Right on cue, here comes the faux outrage.

 Now comes the first lady (who from all indication, might have entered the country illegally) to declare that she is outraged because an expert witness in the impeachment proceedings made mention of her son, Baron.

Of course, as is to be expected, the conservative faux outrage machine has jumped on the bandwagon as well. "How dare they talk about the president's minor child like this? Children should be off limits. These people have no heart or soul."   

I need a break!

Keep in mind that this is the same Melania trump who supported her husband's racist birther claim against a man who had to had two minor children at the time that this crap was going on. There wasn't a lot of sympathy for the Obama children when Mr. trump was on his racist birther lie tour of the country.

And speaking of children, is Melania aware of all the children who have died while in the custody of ICE because of policies that her husband implemented? Is she aware of the fact that her husband's administration caged children? Rhetorical question. Of course she is. And we are supposed to care about a passing mention of her son during a hearing in Washington? I don't think so.

Melania needs to get her s**t  together and start checking her own husband before she can lecture the rest of us on civility.  And she needs to think about her own past and some of the choices that she made before she points her finger at others. '

What do you think will upset Baron more? Seeing these pictures one day while he is out hanging with his buds? Or watching old reruns of a hearing in Washington and hearing a small reference made to him by one of the witnesses who was making a legal point about the Constitution?

If you choose example one, move to the head of the class. If you choose example two, the right- wing faux outrage machine just might have gotten to you.

    All the people in the Trump family (if you can call it that) seem to be very thin skinned and carry a sense of entitlement that reminds me of British royalty hundreds of years ago. They appear to think that they are special people and are some how above the rest of us. Someone needs to tell them that they are just a bunch of ordinary grifters.

    Yep, right on cue. Her "be best" machine is out there all scuddy-duddy over this Barron thingy. It came at a good time - #ErraticTrump's retrograde movement from the NATO Summit because he has still ZERO days without being a national disgrace.

    I will say that Melania is still entitled to be concerned about her kid’s welfare, whatever her husband may have done. And making jokes that include her son in them does feel a little like bad taste. There is a general sort of taboo on political commentary about politicians’ non-adult children that is a healthy thing.

    But that’s about as far as I am willing to go along with the Republican outrage machine. They are trying to milk this as much as possible by claiming that the woman actually made fun of Barron. No. This is a lie. Barron may have been mentioned in that joke, but he was not the butt of the joke; that would be Trump Senior.

    This latest episode reminds me of the similar controversy a few years back, when Melissa Harris-Perry was forced to make a teary, on-air apology for allegedly having mocked Romney’s black grandson. The wingnuts were apoplectic: How could you go after that poor little boy, you big meanies?

    Except no one had. The joke was that Romney’s family photos looked a lot like the diversity of the Republican Party: one lone chocolate drop in a huge sea of vanilla.

    But who was being made fun of in that joke? Obviously, it was the Republican Party, with its multitudes of racists, not Romney’s black grandson.

    But of course, Republicans decided to try to dunk on Democrats by pretending they didn’t understand how jokes work. They like to accuse Democrats of wallowing in “victimhood mentality,” but no one does melodramatic martyrdom better than Republicans.

  6. As long as she supports Fergus publicly, and all of the tens of thousands of children he has done irreparable harm to, she can suck it right the fuck up.
    Perhaps if she didn't want her child to suffer questionable publicity, she could have had him with a more fundamentally decent man.
    I don't envy her the position she finds herself in, but she and Baron don't have any problems, really, other than being legally attached to a preposterous scumbag who treats her like a sexual accessory.

  11. So maybe magat Baron isn't drumpf's fruit of his loins.....

    And then came his, uh, odd choice of syntax when speaking about Barron, as in, the biological son that he and Melania have spent the past 13 years raising together: “She’s got a son, together, that’s a beautiful young man, and she feels very, very strongly about it.”

    Out of the 100's of thousands of illegal immigrants who have surged across the border, a couple of very sick children who had been dragged across the desert by their parents or the criminals they sold them to subsequently died after being taken in to US custody.

    This is not the fault of any policies implemented by President Trump, who has sought to stop these illegal crossings, but of the adults who forced them to make this journey and of the leftist politicians who have encouraged people to risk life and limb to get to the Land of Free Stuff so that they could more votes.

  15. Several of these kids died of the flu and drumpf refuses to let them get flu shots. He will have an epidemic on his hands and blame everyone but the guilty party, himself. Just as he always does.

    These people coming into America are not illegals and their coming to America breaks no laws. They are, or were, allowed to seek asylum and enter anywhere they could and then turn themselves over to authorities for asylum hearings. drumpf refused to let them have hearings and now he refuses to allow them into America. They get caught they get sent back immediately against all treaties America signed against this.

    You are so far outside reality you need to be watered twice a week. Your whole format that these people take jobs away from Americans is total bullshit, as well. You aren't American. You are a Russia bot.

    Yeah, it’s pretty shameful that the Hill saw fit to publish Solomon, giving his articles an air of authority they did not deserve. The Hill are a mostly reputable news source, but he is just a PR mouthpiece for Trump, not a real journalist. Publishing Solomon is like publishing “reportage” from Devin Nunes or Roger Stone.

    Solomon now works for the lie factory, Fox News, which is about what you’d expect.

  24. Open-and-shut case, Field. (you're in the right profession) Prof. Karlan was saying diddly about Trump's son, just playing on the name when she said he could NAME his son Baron but he couldn't MAKE anyone a baron. This is an example of a very common use of verbal wit to make one's point. If Trump had a famous horse named Baron she might have cited him.

    Republicans know that.

I mean, some of the hostility certainly isn't, but some is -- it is a result of Republicans demanding that our leaders behave like assholes toward the rest of the world.

    A big part of Trumpism is ginning up xenophobia and tarring anyone who believes in any degree of international cooperation on collective problems as either weak and unwilling to stand up for American interests, or as part of some sort of Globalist Conspiracy to screw over their own countrymen for the financial benefit of some shadowy, secret organization (of Jews, probably).

    This is Trump's ethnonationalist ideology in a nutshell. Everyone outside America is bad. Brown people within America are bad. These folks are the cause of all the nation's problems. White Americans are all blameless victims.

    Wednesday's "expert testimony" from some law profs in front of the House Judiciary Committee can be summed up like this:

    Prof. Noah Feldman: "Orange man bad!"
    Prof. Michael Gerhardt: "Orange man bad!"
    Prof. Pamela Karlan: "Orange man bad! And my womb is barren. As in Barron Trump. Ha ha. Get it? But serious you guys, orange man bad!"
    Prof. Jonathan Turley: "Orange man maybe bad, but not impeachable."
    Prof. Pamela Karlan: "I would like to say 'orange man bad' again."

    This is their best case? A bunch of professors who didn't actually witness anything? One of the reasons why they don't get laughed out of public life is because of the compliant, supine media. With nothing to keep them in shape, the Democrats have gotten all fat and flabby, and they really do think no one can see their shoddy merchandise for what it is. And then they get indignant when the shoddiness of their merchandise gets pointed out.

    I think the Republicans on the committee did a good job exposing these "witnesses", especially Karlan, as pretty much being Democratic activists, and not the Olympianly detached and neutral legal experts that the Democrats were attempting to pass them off as.

    This leads me to wonder how these impeachment proceedings would go if they took place during the time of Nixon's impeachment, the mid 70s. There would be no internet, no CNN, no C-SPAN, and there would only be the WaPo, the NY Times, and the 3 "alphabet" TV networks (ABC, NBC, CBS).

    All the Democrats would have to do is bar all TV cameras and limit coverage to only allow newspaper reporters, who could spin this story any way they wished.

    My guess is that they would present the profs as neutral experts, just like the Democrats would like. Republican challenges to this narrative would simply be ignored. All the big newspapers were liberal, even back then, except for the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal. But the Democratic narrative would be pushed out to millions of Americans via TV news every night.

    I think the main game-changer here was the advent of C-SPAN. I think Americans need to know how their government that they pay taxes for functions, and C-SPAN provides that service well.

    C-SPAN is a national treasure.

    Jobs and wealth aren't finite in that way. It isn't a simple zero-sum game, where someone else winning automatically means you are losing. The economics of labor and wages isn't that simple.

    And there is no shortage of jobs or oversupply of labor. We are currently at full employment. Native-born Americans aren't struggling to find work because of "too many Mexicans." If you aren't doing well economically, you might need to look elsewhere for an explanation.

  60. From Steve Benen:

    "Donald Trump has now been in office for 34 full months -- February 2017 through November 2019 -- and in that time, the economy has created 6.56 million jobs. In the 34 months preceding Trump's presidency -- April 2014 to January 2017 -- the economy created 7.71 million jobs.

    As regular readers know, some have asked what would happen if we looked at the same numbers, but assigned the job totals from January 2017 to Trump, even though Obama was president for most of the month. On balance, I think that paints a misleading picture, but it doesn't change the underlying dynamic: if we applied jobs from January 2017 to Trump and compared the last 35 months to the previous 35 months, job totals still slowed from 7.88 million to 6.81 million.

    The White House, meanwhile, believes we should actually start the clock for Trump at November 2016 -- the month of the Republican's election -- and apply the jobs created during the final months of the Obama era to the current Republican president. But that still doesn't help: if we compare the last 37 months to the previous 37 months, job totals slowed from 8.23 million to 7.19 million.

    Trump continues to tell the world that he's overseeing the strongest domestic job growth in American history, which is plainly false. What's more, the White House has not yet offered an explanation for why job growth has slowed since Trump took office."

    “The conversation about corruption in Ukraine was based on compelling evidence of criminal conduct by then VP Biden, in 2016, that has not been resolved and until it is will be a major obstacle ... to the US assisting Ukraine with its anti-corruption reforms,” Giuliani claimed, despite the fact that no such evidence has emerged.

    In short, Giuliani tweeted the quid pro quo.

    The American people will learn that Biden & other Obama administration officials, contributed to the increased level of corruption in Ukraine between 2014 to 2016.

    Ye gods, the only thing greater than your hypocrisy and dishonesty is your derangement.

    this is the same Melania trump who supported her husband's racist birther claim against a man who had to had two minor children

    Nobody ever mentioned those children when talking about the birth certificate.  We're talking about people in government going after minor children, remember?  So if it's illegitimate to talk about disqualifications for a pol just because they have minor children, you can't talk about Trump, period.

    speaking of children, is Melania aware of all the children who have died while in the custody of ICE because of policies that her husband implemented?

    Are you aware that those children were already dying when ICE got them?  Hey, I've got a sure-fire way to make sure that NOT ONE ILLEGAL ALIEN CHILD will die in ICE custody at the Mexican border:  build a wall that keeps them all on the Mexico side!

    Is she aware of the fact that her husband's administration caged children?

    Your Obamessiah started THAT phenomenon, hypocrite.  But he can do no wrong according to you.

    What do you think will upset Baron more? Seeing these pictures one day while he is out hanging with his buds?

    The worst human rights abusers in Central America were trained at School for the Americas in Georgia. They are the worst of the worst. Right wing america's gifts to the world.

    True, Mike. And remember the Contra Affair in which Ronnie Reagan sold weapons to Iran to get the money to finance the Contras in Nickaragua. The Contras pretty much destroyed the country while pretending to hunt for Communists. When confronted later, Ronnie said he didn't know anything about it.

  151. Raygun was senile and couldn't remember. Ollie North was a convicted felon and CIA director William Casey conveniently died before congress got any testimony from him.

    Raygun's crew sold weapons to our sworn enemies in Iran, which was an act of treason and should have been prosecuted as such.

  152. Bruce Cockburn took a trip to Central America in the early eighties and wrote this song and others on his 1984 "Stealing Fire" album about what he saw. The last lyric: "If I had a rocket launcher, some son of a bitch would die."

    Yes, wasn't that convenient for the commander in chief? As I recall, Casey went fishing and disappeared from his boat. Did they ever find his body? Or maybe he's hiding in Argentina?

  154. Casey allegedly died of a brain tumor in 1987 and is supposedly buried in New York State. My best guess is the alleged brain tumor was FMJ and self inflicted with help from undercover agents.

    US officials knew nearly 2 decades ago afghanistan was an unwinnable war and kept silent about it.

  156. Here's a good idea, make election day a paid holiday to encourage voting.

  157. Better yet, ban wingnuts from voting at all.

    Yeah, ban "wingnuts" from voting.  Make them use bullets instead of ballots.

    See how that works out.  OBTW, they live where your food is grown, and you won't get any.  Let's see how THAT works out for you too!

    Don't be so sure of that. Lots of food is grown in Washington, Oregon, and California - not exactly a wing-nut dominated area.

    Lots of food is grown in Washington, Oregon, and California - not exactly a wing-nut dominated area.

    The cities dominating Washington, Oregon and California are the Redmond-Tacoma corridor, Portland and SF/Sacramento to Los Angeles.  Those are urban, and don't grow anything but lefturds and welfare babies.  The counties where FOOD is grown are chock-full of those you call "wingnuts".

    Those states produce little of their own food.  Most of the corn and wheat comes from a belt stretching from the Dakotas down to Texas and eastward to roughly mid-Pennsylvania.  That belt supplies essentially ALL the bread and everything fed by corn including the beef, chicken, pork and even catfish.  Practically everyone engaged in growing food is someone you'd call a "wingnut".

    I hope to see them rise up against you and your orcish pets.  You wouldn't last a week.

    Do you want me to tell you where the fuel that supplies all your electricity and gasoline comes from, and who produces it for you?
