that guy in AZ Wrote:Today, Robert O'Brien (our SIXTH National Security adviser) defended the administration. Speaking at the Atlantic Council think tank, Robert O’Brien argued that America would be a banana republic if the administration had not retaliated against Lt. Cols. Alexander and Yevgeny Vindman. “We’re not a country where a bunch of lieutenant colonels can get together and decide what the policy is of the United States,” O’Brien argued. “We are not a banana republic.” What a crock of shit. However, he DID speak one truth. We ARE a banana republic, and Trump's meddling in the Roger Stone case is further proof of that. https://www.rawstory.com/2020/02/administration-claims-they-had-to-fire-the-vindman-brothers-or-america-would-be-a-banana-republic/?utm_source=push_notifications Yes, I've said so a long time ago; the banana tree will hit us right in the head, but that does not matter; brains are optional anyway.

Schmidt Wrote: It is so depressing but predictable. The sociopathic, narcissistic president now "can do whatever he wants". He will go after everyone using the Barr Justice Department. He wants vengeance. There are no adults in the room to rein in this monster. The Senate Republicans cower is his presence. He owns the Supreme Court. He owns Mitch McConnell. He doesn't own Nancy Pelosi, but she better watch her backside. Schmidt: Trump's treatment of the Vindmans and Sondland mimics his behavior for his entire life. In the 1990's, Richard Branson had a one-on-one lunch with Trump. For the entire two hour lunch, all Trump talked about was how he was going to screw the 5 people who refused to help him after his bankruptcies. Branson’s account is congruent with a television interview Trump gave to PBS host Charlie Rose in 1992, in which Trump proclaimed that he “loves getting even with people” who have been “disloyal” to him: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/richard-branson-trump-revenge/

Trump’s campaign to exact vengeance against government officials who opposed his illegal machinations in the Ukraine affair kicked into high gear with the White House’s decision to pull the nomination of the Department of Defense’s acting Chief Financial Officer and Comptroller, Elaine McCusker. A Freedom of Information Act examination of McCusker’s emails revealed that she had committed the cardinal sin of pushing back against the Trump team’s efforts to illegally withhold the military aid allocated by Congress to Ukraine, only to find herself thwarted by Trump’s political appointee at the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) named Michael Duffy. “Based on guidance I have received and in light of the Administration’s plan to review assistance to Ukraine, including the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative, please hold off on any additional DoD obligations of these funds, pending direction from that process,” Duffy, OMB’s Associate Director for National Security Programs, wrote in an email to three senior defense department officials. Duffy added: “Given the sensitive nature of the request, I appreciate your keeping that information closely held to those who need to know to execute direction.” Duffy is one of four witnesses the Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) wanted to testify in the Senate impeachment trial. Others are: Mulvaney, former National Security Adviser John Bolton, Senior Adviser to the acting White House chief of staff Robert Blair, and a senior Mulvaney adviser. All four officials refused to agree to depositions by House impeachment investigators. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2019/12/official-hold-aid-ukraine-trump-zelensky-call/
