The Great 2019 Disconnection

Fiona Hill

It's amazing, while surfing through the Facebooksphere, encountering the number of my friends, all of whom identifying themselves as professed conservatives, who are stating that the testimonies of the various career officers are complete vindication of the criminal enterprise which now occupies the White House.

 

You can't make this stuff up, folks.

The testimonies of Alexander Vindman, Marie Yavanovich and Fiona Hill knocked those balls out of the park. Hill in particular was such an impressive and substantive witness that most of those right wing clowns couldn't bear to ask her any questions. Jim Jordon spent his entire time during his so-called cross examination with her making a bloviating, fact-challenged speech.

Speaking of Jim Jordon....

He is in serious competition with poor old Mitch McConnell for the title of the most hated human being on Capitol Hill. Here's a guy utterly lacking (obviously) in even a tenth of a milligram in historical perspective. Has he not ever seen any documentaries or read any books about the late Senator Joe McCarthy? Does he not understand that, nearly sixty-three years after his death McCarthy is almost universally renowned by historians and people with an IQ above room temperature as being a villain and the ultimate buffoon? Does Jim Jordon understand that there will be no statues erected to his memory; that there will be no elementary or high schools named in his memory? And - for the love of Mike - Can't this jackass see that he is never going to be president of the United States? Not in 2024 - not ever. Get a grip, Jimmy.

And yet, in spite of everything, more than a third of your fellow countrymen and women have been so shockingly dumbed down that they continue to wholeheartedly support what is, beyond any doubt, the most corrupt and incompetent administration in the entire history of human mediocrity.

An now we are learning that Rep. Devin Nunes, who has made such a sham of the entire process, may have been in cahoots with the very corrupt players in Ukraine in trying to get what everyone in-the-know agrees to be non-existent dirt on Joe Biden and his son Hunter. As John Oliver calls it, this is "Stupid Watergate". Only this is far worse than Watergate on its worst day. I imagine that at this late stage in the game, Donald Trump is envious of Dick Nixon. As much as they desperately try to edit the narrative of this complete fiasco to their own twisted benefit, there is no way out for theses schmucks. The day The Donald took the oath of office was the beginning of the end of his tenure at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. You had to have been blind not to see this disaster coming from ten thousand miles down the road.

Life is interesting.

AFTERTOUGHT: I could not let this go without a full-sized photo of Marie Yavanovich:

The lady is cutting edge!
