The Army protecting Vindman is an outrage.

"Outrage"? Sigh, again with the emotional reactions. Why not step back and analyze the game board with a little bit more objectivity? Here's an example: the Army protecting Vindman confirms they are the deep state. Now, isn't that not only accurate, but also neatly sums up why Trump cannot realistically act against the deep state?

I sometimes wonder how is it that so many @ FR seem to really miss the big picture. The entire edifice of government, including the DoD and contractors, are intimately wed to the status quo. Foreign engagements are the literal life-blood for ambitious career officers. There is simply no advantage provided in defending the nation's actual borders vs commanding $ billion dollar divisions of men & equipment.

Thus we have the MIC firmly engaged in sabotaging Trump. QED So, where are all the flag worshippers now, when the flag is the official symbol of oppression? When does one finally wake up and realize the coup was actually successful? The only variable is when it actually too place: 50-60 years ago, heck, maybe 90, maybe even 110 years ago?

Trump was just the right kind of fool to use the citizen's dawning awareness to garner the office for himself, buy way, way too weak to actually take them on. Hence, the result we see today where he's paying the price for his hubris.

I’m glad you posted this!

Earl Blumenauer; his district includes most of Portland, Oregon east of the Willamette River. He was first elected in 1996. From 1987 to 1996 he “served” on the Portland City Council.

Rush said that this Blumenauer dirtbag has been leading a boycott of the hotel/real estate business owned by Sonerland’s wife.

Like you said, this is witness tampering!

And Blumenauer’s tweet to Sonerland this morning saying “Welcome to the Resistance” is outrageous!


Why doesn’t this get brought up in the hearing? The rats brought up Trumps tweet the other day and accused him of intimidation.

the real concentration in the senate should be the number 34...probably being worked on now, even as we speak.

Oh, yeah.

Sondland is an idiot who caused all this by “assuming” there was a quid pro quo.

The hearing room applause is deeply offensive.

An assumption isn’t a statement of fact. Its simply an opinion. From a legal point of view, it means absolutely nothing.

They need 67. Assuming all 47 Democrats and independents vote eye, they need to flip 20 GOP senators.

Actually, the WB and Vindman are the idiots who caused all this. Sondland's just trying to get out of this with his business and job intact.

I agree .. the applause IS deeply offensive. But we'll have our time for this. :)

yes when asked if an investigation would help trump he should have replied it depends on the results of that investigation-is bidens were cleared it would help them and hurt the president just like this investigation found nothing it will help the president. if they found corruption it would hurt the bidens..

I know Pelosi has almost every RAT in sync and politics is a blood sport. But I really wonder how the moderate RATS can sleep at night!

These Ambassador jobs are highly sought after and usually cost a lot to get.

Have never understood why people are so desperate to get them

“Why doesn’t this get brought up in the hearing?”

You ask a good question, Faith65.

Maybe the good guys....Jim Jordan, Mark Meadows, Devin Nunes, Elise Stefanik (not sure of the spelling) aren’t aware of Blumenauer’s actions.....yet.
