Holy crap, y’all, they did a slideshow of the document dump from hell.
And if that’s not enough entertainment for the day, you’ve also got the whole Kevin McCarthy scrapbook montage.

Anybody want to bet that Matt Gaetz took the photo?
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
UPDATE: Wait! Wait! There’s more ….
Republicans efforts to stymie the Senate impeachment trial continued this week with Senate rules committee Roy Blunt announcing that access by the press will be severely restricted during proceedings and even excluded completely at times. Blunt lied that these restrictions are the same as during the Clinton trial, but they’re not. This is simply a continuing effort by Trump enablers to make a mockery of these proceedings including even trying to dismiss the charges before a trial even happens, keeping witnesses and documents out of evidence, and coordinating directly with Trump’s goons in the WH. Cutting out the press?
It’s shameful, but not at all surprising.
Okay, I’ve watched 45 minutes of the debate and I can tell you one damn thing — I could happily support any one of those candidates over Donald Trump.
I am also impressed with CNN for keeping this roadshow on track and running. And the candidates for staying on message.
The Energy Department on Monday agreed to begin releasing a cache of Ukraine-related records, including former Energy Secretary Rick Perry’s communications with high-level Ukrainian officials.
Mark your calendar!
Tuesday, January 28 – documents will include records relating to the presidential delegation Perry led to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s inauguration last May. This one will probably involve begging and the word bullshit several times.
Tuesday, February 4 – Another package of documents, focused in part on Perry’s and McCormack’s communications with Giuliani. Oh, yummy!
Monday, March 16 – described only as “a third cache of Ukraine-related documents.” This is probably the good stuff.
Somebody please hide Rick’s passport. Now that he’s got those fake Superman glasses, he’s ready to make a quick getaway.
Senator Tim Kaine says that he may have as many as a dozen Republican votes to support his attempt to “curtail President Trump’s ability to go to war with Iran, thanks to the reportedly disastrous security briefing Secretary of State Mike Pompeo gave legislators last week.”
Kaine says it may be more. Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee thinks it’s more like 7 votes. We only need four, or more likely 5 because nobody wants to be left depending on Susan Collins, who has become Lucy with a football when it comes to doing the right thing.
By the way, after hearing about Pompeo’s secret briefing, I understand why there’s no press conferences any more. There’s no Sean Spicer who’s willing to lie and take the fall for looking like a damnfool. That’s what it has come to.
AlterNet says that some pranksters posted this sign at their local military enlistment center.
The tag line reminded me of something. Trump likes to says that the people he kills die “like cowards.”
Well, there’s this. After saying he looks forward to a fair trial and complete vindication, Trump is now saying he wants the Senate to vote to dismiss the impeachment the minute they get it. No hearing, no opening statements, no diddle squat. That. That right there. That’s a coward.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up on the poster.
