News Editor for The Root. I said what I said. Period.

That was a crazy two hours of testimony. The Republicans are completely unhinged and not even trying to hide the fact that they are going to stand by their man no matter what.

And they seem to forget that Donald Trump is the biggest pathological liar of all.

I think Cohen just confirmed that Trump lied in order to get a bank loan to try and make a bid for the Buffalo Bills.

Lord. Mark Meadows just trotted out Lynne Patton—a black member of the Trump administration—as proof that Donald Trump cannot possibly be racist.

Cohen is explaining how he helped to prevent negative stories about the president from coming out by buying the rights to them before they could be published.

It’s clear that Rep. Jordan’s role here is to continuously tear down Michael Cohen and attempt to discredit his testimony by making him look bad.

Rep. Cummings just had Cohen confirm that Donald Trump wrote a check from his personal checking account to repay Cohen for the hush money Cohen gave Stormy Daniels on Trump’s behalf.

Over the past year or so, I have done some real soul searching. I see now that my ambition and the intoxication of Trump power had much to do with the bad decisions I made,” Cohen said.

“The sad fact is that I never heard Mr. Trump say anything in private that led me to believe he loved our nation or wanted to make it better. In fact, he did the opposite,” Cohen said. 

Yes, Mr. Cohen. Yes, he is. 

Cohen just confirmed what we all have already known, but I guess has never been officially said on record—y’all little “president” is “individual No. 1" in all those legal documents from the Mueller investigation.

Cohen reintroduced himself to the House Oversight Committee as “Michael Dean Cohen.”

Cohen started out his testimony by asking for protection from “presidential threats.”

It’s kind of funny how the Republicans keep trying to get their digs in about this testimony. Now Jordan, a rep from Ohio, is pontificating on how this is all an attempt to make the president look bad.

I like how Cummings took control, as the chair should, and made everyone shut the fuck up as he made it clear—this testimony will be heard today. No matter what y’all try to do to stop it.

As soon as Elijah Cummings hit his gavel, the Republicans tried to stop the testimony from happening.

Let me tell you how I know this is about to be good: your little “president” was good and shook and already tweeting about it from all the way across the world.

Except that I definitely linked to lamar’s proposal, which has the numbers in it to back up what I said and what the other commenter is trying to explain to you.

This was beautiful. 

This is how stupid you are. I never once claimed “a wall” is racist. Please screenshot and highlight in red where I did. Pro Tip: You won’t be able to because it never happened.
