I'm interested to see a no-deal WTO rules Brexit because the fear of it looks greatly exaggerated to me. But if I'm wrong then it's no skin off my nose.

They have been discussing this for a while now since it became apparent that a hard Brexit was more than a possibility. I think Britain will be locked out of WTO for 6 or 7 years. Some of the more dire prediction have global GDP implications. Hard to see it though.

Excellent piece on the electoral college and how Trump's vile racist agenda is a strategy to win it again. Trump’s Racist Electoral Chess BoardHis racism is turning off lots of people, but mostly those who live in blue states that he lost in 2016. JULY 26, 2019 5:25 AM |

The number of Democratic members of the House of Representatives who support impeachment today rose to 114, up from 83 prior to Me Mueller testifying last week. A majority of the House Judiciary Committee where impeachment begins supports it.

I said they are Dems. That is still where impeachment starts isn't it Shammy, in the House Judiciary?
While the dotard believes he can stop impeachment in the courts, his loyal puppy Barr hasn't explained how it works to him yet. #MoscowMitch told Donald he would take care of it for him and that's all that matters, and Barr wouldn't dare tell him anything different. Anyway, Nancy's grand plan is going along terrific. The Judiciary is holding their pre impeachment inquiry, getting the legal stuff sorted, sending out subpoenas etc. All tentative Dems on break will hold town halls and talk to constituents before returning in 6 weeks to report where their districts stand. Nancy as House leader has her majority and particularly the 40 new members to protect. September is when it all advances quickly

#MoscowMitch got a run at the Democratic debate today and got big applause.
It has been trending for 4 days now and he hates it. It is a winner for Democrats. Moscow Mitch undermines Impeachment of Trump and his Russia conspiracy is not going to be a good headline for next year.

A very helpful update from Nancy on the progress of the various House committees efforts to bring back rule of law to the gigantic Trump swamp. Pelosi Statement on Progress of House InvestigationsAUGUST 2, 2019 Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi released this statement on the progress of the House’s investigations: “When we take the oath of office, we solemnly vow ‘to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.’ The Mueller report states unequivocally that Russia interfered in the 2016 election ‘in sweeping and systematic fashion.’ And the Intelligence Community informs us that Russia is working 24/7 to undermine our elections. This assault on our elections is a serious national security matter which the President chooses to ignore. “The Mueller report and his testimony last week confirmed that the President’s campaign welcomed Russian interference in the election, and laid out ten instances of the President’s obstruction of justice. The President’s more recent attempts to prevent us from finding the facts is further evidence of obstruction of justice. “To protect our democracy and our Constitution, Democrats in the Congress continue to legislate, investigate and litigate. Litigation:
Investigation:
Legislation:
“The assault on our elections and our Constitution is a grave national security issue. We owe it to our Founders to sustain our system of checks and balances and our democracy. We owe it to our heroic men and women in uniform who risk their lives for freedom to defend our democracy at home. We owe it to our children to ensure that no present or future president can dishonor the oath of office without being held accountable. “In America, no one is above the law. The President will be held accountable.” |

Democrats Plan Vote to Formalize Procedures for Impeachment InvestigationSept. 8, 2019, 6:01 p.m. ET WASHINGTON — The House Judiciary Committee plans to vote this week to formalize procedures for a growing impeachment inquiry, clarifying its investigative authorities and granting President Trump new due process, a draft resolution shows. The Judiciary Committee took similar steps in the 1970s and 1990s when it conducted impeachment inquiries into Presidents Richard M. Nixon and Bill Clinton. Now, as then, Democrats believe the resolution, a copy of which was reviewed by The New York Times, will allow the panel to speed up its work and potentially elicit more information than it otherwise could about instances of possible obstruction of justice and abuses of power by Mr. Trump. The development carries significant symbolic weight, as well. Though the committee has already informed federal courts and the public that it is in the midst of a full-scale impeachment inquiry, the three-page resolution will be the first time lawmakers have recorded a vote to that effect. Committee leaders hope the move will send a signal to Congress and the White House that their investigation is not only proceeding but intensifying, even as the broader Democratic Party caucus remains divided over the merits of ultimately voting to impeach Mr. Trump. Based on the committee’s investigative plans, the new procedures could be put to the test quickly in the coming weeks. The committee is preparing to rapidly broaden the substance of the inquiry this fall beyond the investigation into any role by Trump associates in Russia’s meddling in the 2016 presidential election. On the agenda for new scrutiny are Mr. Trump’s role in illegal hush payments to women who said they had affairs with him, reports that he dangled pardons to immigration officials and whether his hotels and resorts have illegally profited from government spending. If adopted, the new procedures would allow the committee’s chairman, Representative Jerrold Nadler of New York, to designate hearings of either the full Judiciary Committee or its subcommittees to be a part of the inquiry and subject to special rules. Though it sounds inconsequential, including the smaller, nimbler subcommittees in the inquiry would allow Democrats to speed up their work or steer less significant witnesses to the smaller panels. Another provision says that after lawmakers themselves have exhausted time for questioning, committee staff members would be allowed to question a witness “for an additional hour equally divided between the majority and minority.” Democrats hope the arrangement will allow for more detailed, uninterrupted questioning. The resolution also sets out standards that say information collected by the committee from witnesses or grand jury information shared by the courts should be kept private unless Mr. Nadler chooses otherwise. And, for the first time, Mr. Trump and his legal team would be afforded specific due process by the committee, allowing them to regularly offer input on the findings of the investigation. “The president’s counsel may respond in writing to information and testimony presented to the committee in open session,” the resolution says, adding that Mr. Trump’s lawyers may also be invited to review and respond to information kept secret if the chairman chooses. One of the aides involved in drafting the resolution said that the president’s lawyers could yet play a larger, in-person role, as well, if they requested it. There may be other benefits to taking a procedural vote, too. Though the resolution does not mention matters of decorum, Democrats believe the vote to adopt it will allow lawmakers to get around normal House rules that limit their ability to accuse the president of crime, the aide said. The Judiciary Committee plans to finalize the resolution on Monday, the aides said, and could vote as soon as Wednesday to adopt it. Details of the procedures were first reported on Friday by Politico after Judiciary Committee aides briefed lawmakers on the planned vote, but the draft text has not previously been reported. Lawmakers from the president’s party have oscillated between criticizing the mechanics of Democrats’ investigation and dismissing their’ impeachment efforts as a pathetic and futile hunt for nonexistent evidence to oust Mr. Trump. But without the votes to overpower the Democrats, they have little recourse but to vocally object. “If they really want to do this, they have to bring impeachment to the floor,” the top Republican on the committee, Representative Doug Collins of Georgia, said on Fox News on Sunday. “This is simply a show. It is a travesty. And, frankly, they should be ashamed.” The Judiciary Committee has been edging toward a full-scale impeachment inquiry since the spring, when Democrats began calling witnesses and demanding evidence related to a range of potential presidential misconduct. But only in July, after testimony from Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, did the committee formally declare to a judge that what had begun as a regular congressional oversight investigation was now primarily focused on whether to recommend articles of impeachment. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/08/us/politics/democrats-judiciary-procedures-impeachment-trump.html |

They'd better call up Oprah fast because they are looking beyond ridiculous. The best non-Trump candidate if you want to bet might be a republican challenger - it certainly won't be Bernie et al. |

You must have been disappointed when Trump fixed that Hurricane/Climate Change threat PT ... what was the final body count in the USA ... zero? ... just turned into some localised flooding didn't it? ... never mind, maybe the Trump Deranged will have something to blame him for, next time.
Hope you didn't pop a blood vessel like Old Mate Creepy Joe did!

The catastrophic storm has left at least 44 people dead in the Bahamas and at least two people dead in the US. As many as 70,000 people have been left homeless due to the storm in the Bahamas, and roughly 800 people were stranded on an island off the coast of North Carolina, cut off by flooding.
