Ukrainian leader was apparently left with a different impression. Murphy, who spoke with Zelensky during an early September visit to Ukraine, said Monday that the Ukrainian president “directly” expressed concerns at their meeting that “the aid that was being cut off to Ukraine by the president was a consequence” of his unwillingness to launch an investigation into the Bidens.
