If at first you don't succeed....

Prayer rugs!  Terror Alert Black Watch Plaid!

Try, try again.
And again.
And still again.
(the answer to the question is: to reassure NATO the U.S. is not pulling out of NATO anytime soon. Watch the donut, not the hole.  And yes, threatening the father-in-law is, again, witness intimidation.  Trump still doesn't understand what being POTUS means.) And again:
As Sen. Angus King put it:

“It’s very frustrating for me because my whole instinct is: Let’s find a way to get this solved. But so far anyway, his idea of negotiating is to say ‘here’s what I want, I’ll give you nothing,’” King remarked. “I could sit down with Mike Pence for an afternoon and we might come to some agreement. And then [Trump would] blow it up.”
And if you need an object lesson in non-denial denials:

 “This is absolutely ludicrous that we are giving any type of credence or credibility to a news outlet like BuzzFeed,” [Deputy Press Secretary Hogan] Gidley said. “They are responsible totally and completely for the release of a discredited, disproven false dossier.”

Gidley claimed one of the reporters admitted he could not corroborate the evidence used in the article, but Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer said the reporter said the reporter had relied on two trusted sources.

“But that’s not news, that’s something he sees and puts out there,” Gidley said. “It’s the same reason and rationale behind a dossier that has caused this entire fake witch hunt Russia investigation, and now it’s all been disproven and debunked at this point. This is the type of thing that we have to do with every day, we’re used to it. A report came out that 90 percent of the coverage against this president last year was negative, this is another in a long line of ridiculous charges without any corroboration or credibility whatsoever.”
So much winning!*


*And Cohen plead guilty based on evidence of perjury and fraud, not because Perry Mason forced him to break down and confess his guilt under harsh cross examination.  Cohen may be a confessed liar, but his lies were proven against him, not proven by his guilty plea.

  1. The Washington Examiner, I noticed yesterday that google had been bombed to try to create divisions or, at least, the belief that there was division in the Democratic House leadership, when I looked into it, it was a lie.

    My fantasy wish is for Pence to be impeached right before Trump and before a replacement for him can be imposed on us. I don't trust him any more than I do Trump though he's probably less prone to lying with the lavish disregard of fact checking- which Trump's supporters don't seem to mind one bit.

    They're getting desperate because this stunt is quickly going to remind many of Republicans needed dupes that they need the government to work, it takes a long time for them to learn anything but eventually they will.

    More difficult to teach people will be the lefties understanding that democracy can't survive in a country where Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and FOX can lead to the multiple disasters they are directly the cause of. The First Amendment is fatally flawed as currently understood, something that lefties are as unwilling to face as the Republican-fascists are climate change and Trump collusion.
