TKC MUST READ!!! CONGRESSMAN CLEAVER KEEPS WATCH OF PREZ TRUMP IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY WHILST FIGHTING FOR CONSUMER DEBT PROTECTION!!!
This Saturday we share another glimpse of national political drama as seen from Kansas City along with important work to protect the public from debt collectors.
Here's the word from Kansas City's highest ranking elected official . . . Checkit:
Congressman Cleaver: "I am watching impeachment testimony with thoughtful deliberation that it deserves"
As I’m sure you are aware, this is a week, unfortunately, that will be written about in American history books for generations to come.
This week, the United States House of Representatives opened public hearings as we uphold the solemn responsibility of investigating whether the President of the United States abused the powers enumerated unto the him by the constitution, and whether or not those offenses rise to the level of impeachment.
The misconduct alleged—that the President bribed and extorted a foreign government into interfering in our presidential election—is of the utmost seriousness for any democracy, and I can assure you I am watching the testimony with the thoughtful deliberation that such a moment deserves.
I’m hopeful that, as a United States citizen with a say in this outcome, you will give these hearings the attention they deserve and will voice your opinion following the conclusion of testimony from all witnesses, many of which are nonpartisan career public servants.
While I know the impeachment hearings have been a focus of the media, the work of Congress on behalf of the American people has not stopped. I’m proud to let you know that a bill I introduced, the Stop Debt Collection Abuse Act of 2019, was passed unanimously out of the Financial Services Committee this week. This legislation would protect American consumers from predatory debt collection practices by closing federal loopholes and bolstering protections for consumers . . .

Bill Maher says Trump impeachment hearings could give voters 'investigation fatigue'
"Real Time" host Bill Maher wondered Friday night whether this week's televised Trump impeachment hearings could cause "investigation fatigue" to set in among the public. The House of Representatives held two open-door hearings into President Trump's conduct with Ukraine, with U.S. diplomat Bill Taylor and State Department official George Kent testifying Wednesday and former U.S.

Republicans Couldn't Attack Marie Yovanovitch and Couldn't Really Defend Trump Either
Podcast Episode Devin Nunes Is a Nincompoop Podcast Episode This Week in Impeachment: New Evidence Today's Impeach-O-Meter: There's Really No Reason Not to Impeach Trump How Republicans Tried to Manufacture Outrage During Friday's Impeachment Hearing On Friday, Republican defenders of President Donald Trump had an apparent plan to address the testimony of Marie Yovanovitch, the former ambassador to Ukraine, before the House Intelligence Committee in its impeachment inquiry.
Looking For Punchline
The comically obvious corruption missing from Trump's impeachment hearings
Public impeachment hearings in the House of Representatives ramped up Friday with the testimony of Marie L. Yovanovitch, the former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine. Her story was the most compelling yet, detailing her long and often-dangerous diplomatic career, as well as her bewilderment at being abruptly shoved out of office by President Trump.
Philosophy Of Push For Prez Trump Impeachment
With impeachment, America's epistemic crisis has arrived
Back in 2017, I wrote a piece speculating that the Mueller hearings might bring America's epistemic crisis to a head. That crisis involves Americans' growing inability, not just to cooperate, but even to learn and know the same things, to have a shared understanding of reality.

Mark Levin blasts 'absurd' media analysis of impeachment hearings: 'It's disgraceful ... They sound like the Russian media'
" Life, Liberty & Levin" host Mark Levin took aim at House Democrats and the media Friday in response to the televised impeachment inquiry testimony by former Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanavich. "I hope the American people know what you're witnessing is tyranny," Levin said on " Hannity."

Fox Business host Lisa Kennedy on Friday slammed for his tweeted attacks on former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine during her public testimony on Capitol Hill, calling the president a "big dumb baby." "Should the president be tweeting at her mid-hearing? No, it makes him look like a big dumb baby," Kennedy said on air.
Journalism, History & Gossip
7 reporters recount a historic week in impeachment
History was made this week as public hearings began in the Democrats' impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. It was difficult, but not impossible, to overlook this simple fact amid the blizzard of breaking news and onslaught of accusations, counter-claims and Twitter tirades. The House speaker accused the president of bribery.
You decide . . .
Voted down in the senate.
ReplyDeleteIf they ask for a secret ballot, be very afraid.
The testimony of trump's friends is starting to crumble. Absolutely no defending it.
DeleteAny possible way this guy wins in a reelection effort? Couldn't even win in Kansas City.
DeleteAs opposed to the second and third hand accounts we've had in this waste of time so far. Yesterday's all day therapy session was a real barn burner let me tell ya. :)
Delete"Mark Levin blasts 'absurd' media analysis of impeachment hearings: 'It's disgraceful ... They sound like the Russian media'"
ReplyDeleteThe Russian media support the talking yam.
Ah, Russia hysteria. :)
DeleteActually, Trump didn't win in KC or Johnson County and with the vote of women he and most of the republicans will be out in 2020. The blue wave will be the pink wave and put an end to this treachery.
ReplyDelete^^^^ Shut it biznitch. Trump reelected wins all of the states he needs. Popular vote and electoral.
DeleteStop reading so much Huff post.
Angela! Put down that crack pipe baby!! It'll ruin your lips!
DeleteFree Donald Trump!
ReplyDeleteThoughtful deliberation? This after you spent a week or two on a press junket talking about how all of the people who supported your political career were racist. Hmmm. Mr. Congressman is either on mental decline or already there. The people are not going to forget your bad behavior. Deflect to Trump who apparently will be sitting in the Oval Office until the expiration of his term because Democrats don’t seem to have the evidence they thought they had to remove him. Maybe Mr. Congressman should sit quietly and not participate in the destruction of somebody else’s political career, especially considering all of the destructive things he has said about his constituents.
ReplyDeleteAngela K wake up and understand not all black people are your friends. I wouldn't hire Cleaver that racist prick to watch over my dog taking a dump. Cleaver makes you blacks think he is all about looking out for you when he's only looking out for himself. And Cleaver being on a bill having to do with debt collecting is big time conflict of interest.
ReplyDelete"The president can have whom he desires doing diplomatic work for the country.”
ReplyDeleteThat says it all right there. A whole day wasted because someone lost their position. Ukraine president wanted her removed guess everyone wants to forget that part of her being removed. I'd have removed her too just for being the snooty bitch she appears to be.
"How did that make you feel?" This brave victim was asked.
DeleteThey had to ask her that, because she had absolutely nothing to contribute except her glowing feminine victimhood.
“Everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad. She started off in Somalia, how did that go? Then fast forward to Ukraine, where the new Ukrainian President spoke unfavorably about her in my second phone call with him. It is a U.S. President’s absolute right to appoint ambassadors.”
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with this tweet.
He got rid of a worthless woman..... good job!
And yet she didn't play the victim card. Weird. Especially since the talking yam insists he's the most abused president in history--including the four who were assassinated.
ReplyDeleteExcept that not only Afam Schiff, but the entire media establishment, made her out to be the most abused little girl in the world. Please try to pay attention.
DeleteAnd yet she's been an ambassador for 33 years under Reagan, Clinton, two Bushes, and Obama. Weird.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet Chimpy's fanboy has yet to make his contribution to the conversation. Is he out of bananas?
ReplyDeleteTrump has had 6 attempts from the dimwits to impeach him.... so far. I think this qualifies as most abused President evar. And there’s still five more years to go so.....
ReplyDeleteAnd yet she didn't play the victim card???? What bullshit. Her entire appearance was based on her supposed victimhood. Agreed, she's not playing with a full deck, but what cards she has are all victim cards.
ReplyDeleteOne of Barack Obama's first acts as President was to terminate all ambassadors appointed by George Bush. I know the Democrats will agree that he should have been impeached for that.
ReplyDelete9:23 she’s out now because she got comfortable doing nothing, this president and the people expect people to do their jobs. Now when creepy joe bribed the Ukraine into giving his son a job for doing nothing......
ReplyDeleteWhat say you???
Got anything?
Didn’t think so.
So that’s where cleaver went, ran off to hide in Washington after he totally embarrassed kc, figures, he’s a chickenshit.
ReplyDeleteYavanavich's opening statement, sounded exactly like what you would expect from a pissed off ex girlfriend who just got dumped.
ReplyDeleteObama fired EVERY SINGLE FUCKIN DIPLOMAT HIRED BY BUSH ON HIS FIRST DAY IN OFFICE.
The ex girlfriend that you dumped, would really like the law, maybe a Police officer, a judge, SOMEONE! to force you to keep taking her to dinner, buying her shit, giving her the remote control and supporting her while she sits home watching "The View", or maybe Charley's Angels.

But you are not, at this point, under any lawful legislation to pretend that you still, if you ever did, like this chick, or, that you really believe that 90lb chicks can take on Seal Team 6 and kick there asses with jujitsu.
(Hit on that link and look at that stupid fuckin picture.)
She was an ongoing, pain in the ass, that should have been fired in 2017.
https://spectator.org/did-you-know-this-about-marie-yovanovitch/
She got fired.
She got butthurt.
She got to whine about it on National TV.
Next up, The View.
9:02 comment hits a GRAND SLAM!
ReplyDelete"I am watching impeachment testimony with thoughtful deliberation that it deserves", stated Congressman Carwash.
The same "thoughtful deliberation" I've used for decades as a "Reverend" who promotes the targeted genocide of minority babies by groups like Planned Parenthood.
The same "thoughtful deliberation" that led me to support Hillary Clinton for President in 2008, over Barack Obama.
The same "thoughtful deliberation" that I used to violate a personally guaranteed legal loan contract and subsequent court order directing me to repay a taxpayer-funded Small Business Administration loan of over $1 million dollars.
The same "thoughtful deliberation" that led me to arrange political patronage jobs for my wife, daughter, and son.
The same "thoughtful deliberation" that I use when publicly calling for civility in politics, while equating those who oppose the MLK name change as KKK members and President Trump and Republicans as White Nationalists.
The same "thoughtful deliberation" that caused me to NOT disclose that I'd been diagnosed with early-onset dementia 10 years ago. The medicine has helped slow the progression, but anyone observing me can see how my speech, memory, and reasoning have significantly declined. I owe a huge debt to local media for covering up my deficits.
^^^^^^^. This. 100%!
Delete9:23 and that makes it all good and okay?
ReplyDeleteBesides you are wrong. Weird
Yovanovich was in the U.S. Foreign Service and wasn't made an ambassador till 11/2004 long after Reagan was out of office.
Yovanovich screwed herself out of a job when she got to attacking officials in Ukrainian making enemies and resulting in Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asking her to be removed. There was some he said she said crap which had to do with the Clintons and we all know that the Clintons need looked at much harder than they have in the past. Yovanovitch was an Obama administration and to me that's good enough reason to get rid of her if her line of thinking was more in line with Obama's
The old douchebag got fired. Who cares?
ReplyDeleteGo on down the road.
Cleaver is the one who needs to be removed from office and pronto.
ReplyDelete9:56: So she did all the stuff you accuse her of and she "got comfortable doing nothing," according to 9:40. Could you wing nuts at least get your story straight?
ReplyDeleteSo are you more mad because this latest bogus controversy is already dying, or because Trump is virtually guaranteed reelection because you wasted your time trying to overturn the last one?
DeleteListen to Bill Barr's speech a couple of days ago, concerning the separation of powers and the erosion of Executive power at the hands of Legislative and Judicial overreach. This does NOT bode well, for the scofflaws, traitors and and seditious, Progressive poltroons who over the last 3 years, have betrayed this country and it's people.
ReplyDeleteThe 24/7 News Cycle will consign this unworthy, preening, overweening kleptocrat to her rightful place (Probably in a really nice, 500K home, paid for by taxpayers, right next door to another great American hero, Lois Lerner.) in obscurity. Her 15 minutes is up. With any luck, Cleaver will move to D.C. for good, where he belongs with all of his bureaucratic butt buddies and rent a room from her.
Next week, at the latest the week after, the IG Report, a penultimate note, the precursor to the coda, that will be Durham's Indictments of many of the previous administration's criminals, will be out.
The worm turns motherfuckers.
Here is Barr's Speech
ReplyDeletehttps://www.c-span.org/video/?466450-1/attorney-general-barr-federalist-society-convention
She was not fired by Obama. So, therefore, Obama didn't fire all of the ambassadors.
ReplyDeleteThe Great White Hope is a hopeless disgrace.
You're watching the end of the GOP, the last gasp of the greedy old, white men.
At this point you just sound like a mumbling schizophrenic.
DeleteByron, don’t worry, no matter what happens, there will be a government for you to mooch from. You won’t have to work or contribute to society.
DeleteAnd by the way, the worthless Yovanovich was not an ambassador when Obama took office so not only are a worthless parasitic ass, you are stupid and ill informed.
I'm not watching the impeachment hearings with the thoughtful deliberation they deserve.
ReplyDeleteYou are if you're not watching them. If you are streaming something interesting on Netflix, you are watching the impeachment hearings with the thoughtful deliberation they deserve.
DeleteObama fired every single Bush appointee
ReplyDeletehttps://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/trump-fired-political-appointees-so-did-obama-97206
Byron you fucking idiot she wasn't in an Ambassador position when Obama was elected. GD you are so fucking stupid and an uninformed Nazi.
ReplyDeleteObama hurried and reappointed her because she was sympathetic to the democratic party. He also wanted someone to control and cover up Hillary's and Bidens escapades in the Ukraine if at all possible before the election.
ReplyDeleteByron you are wrong once again you fucking racist asshole. What no sheep to fuck this morning?
bLIEron, why do you even bother with lying around here? You are proven wrong every single time you open your asshole. How is it everybody else can find the truth but you? Jesus Christ you’re a dumb SOB.
ReplyDeleteGone in thirty seconds says......
ReplyDeleteSeven hours of testimony from the dimwits results in nothing.
Thirty seconds is all it took for the republicans to destroy their conspiracies.
Stewart: "I would now feel compelled to ask you, Madam Ambassador, as you sit here before us, very simply and directly, do you have any information regarding the president of the United States accepting any bribes?"
Yovanovitch: "No."
Stewart: "Do you have any information regarding any criminal activity that the president of the United States has been involved with at all?"
Yovanovitch: "No."
^^The voices in Byron's head are what he thinks is the truth. The main reason I hear he was kicked out of the service and is on disability because he is totally batshit crazy.
ReplyDelete11:06 +100
ReplyDelete10:20: It would be nice if it were dying, and it would be even nicer if there were nothing to it. Alas, it's not. I'm afraid we elected a crook. And we knew what we were getting, didn't we?
ReplyDeleteIf there was anything to it, we'd probably know it by now. The witnesses are not even witnesses to anything, Schiff is as obsessed as Captain Ahab, and by the ratings people are bored by the whole farce.
DeleteWhen have we not elected a crook, by the way?
^^^Good point, but most of the time they're at least a bit subtle about their sleaze.
ReplyDeleteShe also admitted that Ukraine policy got stronger under Trump than under his predecessor, Captain Surrender.
ReplyDeleteThe longer this goes on, the worse it is for the Dems.
Trump 2020
ReplyDeleteI love trump and this impeachment stuff is great because it's redpilling normies how batshit insane libs are. Trump will neve be removed and honestly I don't think the house has the votes for impeachment so they'll just drag this out for as long as they can. I fucking love every second of this. Keep it up democrats!
ReplyDeleteCleaver fighting for debt protection is laughable considering he was a deadbeat on his own loan at considerable taxpayer expense.
ReplyDelete^^^ the bank had to take him to court several times just to garnish his check, he’s still being garnished even though he has 7 million dollars that’s invested. He could pay it off but he’s gonna try and make new rules so he can get out of it, by the way, isn’t this a conflict???
ReplyDeleteImpeach this fuckwad right now!
Where did Carwash Cleaver get $7 million? He was too broke to pay back his carwash loan. He must have skimmed a lot of Sunday collection plates to get that money.
Delete^^Cleaver is a speaking conflict on all of our interests.
ReplyDelete12:38: And that is different from Trump's screwing his contractors and declaring bankruptcy four times... how?
ReplyDeleteGoing nowhere fast: world peace, swiss chiefs Superbowl, dim dem impeachment efforts and schemes since pre-November 2016... what's it all about, Alphie?
ReplyDeleteThe ending also foregone conclusion: House of Congress temporarily impeaches and the Senate permanently unimpeaches, they even feel an need bother with a trial/vote (for it's 1, 2, 3 and 4 more he's at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!)
The darkest of black days in US history behind us nod that empty chair and suit 'lying' in it 2008-2016, America now humming under President Trump in exceptional ways never seen before... party of the donkey can't buck that.
That all people lie childhood to adult to death, a given - that the loony liberal left has made it an art form, politicians having taken it obscene levels, undeniable.
The party of no integrity, no character & saying 'Demn no' to making America great again... they have no shame. Instead, an 'no can do' obstructionism to what is best for America their embrace, what is best their political career.
As we'll all be dead and gone anyway in 12 short years: say no to green new deals and yes to coal and farts - eat a cow, have a soft drink large as you like, drive a car, and keep America great - RE-ELECT PRESIDENT TRUMP 2020!
^^^Write back when you sober up.
ReplyDelete+ 1000 at 1:16
ReplyDeleteThe Ukraine ambassador was an ugly, ineffective lesbian and she got fired. Now she is bitter. Trump sent more effective hardware, including the Javelin missile, than Obama did. SHE FAILED.
ReplyDeleteImpeach the lying Cleaver!
ReplyDeleteIf Roger Stone has to go to prison, for essentially passing notes in class, then Obama, Lynch, Clinton, Comey, Brennan, Klapper etc etc etc should be shot at dawn.
ReplyDeleteAngela K., get your bitch ass back in the kitchen and make me a sammich.
ReplyDelete1:58: Wow. And yet she had a job with the State Dept. for more than 30 years and you're posting inanities on a local blog from your rusty trailer in Frogville. Weird.
ReplyDeleteOh Chimpy. You gave yourself away again! Now quit pretending to talk like a human and stick to the Matlock joke. Lol:)
DeleteDemoc'rat's are pretty much burnt toast at this point.
ReplyDeleteLMAO
New fun fact about Hearsay-gate: the Democrats actually focus grouped 'bribery' as an alternative to 'quid pro quo', much as a marketing agency would, in order to find a sexier accusation.
ReplyDeleteYou know, not that they're politicizing this process or anything.
^^^ well, desperate times call for desperate measures.
ReplyDeleteThis is the only hope they have of beating Trump. Sad.
ReplyDeleteCleaver is such a loser, he's pissed because Trump is uncovering corruption and Cleaver is one of them. Corrupt and also a thief. Trump rained on their parade and Cleaver just like the other thugs can't handle the fact that they have been busted!
Granted Rev Rep E. Cleaver is a second rate blogger he remains class conscience like Mary Sanchez and Lynn Horsley. Meaning, they know what the political bosses want to hear and they stay clear of the "fail sons" of the elites like Hunter Biden, which is not new news anyway. When a working class stiff gets thrown in jail for a pay day loan magistrate court system, E. Cleaver makes sure not to mention the city the scam takes place in. For God And Profit, you go E.C.!
ReplyDelete4:04 and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was elected to office by idiots your point being? Just because she works for the state dept as do app 80k others why is she so special? She isn't and that's the whole deal moron.
ReplyDelete^^^And yet I'll be she knows basic grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. Weird.
ReplyDelete7:10 awww chimpy, shouldn’t you be asleep with your monkey kin folk by now!
ReplyDeleteOn July 26 Sonland was in Kiev. Trump calls Sonland on the phone at the dinner table. Sonland said after the call said, "Trump cares more about Biden than Ukraine"?
ReplyDeleteSteve Caster during the hearing asked Bill Taylor if the "irregular channel is is not that outlandish? Taylor responds, "not as outlandish as it could be"?
ReplyDeleteMulvani, Rick Perry and Guilianni won't talk under order of the White House.
ReplyDeleteBen Shapiro claims Trump is to incompetent to bribe and extort the Ukrainian President? Shapiro gets chased off campus by Trump supporters this week. Another time at Donald Trump Jr book tour Trump supporters raised hell because their was no question and answer.
ReplyDeleteLet's be super smart and secretly send pallets of money to Iran so they can build a bigger nuclear bomb to destroy the U.S. and Israel. That's some high-IQ stuff from the Obama administration. Let's also create more unisex bathroomms. Another brilliant move. Bravo! Bravo! (Applause)
ReplyDelete^^^And yet I'll be she knows basic grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. Weird.
ReplyDelete11/16/19, 7:10 PM
Don't you mean "... I'll bet ..."?
Weirdo
Trump's magic rallies continue to fail.
ReplyDeleteLast week Kentucky got a Democratic governor.
Today, despite 3 Trump rallies over the last 10 days, Louisiana's GOP gubernatorial candidate lost his race.
The people are tied of Trump's lying bullshit. It's tired. Hoaxes, witch hunts, MAGA, making deals, building a wall, ending American carnage - it's all been bullshit slogans to hide the reality of his failing policies & agenda, and increasing number of convicted associates going to jail. With his corruption, there is no draining the swamp. Instead, we do get to see Trump circling the drain.
Well, again, your supportive self talk is interesting, but it looks like Hearsay-gate is another dry hump squirt.
DeleteYou have no candidate who has a prayer.
The talking yam had an unscheduled medical exam. Be prepared for an insanity plea, a 25th Amendment removal, and President Pence. You heard it here.
ReplyDelete
