Let me see if I have this right: Trump doesn't believe the USA intelligence information, but he does believe a dictator and "takes him at his word". How messed up is that?

President Donald Trump says he takes North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at his word when he told him he had nothing to do with the treatment of deceased American Otto Warmer.....HUFF POST
If I was Otto Warmer parent, I would be devastated & totally disgusted with JA once again taking the word of a vicious dictator. Did Putin & Saudia Arabiia crown prince whisper in JA ear!!! UGH!

birdgal, yeah, I repeated your tag line to DH and he about fell out of his chair laughing! Cohen seemed like the least agenda-driven person in that hearing. I watched way too much. These idiot republicans. In a court of law the testimony of hit men is taken as true in order to bring down the Mafia chief. But someone who has previously lied under oath? Heavens, no! Cohen is going to prison. He is not going to get a reduction in his sentence. But why would I expect logic from them?

And Jared was over in Saudi Arabia meeting with the crown prince without even mentioning Kahashoggi while the JA was in Hanoi exchanging valentines with Kim. How warped is this?!!

lani , you're right that the Republicans in that hearing didn't even try to pretend they had any interest in the truth. And they continually lied themselves about things that were easily fact checked. Guess they've been taking lessons from a pro. Saying this was the first hearing of the committee, when it was not. Saying a convicted felon had never before testified before Congress, when clearly they have. And, once again they even tried to drag in the Clintons to be used as a weapon. And as for Congressman Meadows, I don't care if he has bi-racial family members, bringing in that black lady and "showing her off" as a Trump employee WAS racist. When he did that I was stunned, but I don't know why I was. I even turned to DH at the time and told him it reminded me of the JA once saying at a rally "look at my African American over there." Just disgusting, and that these people don't even realize how demeaning such gestures are shouts their racism even more so than the actual act itself. I was embarrassed for the lady, and Congresswoman Talib was right to call him out on it. She was wrong in using the vulgarity she once publicly did about the JA as that is not the way a member of Congress should behave. But she was absolutely right in calling out Meadows yesterday, and I'm sorry she offered him an apology. He didn't deserve one.

It shows just how desperate the Republicans are that Meadows and Jordan are calling for Cohen to be investigated for having committed perjury yesterday for two utterly ridiculous things (IMO).
1) He said he did not want a job in the WH, and they say he did and that the Southern District of New York had said that he did. What the heck difference would it make, and personally I think it is very believable that he wanted to be the personal counsel to the president as opposed to an actual WH position because that would be much more lucrative for him in the long run.
2) He said he did not defraud any banks although he admitted to making false statements on loan applications. But no bank lost any money on any of his loans, and he already pled guilty to making the false statements. That seems to be splitting hairs for absolutely no reason other than retaliation and obstruction by the Republicans.
I know that none of this will make any difference to the JA's deluded base of followers, but hopefully non-Kool Aid drinkers are paying attention, and I hope this all comes back to bite the Republicans BIG time. The JA is destroying the country, but these sycophants are aiding and abetting him simply for their own personal hopes of gain. So for them to criticize Cohen, who definitely deserves what he is getting, is far beyond just hypocritical.

I just hope that Democrats will proceed cautiously, and not go off half-cocked jumping on the impeachment wagon. Because that could end up hurting Democrats rather than hurting the JA and Republicans. I thought Elijah Cummings did an excellent job chairing the proceedings yesterday. The younger firebrands who just got elected would do well to listen and learn from seasoned veterans such as him.
