3 Rules for Democrat Dating
Rule 1: There must be some serious making out by the third date.
If I haven’t felt your tits by then, things are not about to last much longer. In fact, if you don’t get back on track by the fourth date, you’re done.
Rule 2: There must be orgasm by the fifth date.
No, ands, ifs, or buts. If I haven’t unloaded by this time, things are intolerably slow. There will be no sixth date to give you a second chance. If you haven’t delivered by now, you’re done.
Rule 3: There must be sex by the second month of dating.
"A 2020 start date would be consistent Xi with Jinping’s instruction in November 2012 for the PLA to be ready to attack Taiwan by 2020."
Just like Hitler

Mohib Hoque. A white supremacist, perhaps?
Soon will any Jew be safe in NYC?
Has everyone turned in their hand grenades?
"A call by the police last year asking gang members to turn in their grenades worked as well as expected."
"Muslim gang leaders have reportedly taken the lead in joining ISIS."
"And their interest in explosives isn’t purely about gang violence. The bombing attacks on a police station and tax office weren’t gang rivalries. Despite the denials by the authorities, they have all the classic hallmarks of terrorism."
North Korea took a diplomatic shot at President Trump on Monday while rejecting the idea of another meeting. After a Trump tweet suggested the two sides would again get together—"see you soon!" he wrote—a diplomat from North Korea said thanks, but no thanks. The North, he said, isn't interested in a meeting that results only in bragging points for Trump. "The US only seeks to earn time, pretending it has made progress in settling the issue of the Korean Peninsula,” said diplomat Kim Kye Gwan, per the AP. “As we have got nothing in return, we will no longer gift the US president with something he can boast of."
The response came after the two sides found some common ground in dissing Joe Biden, notes the Wall Street Journal. After the North likened Biden to a "rabid dog," Trump responded with a backhanded compliment. "Mr. Chairman, Joe Biden may be Sleepy and Very Slow, but he is not a 'rabid dog,'" Trump wrote. "He is actually somewhat better than that, but I am the only one who can get you where you have to be. You should act quickly, get the deal done. See you soon!" His reference to "the deal" is about the stalled nuclear talks between the two nations. (Read more President Trump stories.)
A CBS News investigation has uncovered a possible pay-for-play scheme involving the Republican National Committee and President Donald Trump's nominee for ambassador to the Bahamas. Emails obtained by CBS News show the nominee, San Diego billionaire Doug Manchester, was asked by the RNC to donate half a million dollars as his confirmation in the Senate hung in the balance, chief investigative correspondent Jim Axelrod reports.
When Hurricane Dorian ravaged the Bahamas in September, Manchester wanted to help. So the San Diego real estate developer, who prefers the nickname "Papa Doug," loaded up his private jet with supplies and headed for the hard-hit Caribbean country where he owned a home – and hoped to soon be serving as U.S. ambassador.
A Trump supporter, Manchester donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund. He was offered the Bahamas post the day after Mr. Trump was sworn in.
It seems like every story you read about Secretary of State Mike Pompeo always includes the sentence that he graduated “first in his class” from West Point. That is not a small achievement. But it is even more impressive in Pompeo’s case when you consider that he finished No. 1 even though he must have flunked all his courses on ethics and leadership. I guess he was really good in math.
I say that because Pompeo has just violated one of the cardinal rules of American military ethics and command: You look out for your soldiers, you don’t leave your wounded on the battlefield and you certainly don’t stand mute when you know a junior officer is being railroaded by a more senior commander, if not outright shot in her back.
The classes on ethics and leadership at West Point would have taught all of that. I can only assume Pompeo failed or skipped them all when you observe his cowardly, slimy behavior as the leader of the State Department. I would never, ever, ever want to be in a trench with that man. Attention all U.S. diplomats: Watch your own backs, because Pompeo won’t be.

An ABC News/Ipsos poll published Monday found that 51 percent of those surveyed think Trump should be impeached by House lawmakers, as well as convicted in a Senate trial. Six percent say that while Trump’s actions were wrong and that he should be impeached, he should not be ousted by the Senate.

Another 13 percent also deem the president’s push for foreign investigations of his rivals to be wrong, but think he should neither be impeached nor convicted by Congress. A quarter of respondents, 25 percent, say Trump did nothing wrong.

It’s been widely noted in testimonies by multiple House impeachment witnesses that Sondland interrupted the conversation between Bolton and the Ukrainians when he suggested that the Kyiv officials open investigations into Hunter Biden and the gas company he worked for if they wanted President Volodymyr Zelensky to land a White House meeting with Donald Trump.
Bolton immediately cut the get-together short, witnesses said, in an attempt to save what had until then been a normal meeting. But what’s been less clear—until now—is what happened moments later, when Sondland guided the Ukrainians into the White House’s Ward Room. Three individuals familiar with the conversation described what happened next.
Sondland continued to not just relay, but demanded ferociously, that the Ukrainians open the Biden investigations, saying it was the only chance for Washington and Kyiv to develop any further meaningful relationship, two individuals with knowledge of Sondland’s overtures said.
So Parrot rolls out of bed at 10:45 and immediately goes to work.
Wow, pay to play. That is new? Where doesn't it happen? It certainly happens in radio business and Hollywood
Maybe there is something there and maybe not a word was spoken or put on paper in which case what can you prove?
BTW Parrot, how did Maxine Waters husband get the ambassadorship back in the day?
If I were slightly smarter than Parrot and had an IQ of 3, I would be worried about how many Mohib Hoque's are out there, are their number growing, and are they spreading out from NYC.
Impeachment investigators are exploring whether President Trump lied in his written answers to Robert S. Mueller III during the Russia investigation, a lawyer for the House told a federal appeals court on Monday, raising the prospect of bringing an additional basis for a Senate trial over whether to remove Mr. Trump.
The statement — during a hearing in a case over the House’s request for secret grand-jury evidence gathered by Mr. Mueller — came shortly after Mr. Trump said on Twitter that he may provide written answers about the Ukraine affair to impeachment investigators.
--When Hurricane Dorian ravaged the Bahamas in September, Manchester wanted to help. So the San Diego real estate developer, who prefers the nickname "Papa Doug," loaded up his private jet with supplies and headed for the hard-hit Caribbean country where he owned a home – and hoped to soon be serving as U.S. ambassador.
A Trump supporter, Manchester donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund. He was offered the Bahamas post the day after Mr. Trump was sworn in. Manchester said Trump told him, "I should probably be the ambassador to the Bahamas and you should be president."
--The Ukrainian official who promised dirt to Rudy Giuliani said that he tied pressure for the firing of Marie Yovanovitch to the investigations sought by President Donald Trump.
Former Ukraine Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko said in an interview with the Ukraine news website Ukrainska Pravda that during a January 2019 meeting in New York City, he and Giuliani discussed the prospect of a joint U.S.-Ukraine inquiry into Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company that Trump’s personal attorney and his allies have sought to use as a political cudgel against Joe Biden.
During that discussion, Lutsenko told the publication, he and Giuliani “exchanged thoughts about the role of Marie Yovanovitch.”
--Most Americans are closely following the public impeachment hearings and believe the actions by President Trump that spawned them were wrong, a new poll has found.
In an ABC News/Ipsos poll released Monday, 70 percent of Americans said they believe Trump's actions tied to Ukraine were wrong. This comes after the first week of public hearings in the official impeachment inquiry, which is examining Trump's efforts to push Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son.
Of the 70 percent who say Trump's actions at the center of the inquiry were wrong, 51 percent say he should be impeached by the House of Representatives and removed from office by the Senate for them, while 13 percent believe his actions were wrong but don't support impeachment and removal, and another six percent believe they were wrong and support impeachment but not removal. Twenty-five percent of Americans believe Trump's actions weren't wrong.

More potential trouble for President Trump: The House is investigating whether he lied to Robert Mueller, which could provide more fodder in the impeachment inquiry, reports the New York Times. The revelation came Monday from the House general counsel. While in federal court in DC arguing for the release of information that informed the Mueller report, attorney Douglas Letter posed these questions: “Did the president lie? Was the president not truthful in his responses to the Mueller investigation?" The House, he added, "is trying to determine whether the current president should remain in office. This is unbelievably serious and it’s happening right now, very fast." Among other things, Letter cited last week's conviction of Roger Stone on charges of lying to Congress about the publication of hacked Democratic emails by WikiLeaks, notes the Washington Post.
In his written responses to Mueller, Trump said he could not recall talking to Stone about the subject in the run-up to the 2016 election. House Democrats are skeptical about that, and they want to see for themselves what witnesses such as Paul Manafort told the Mueller grand jury in regard to the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks. “There is evidence, very sadly, that the president might have provided untruthful answers,” said Letter, adding that the issue was of "immense" importance and "a key part of the impeachment inquiry." Letter also cited the conviction of ex-Trump attorney Michael Cohen. “We have at least two people who have already been convicted of lying to Congress," he said. "And what are they lying about? They’re lying about things that go directly to the Mueller report." (Also Monday, Trump said he would consider testifying in the impeachment inquiry.)

Donald Trump is being investigated by Democrats over whether he lied to special counsel Robert Mueller, a court has been told.
Having vowed he was prepared to testify under oath and in person with Mr Mueller during his two-year investigation into Russia’s alleged interference in the 2016 election and whether there was collusion with the Trump campaign, the president and his lawyers eventually agreed to answer a series of written questions.
When Mr Mueller testified in a seven-hour appearance on Capitol Hill in July, it was put to him by a Democratic congresswoman that the president’s answers “showed that he wasn’t always being truthful”. Mr Mueller, a former director of the FBI responded: “I would say generally.”
Now, it has emerged Democrats are examining the president’s written answers, apparently as part of their broader impeachment probe.
CNN said that at a hearing in Washington DC on Monday morning, the House general counsel Douglas Letter told the US court of appeals for the District of Columbia circuit, that Congress was now seeking access to grand jury material Mr Mueller collected in his investigation.
