Michael Cohen testifies on Capitol Hill (over)
- Thread starter Taki
- Start date
America *is* better than the GOP, Trump and his cohorts. They're a minority. It's not even really debatable.
Given his life experience, if Elijah Cummings believes the US is better than this, I ain't gonna contradict him.
I never had qualms with the guy, just your basic dirty lawyer.
let's not get carried away
I want to correct myself I confused the Chaimarn with Rep Lewis.
Let us celebrate UBI from a capitalist that is built on VAT and cutting Welfare over Bernie. It's not exactly shocking.
Lol that young guy walking up to Cummings to shake his hand. I would have had to do that too.
So fucking stupid "boo, Jeff Bozo, fake WaPo, anyways, check out what they wrote..."
Generally, people on the left will not ever cite [strike]Mother Jones or[/strike] Infowars even if it's something that is straight factual.
edit: thought MJ was something else, doh.

That was powerful and compelling from front to back. There's going to be more than a few bits and pieces of this testimony that will be studied and scrutinized YEARS from now, and I get to tell my grandchildren I watched the whole thing live with fucking Twitch chat going the whole time
The film might go there.
'But I like Kenya!!!'
Reminder for these that are losing it over the whole of Cummings' speech. This is back when things were normal.
Yep. Trump lost the popular vote by millions and that was countless scandals ago. The right is a numerical minority.
I have never seen anything like that in my life. THAT was the most wild moment of this presidency to date hands down, and Trump wasn't even on the continent.
At least there's some hope...
Ill do my part.
Who would have ever thought that the "Says who?" guy from a CNN interview back in 2016 would lead us to this moment three years later?
I literally only caught the last 5 minutes of Cummings' speech.
Fuck, I need a highlight of the hearing.
Fuck, I need a highlight of the hearing.
This lawyer to the President is a totally untrustworthy guy who commits financial crimes all the time and has shady dealings with "foreign entities"...and was deputy financial chairman of the RNC. Those people were so out of their depthts.
Hah, yeah. He looked like he waved his hand away basically being like "ah don't worry about that shit, you good"
This isn't a shonen manga, come on
Three years in prison is still nothing for all the damage he has caused over the years.
Most GOPers should not effectively dare people to show they are racists.
Cohen is still a piece of shit person that worked for 10 years for himself and Trump's gain. There's no reason to think he wouldn't have done this for another 10 years if he hadn't been caught and thrown under the bus. His attitude here is not what Cohen presented to the world for his whole life, what you're seeing here is a man completely broken and trying to scrape together anything to redeem himself in the eyes of his family that he still cares very much about. He's not redeemed because he did the bare minimum of telling the truth about a man that we all know is corrupt as fuck. He cleared an extremely low bar today, don't fucking redeem him for it.
Not surprised in the least. He literally said "I have a black niece" and "I don't see color."
I really don't know. He should choose his friends more wisely.
But I'm not going to tell a black man that was born in the 50s that.
But the Republicans will use tweets as proof it's not true.
