When our PRESIDENT ELECT was born on the Big Island he was named Johnny but his grand father called him pono because he saw the good in anything. Specifically he saw that Lib conjecture and innuendo would end and no collusion would be found. Check out his life story on Disney + under the title Johnny Tsunami.

Giuliani considers launching an impeachment podcast amid public hearings
Rudy Giuliani is considering re-entering the impeachment fray by launching a podcast to provide impeachment analysis of the public hearings in the House of Representatives scheduled for later this week.
Giuliani was overheard discussing the plans with an unidentified woman while at a crowded New York City restaurant, Sant Ambroeus, over lunch on Saturday. The conversation, which lasted more than an hour, touched on details including dates for recording and releasing the podcast, settling on a logo, and the process of uploading the podcast to iTunes and other podcast distributors.
Two people who overheard Giuliani's discussion reached out to CNN and provided a recording they decided to make of the conversation. They contacted CNN unprompted after reading a recent story about Giuliani and the President's ongoing relationship. The people asked not to be identified and provided the audio recording on the condition that it not be published.
"Many Americans want to hear directly from Rudy Giuliani," said Christianné Allen, a spokeswoman for Giuliani, who confirmed to CNN that he discussed the podcast idea at lunch on Saturday. "He is considering several options, in consultation with Jay Sekulow and the legal team, regarding the best way to move forward. As of now, they have not decided on the strategy but are getting very close."
In the conversation, Giuliani said he hoped to have four or five episodes "to analyze the impeachment in every aspect." Giuliani's intention seems to be to have four episodes finished before the start of the Senate trial.
Giuliani also mentioned two op-eds for major newspapers he was planning on publishing, the first of which would explain why Trump is "unimpeachable" and the second offering an explanation of Giuliani's defense of his client, the President.

Stop making a joke of Pete's last name like that. The mods already warned us not to do that. Even of you didn't mean it, it can come off as homophobic.
Also it is hilarious to me you fell for Gabbard's nonsense
She is not antiwar. Famb with all dude respect, you wildin with this analysis.

I’ll hold the ban then b/c that’s stupid AF.
Just because he’s gay doesn’t mean his funny last name is off limits.
sounds like mods are reaching on that one.

They are not reaching because real homophobic people and bigots have been doing the same thing. On right wing sites they make the same "booty" joke.I’ll hold the ban then b/c that’s stupid AF.

So I don't think they are reaching. Nor is such a low hanging fruit of a joke really worth it to take issue with them even if they were.

Mueller says he 'generally' agrees Trump was not always truthful in written answers
Trump's sworn written testimony:

-Also, Biden is still in the lead comfortably
-Gabbard's numbers on aggregate have not gotten a big boost from when Hillary fairly called her out
-Gabbard is not beating the brakes off Booker in the polls nor is she close to Kamala or Pete.
-Gabbard is also not anti-war. She is just playing one right now.

Civility Is Overrated
The gravest danger to American democracy isn’t an excess of vitriol—it’s the false promise of civility.
I wish someone would ask Biden during some of the town halls they hold across the country why he thinks it's wise to ignore our own history and the dangerous legacy of political civility that he runs on.
Civility gave us segregation and redlining; it gave us the 3/5 compromise; it gave us the third way Clinton approach to policy. Why is he convinced it will work this time?
I would love to see him put his foot in his mouth.

Gates testified in the Stone trial that he wasn't the only one who witnessed a conversation that contradicts Trump's written testimony. 2 Secret Service agents were there as well.

If Bloomberg is in this thing to try to head off a wealth tax or high marginal rates on the uber-wealthy, that would be a mistake.
Interesting piece in the NYT yesterday on billionaire discomfort with Warren (which is odd, because she hasn’t demonized the rich in personal terms the way Bernie does)
I don't understand why these billionaires are so afraid of her. She isn't going to be able to push through a wealth tax, nor in my opinion will she try very hard to.

Stephen Miller’s leaked emails reveal (as we all knew) he’s an EXPLICIT white Supremacist...and Trump’s US Policy is DIRECTLY shaped by it. Almost word for word. And they prove the cruelty is the point.

This is their defense? Yikes
You already lost if you have to include 'the hostage says he was not held captive' as a serious argument. When Trump said "I have a favor to ask though" immediately Zelensky told him Ukraine was preparing to buy more javelins, Trump knew that Zelensky was aware of the Giuliani's pressure campaign because he was acting at the direction of Trump. He didn't have to be more explicit than that in the call because Giuliani etc had already explicitly made their demands clear to Ukraine in private.
Giuliani's co-conspirator Lev Parnas now admits that he directly demanded a Biden probe from Ukraine in advance of the July call and told them that if they didn't comply, aid would be frozen and Mike Pence wouldn't show up at Zelensky's inauguration. Parnas' new lawyer said he did so at the direction of Giuliani, who acted at the direction of Trump, and both of Parnas' threats ended up happening. Ukrainian government officials were already concerned by at least May 2019 that the aid was potentially in jeopardy, and Giuliani was ramping up his pressure campaign at the time. Either way they ended up getting definitive confirmation that the aid was conditioned on complying with Trump/Rudy's investigation demands.
The WH released the hold on the aid shortly after learning of the whistleblower complaint, and just days after Zelensky committed to going on CNN to issue a public statement about Trump/Giuliani's demands. Zelensky didn't end up doing so after Reuters reported that the hold was released.

Mens rea. Can't be a major crime if you didn't intend to commit one.
In layman's terms, the president wasn't committing the crime he's accused of because he didn't know what he did was illegal, or rather, he didn't mean to do it at all. It's like the difference between murder and manslaughter.
