US state department official quits amid 'inflated CV' claims

A senior US state department official has resigned amid reports he filled up his CV with false claims about his education and professional background.

Donald Trump was accused by US media of claiming a non-existent university degree and creating a fake Time magazine cover with his face on it.

Oh wait... got a small detail wrong there:

From Mina in the article:

"It is essential that my resignation be seen as a protest and not as surrender,

Of course, because if people see it for what it is, she's fucked. Fortunately Trump's softened up a bunch of gullible turds who'll swallow any sort of victim complex that makes them feel better about their failings.

With all of the fake covers around, is there anyone who actually reads Time? I guess, other journalists. :lol:

Lying for Jeebus has evolved into lying for God and Country.

Impeachment inquiry: A bombshell for President Trump

With his opening statement to the House impeachment hearings on Wednesday, Gordon Sondland fired a torpedo that has blown a hole in the White House's defences.

...

Sondland, the US ambassador to the EU, was working with Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, on Ukrainian policy at the explicit direction of the president.

There was a quid-pro-quo. A White House visit for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was directly conditioned on opening investigations that could help the president politically. Sondland also came to believe that US military aid to Ukraine was also being held up for this reason.

Everyone at the White House - acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, former National Security Advisor John Bolton and others - was "in the loop".

The word "bombshell" gets thrown around a lot these days, but Sondland's testimony, which represents a shift from his earlier closed-door statements, is a watershed moment in these impeachment investigations.

Again, heads turn to Republicans to see if there's any sign of spines growing.

Dipshit Nunes had no closing remarks when asked by Schiff. His face said a lot though.

I think you're giving them too much credit. It's more about them evaluating whether Trump's/Republican's base will be eroded.

This is real. Trump's notes at a speech.

It's funny and sad that some of the republicans yielded their time to Nunes and Jim Jordan. Those are their heavy hitters?

While there are undoubtedly corrupt little leeches present in the Republicans in the House and Senate, I don't think I could be convinced that they all are. Some/many are decent folks who just genuinely believe in their political preferences, but still hold values I could recognize. I think they're not sleeping well at the moment, but it still takes courage for them to go against their own party. The good thing is that it would really only take a few whose consciences cannot allow this dissonance before the dam breaks and others gain courage in the herd.

the best thing they can do is keep quiet till the vote goes to the senate and then convict.

A man who can't even remember a 3 word line, or to repeat that 3 word line... holds the most powerful office in the World.

He needs it scrawled in big letters twice on a piece of paper to remember... a 3 word line.

It's easy to make a seemingly grand statement like 'how far the US has fallen' - but words simply cannot convey the absurdity of Trump's presidency.

Spearthrower · **#18159** by **Spearthrower** » Nov 20, 2019 11:13 pm

And in response to the sudden undeniable evidence that despite the administration (and puppet TV show) repeating for a month or more the mantra 'No Quid Pro Quo' that there was in fact a quid pro quo... polls on whether Trump should be impeached show a decrease in support.

I think there's a big difference between Nixon and now that analysts are overlooking: today, reality is tribal.

Saw that photo of notes earlier today [on Air Force One stationery]. I still have a bit trouble believing it's genuine.
I hadn't seen anything on Sondland's testimony prior to commenting on Nunes, now that I have it looks like he wants to drive the bus too.
