Ahhh thanks @BlueBelle. I don’t mind telling you this Democrat in Ky is a little nervous about the Governors election coming up next month. Our gov is a jerk and he is a shyster along the likes of Rand Paul. It’s funny I really can’t say I am nervous about MoscowMitch, I truly think he is on his way out. But Bevins is another can of beans. Send some light and good will to “my ole Kentucky home” please.
Republican Congressman Francis Rooney (FL) spoke out publicly today to say that he believes that the impeachment inquiry is warranted and necessary.
John Kasich, former Republican governor of Ohio, also said publicly today that he believes Trump should be impeached.
Republican Romney also gave a very impassioned speech about Trump today, calling for public hearings in the Senate regarding Trump's conversations with Turkey's Erdogan.
All just tiny cracks, but cracks none the less.
As I've mentioned previously, ever since Baba mentioned hearing the song "Blow the Man" down in a prediction, I've been waking up with the song on my mind and humming it subconsciously throughout the day.
This morning, however, I woke with these lyrics from a different song running around - LOUDLY - my head:
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's down in the dark will be brought to the light
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down

Don’t forget yesterday confession by Mulvaney
On Thursday, White House acting chief of staff and Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney seemingly admitted in a press briefing to reporters that the administration engaged in a quid-pro-quo with Ukraine to trade US military aid for investigations.
He also elaborated that it is done all the time and to get over it.
Also, Rick Perry quit.
Energy Secretary Rick Perry said he contacted Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani at the president’s behest to talk about Ukraine—and then resigned. And European Union Ambassador Gordon Sondland told House investigators that Trump had delegated power over U.S. foreign policy in Ukraine to Giuliani, and added that it was “wrong” to link political requests to actions on Ukraine.
No one can stop that sinking ship..to many leaks and not enough plugs.
@RosieHeart - I think you meant Johnny CASH?
Johnny Carson wasn't known for his songwriting... ?
Oh my gosh - yes, Cash, not Carson! My mind must really be scrambled! Thanks for noticing that and for the good belly laugh when I read your post, Laura == it felt good to laugh at something silly for a change!
? ? ?
Apologies for posting this in two places - here and in the Elijah Cummings section. It also belongs here because it's a cup of refreshing water to the thirsty warrior. I'm putting it here for anyone who needs a lift during the weary battles ahead.
At 2:17 he is speaking like a prophet to a teary Michael Cohen, "This is part of your destiny, and I mean that from the depths of my heart. When we are dancing with the angels, the question will be asked, In 2019 what did we do to make sure we kept our democracy in tact. If we stand on the sidelines and say nothing.
"This is not about liking or not liking the president. This is about democracy! This is about generations yet unborn. That is what this is all about! And I'm begging, I'm begging the American people to pay attention to what is going on. Because if you want to have a democracy in tact for your children and your children's children and generations yet unborn, we have got to guard this moment."
Last night I dreamt that I was opening the all the curtains in my NYC apartment when I saw Air Force One coming toward the city low, fast, and at a fairly steep angle. I was sure the jet was going to hit the city, maybe even my roof. I braced for its impact near my building, but I didn't hear or feel it crash. I thought maybe it had gone into one of the rivers, and I went about my day. It was more reminiscent of 9/11 than of Scully's miraculous river landing.
Here's a positive spin. Air Force One is symbolic of the office of president and possibly the entire federal government. So if you didn't hear or feel it crash, then perhaps that means we are on a path towards avoiding destruction of our governing institutions and that our current crisis in government will pass.
@Coyote, I like your positive take on @SDJ's dream. The President's plane flying dangerously low over @SDJ's city could mean it's Trump's very personal legal problems based in NY/NYC courts that are heading for a perilous landing/confrontation, not a catastrophe of our country's governing institutions. His presidency could finally be abruptly grounded (as in ended) because of info revealed in NY/NYC courts. Just as the plane was flying fast, NY/NYC-based rulings and litigation against Trump are also moving fast just now. You used the words "steep angle" to describe the plane's descent--it could reference how his legal consequences will result in the irrefutably steep price he'll pay (financially, in his overall reputation/brand, and how his presidency will be recorded in history). No matter what angle or spin he attempts to take, he is going down.
It may very well have to do with the president and his New York Law Troubles. It is also where his "home" is located. Maybe he is coming home sooner and faster that expected. After a major disaster of his making. A former President always gets one last flight home after leaving office.
