To the Democrats Marie, Not Elise, was yesterday's star [KT]
Ace sets the stage:
Schiff has made up New Rules -- unilaterally -- that the only Republicans permitted to ask questions are Devin Nunes and a staffer who I think is named Castor. A source says Castor is a good lawyer, but people are telling me he's coming off as a real blank on TV. And Schiff made up a rule saying that he would be one of the only two people to question "Masha" Yavonovich, the former Obama-holdover ambassador to Ukraine fired by Trump. . . When Nunes moved to yield his time to Ellie Stafanovic, Adam Schiff and his Ten Inch Neck started banging the gavel to shut her up.
Meanwhile:
Nunes questions why Yavonovich is even a witness -- she has absolutely no knowledge of these Impeachable Phone Calls we keep hearing about. The only reason she was called by Democrats is so that she can Appeal to Women with her Sad Stories about how Sad she was when Trump fired her.Sharyl Attkisson
One question I'd like to have seen asked: "If Ukraine's new president distrusts U.S. Ambassador-- rightly or wrongly-- should that person stay in the position? Or for the good of the US, should she be replaced with someone who can have a productive relationship?"Legal Insurrection has a nice piece on Elise Stefanik's part in the hearings, as well as some background on her district. William Jacobson mentions "stardom". There are several video clips included at the link. "I can watch these videos over and over. And probably will." Nunes made a good choice in choosing her to speak, I think. First a quote:
President Obama's own State Department was so concerned about potential conflicts of interest from Hunter Biden's role at Burisma that they raised it themselves while prepping this wonderful Ambassador nominee before her confirmation. And yet our Democratic colleagues and the Chairman of this Committee cry foul when we dare ask that same question that the Obama State Department was so concerned about.No wonder Schiff wanted to shut her up. Andrew Klavan: Nevertheless, she persisted. Jacobson, about her district:
For those of you who go way back with Legal Insurrection, NY-21 was a hot topic here in 2009 when Republican infighting and subterfuge handed the seat to Democrat Bill Owens in a Special Election defeat of conservative candidate Doug Hoffman. It was more important to state Republicans that a Tea Party insurgent lose than that Republicans hold the seat. Owens barely hung on to the seat in 2010 and 2012, but chose not to run for reelection in the 2014 cycle. Stefanik won the seat in 2014, at age 30. At the time, the youngest woman ever elected to Congress. Stefanik has won re-election pretty easily every since.At the hearing:
First, she took on Schiff. But because she's Republican, Schiff received media cheers not scorn for trying to shut her up. She took Schiff to the woodshed over his flip flop on having the so-called Whistleblower testify. . . She score a substantive home run by pointing out that the Obama administration was concerned about Hunter Biden's actions in Ukraine, so much so that she was prepped on the subject in advance of her Senate confirmation hearings. So why, she asked, is it wrong when Republicans to have the same concerns about Hunter Biden that the Obama administration had?And John Hayward pointed this out about part of the former ambassador's actual testimony:
Boy, it's a good thing giving false testimony to Congress isn't a crime when Democrats do it, or Yovanovitch could be in some really hot water here.Back to Ace and the Ambassadors as Superheroes theme. It was reported in The Hill that the vacuous Yovanovitch testimony had given the Democrats a new burst of momentum. Oh, and Trump engaging in witness intimidation, to make the witness cry.
There was witness intimidation today, but it was not done by President Trump. The only one who intimidated a witness was Adam Schiff. He's the one who brought up Trump's tweet to Maria Yovanavitch DURING HER testimony, pressuring & questioning her into making it a big deal.
Let's relax a little Steven Hayward with the week in pictures, Hearsay Edition. Hope you have a good weekend. Remember, this is the Thread before the Gardening Thread.

met when I did my stint with them. On the whole they were extremely
liberal, well credentialed, well traveled, did very little useful work
but were sure they were saving the world and they were Gods gift to the
American public. who they were often contemptuous of. They all wanted a job with the Federal govt after
finishing their "service" and the foreign service was considered the
best of all worlds. They will tell you how hard they worked and
suffered in their dangerous, but vital jobs but this is rarely the case.
Locals
were rarely impressed by volunteers, although they often found them amusing
and we always called Peace Corps the longest vacation you can never
leave because of the large amount of, um, extracurricular activities. At the end of service we went to a resume and job hunting seminar
where we were told how to frame our extended vacation to sound like it
was very important work. Heard a lot of those buzzwords yesterday from
Yovonovitch
I would not be the least bit surprised to find Yovonvicth did a couple years with Peace Corps before starting her illustrious career of public service

This whole process has been quite illuminating. For years, many of us have been warning about the dangers of the administrative state aka Deep State. We were routinely mocked by the "smart set" for being conspiracy theorists.
They've now moved to openly bragging that they really run things and our votes are not to be taken seriously. Over and over we hear from these geniuses that they were just trying to implement US foreign policy and not what Trump wanted done.
The dysfunction is now in the open for all who choose to see it.

I've related this before. Once I was staying at an old in which overlooks the Potomac, at Harper's Ferry.
Some of the rooms were in an external building. Walking up to the inn for dinner, I saw an assemblage of people in what can only be described as costumes. Mostly kaftans, brightly colored. One had a 'crown' fashioned from crepe paper and tinfoil.
They were youngish, in their 20's. Well, naturally, I stopped and asked what was going on. The guy I spoke to told me that they were doing State Department training.
M spontaneous response was, 'Heh, I suspected this had something to do with my tax dollars."
The guy cracked up, and immediately shared the comment with his compatriots. Ha, ha, ha.
THAT is my only contact with the State Department, clowns-in-training. Well, aside from that investigator...but that's another story.
I mean this is the agency of Hillary, and 'You've Got a Friend' Kerry

Despite its drawbacks, I actually enjoyed my time in the Peace Corps, had a lot of great adventures in remote third world country and, unlike most volunteers, managed to do some useful work, probably because I was older and actually had some work experience. Overall though, PC it is a huge waste of taxpayer money and make-work for more govt employees, just a useful foot in the door for permanent govt "service" Everything I heard about VISTA (AmeriCorps) is far worse and more blatantly politicized.

Tip of the Spear ... sure, for the DS Cartel ... they are the public front at least, for bribery by Burisma and bad banks, to get the US support. But the military is the spear, which when yielded by Obama, stands down and offers Russia Crimea.
A military guy on Tucker last night said a big problem was these Obama apparatchiks wanted to push Ukraine into NATO. He said that becomes a real threat to Russia, who (while weak, not dead) might not stand down, but might actually become more hostile. And Obama was fine with the US funding NATO on the EUs behalf.
I don't have any comprehensive view on the region, but the globalist grifters want to make the money, while the US goes deeper in debt being global policeman on their behalf. Trump wants these nation states to be allies, but to stand on their own. (our trade policies would support that, as we decouple from China)
This would apply to S Korea, Japan, Israel/Sauds/Jordan/Egypt ... we step back from the front lines, but retain superpower command and control, emphasis on everyone pulling their own weight, retaining their sovereignty. That means the grifter machine doesn't get to use our military as their private hit man ... as seems to have happened with Soros/Burisma and the Ukraine coup. but it is foggy to me ...

The_Donald uncovered a tweet Roger Stone did about her dad, way back, telling him to burn in hell. She apparently has a long, vindictive memory, and did an homage to that tweet (that no one but her remembers.) She could have made the exact same point without resorting to telling him to go to hell. That kind of language is supposedly what she and her fellow harpies on the View squawk about as destroying the public discourse. Way to take the low road, Meggie Mac.
I think her real prob is that people like Stone refuse to let her build an unopposed hagiography of her father, keep removing the halo they are trying to polish. She needs to let her dad exist warts and all, own up he made huge mistakes. She cannot let this be. It is gross.

Somebody should do a video tour of the US Ambassador's residence in Kiev - no wonder Yavonovich bitterly regretted losing "her house".
The shithole countries have small embassy staffs - it's not like trade is a concern, and the fact that a place is a shithole means minimal staffing. New diplomats are frequently assigned to shitholes, not just because no one wants to be there, but because they have a lot more responsibility than at a nicer embassy, precisely because the staffs are kept so small. It's good for training.

A recurring theme. Did some leeches attach themselves to the Tea Party? Is water wet? Are most politicians lying sacks of shit?
That's ALL the same question, yo!
I want to reflect for a second on Trump and the Tea Party. At one point, after the election of The Turd With Flappy Ears, the TP had the support of 31% of the voters, including me. Thas a pretty big 'special interest' group, and was bipartisan. The real kind, composed of voters.
So of course, the media HAD to slay us. And since we became moar anathema than ketchup on a hotdog to them, the TPers went underground. 'Public' support plummeted.
A looooong 8 years later, we re-emerged as Trump supporters. Like antibiotic resistant TB, we persevered. In 2012 the Surrender Caucus gave us Mitt the Surrender Shit, their last gasp. And we took the recommended pain pill, losing, and abided like The Dude.
And they are STILL trying to kill us all off.
And it STILL ain't working.

In fact, to say [as he did in the part I watched] that the legislature has encroached on executive power is a bit dubious on its face - an enormous problem is the exact opposite, Congress de facto ceding enormous power to the executive, in the form of the administrative state.
Judiciary has usurped in an unprecedented manner since Trump was inaugurated. Beginning with one of the most audacious outrages, over the travel EO.
It was the whole package - plaintiffs who could not possibly have standing [if national policy legally founded by Congress and executed by the president is to have any meaning]; outright, absurd defiance of clear law by a judge just making s**t up; and, making it much much much more important, in an area with zero judicial competence or authority - a president making a national security call based on intelligence recommendations, all clearly within the law and his constitutional authority.
Words to the Federalist society, given the context and realities, are at the lowest end of cheap.

This is the one that I don't get. Michelle Bachman once asked Tim Geithner (I think that was the guy) what his Constitutional authority was -- as in, which part of the Constitution gave him the authority to do whatever he was doing. He sat there all tongue-tied but I thought he missed an opening. Just go to the part of the Constitution where Congress makes laws, etc., you dummy.
I mean to me, this COULD HAVE BEEN like that scene in Die Hard where Hans Gruber says to Holly McClane, "What idiot put you in charge?" and she says "You did."

Government can never be made good. It can only be made less bad. And that ship sailed in 1913.

You are absolutely correct. This concerted effort by all three arms to do whatever is necessary, legal or not, to thwart an America First agenda by PT needs to be addressed. I agree w the ppl who bl that not punishing the liars in the Kavanaugh confirmation gave free reign to even more evil. DOJ failed us.

You wonder what those laws are even for. What is congressional testimony even for? Might as well let Congress read some Hustler letters and save the taxpayers some money.

Waxing kids' eyebrows, if they don't want it? Straight up child abuse. Probably even if they claim to want it, since they are too young to have full agency in the matter.

Linn - it all went pretty well this week. They are back home today. Their mother is po'd with me as I wouldn't take them for their regularly schedule eyebrow waxing appointment this week.
For heaven's sake, they're 6 and 11. They don't want it, their mom does. It's all the rage with the 'cool' moms I guess.

That is such bs. It doesn't take a whole lot of waxing or plucking before hair just doesn't grow back at all. This happened to a friend of mine who had very trendy, very thin eyebrows for several years. What *very* little she has left is now getting even thinner over time, and she'll soon have no eyebrows at all. Estheticians tell her she'll have to learn to draw them on.

I honestly think KellyAnne made a bad pick.

I don't know why Trump puts up with her. She's like someone who shows up at a party with a fat loudmouth who eats all the food, drains all the booze and sits around farting and demands to watch porn.
Maybe Trump uses her to illustrate that he doesn't get distracted by extraneous horseshit but I'd send her packing.
Posted by: Captain Hate at November 16, 2019 03:23 PM (y7DUB)
I think she has a lot of dirt in her past. That would explain why she was so reluctant to leave her hot zone. She knew how much Hunter was making, she cultivated her own relationship with a billionaire.....and she was set to make millions too!
Instead she is teaching some punks at Georgetown about safe spaces in hot zones....while still on the State Department payroll for doing nothing.

And this, right here, explains why the Cruise Ship Cons and the GOPe must be given the same treatment as Tories after the Revolution: Leave, Shut Up, or Die.
I prefer Option 3. The Founders were more generous to the Tories than this bunch deserves.

I didn't mind when my hair started to go grey. I'm 29 after all. And it started at the temples and mingled throughout and looked generally distinguished.
My eyebrows are producing individual white strands that stick out from a brown background. There's no oh his eyebrows are fading like his hair, it's all look how freaky that it he has eight white hairs in each eyebrow.
Harumph.
