More than 500 law professors say Trump committed ‘impeachable conduct’

My kind of girl, that one.

During a White House roundtable touting the administration’s red tape reductions for small business, President Trump lamented low water pressure in sinks, showers, and toilets, saying it’s an issue the Environmental Protection Agency is examining. “We have a situation where we’re looking very strongly at sinks and showers, and other elements of bathrooms,” he said. “They take a shower and water comes dripping out... very quietly dripping out. People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times as opposed to once. They end up using more water.” He said the EPA was looking at the issue “very strongly” and was considering “opening up the standard” in areas where there was a “tremendous amounts of water.” “It’s called rain,” he said.

Liar—as you always are.

Sanders is now estimated to have a net worth of $2.5 million, Forbes reported. His net worth has increased thanks to earnings from three best-selling books. He has made at least $1.7 million from those books. This does not qualify him for the top 1 percent, however, Slate pointed out. You must have a net worth greater than $10 million to be in the top 1 percent.

Various sources put his wealth over $2 million. What do you have it at and what's your source(s)?

Does it bother you that she’s become a multimillionaire as a ‘servant of the people’?

To GOP hypocrites: I never want to hear about Hillary Clinton’s emails again

If there were a global competition for insincerity, President Trump would have won the equivalent of an Oscar, a gold medal, a Ballon d’Or and a Vince Lombardi Trophy combined. You simply could not be more two-faced; it is not humanly possible. His picture belongs in the dictionary under the very word “hypocrisy.”

Trump, recall, spent much of 2016 leading chants of “Lock her up!” because Hillary Clinton made the mistake of employing a private server for some of her official emails as secretary of state. Trump still routinely refers to the former first lady and secretary of state as “Crooked Hillary” as if she had actually committed a crime. Never mind that the Justice Department decided not to prosecute and that a lengthy State Department investigation, completed during the Trump administration, found “no persuasive evidence of systemic, deliberate mishandling of classified information.”

And yet, while castigating Clinton for supposedly mishandling classified information, Trump has been engaging in
far more egregious examples of the very same sin.

He began his presidency, in February 2017, by reviewing classified documents and having a highly sensitive discussion about North Korea with the Japanese prime minister not in a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) but in front of fellow diners on a packed terrace at Mar-a-Lago.

In May 2017, he revealed top-secret intelligence to the Russian foreign minister and Russian ambassador during a meeting in the Oval Office, thereby potentially blowing a source of information about the Islamic State. In 2018, he reportedly discussed with wealthy donors at a Manhattan fundraiser the classified details of a battle between U.S. forces and Russian mercenaries in Syria.

In October of this year, Trump revealed details about the raid on Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi that, as NBC News noted, “were either highly classified or tactically sensitive, and their disclosure by the president made intelligence and military officials cringe.” And, according to a White House whistleblower, Trump overruled the opposition of security officials to grant top-secret security clearances to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump.

But all these security breaches pale by comparison with Trump’s promiscuous use of a cellphone to conduct top-secret conversations. My Post colleagues Paul Sonne, Josh Dawsey, Ellen Nakashima and Greg Miller report that “Trump has routinely communicated with his personal lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, and other individuals speaking on cellphones vulnerable to monitoring by Russian and other foreign intelligence services.”

This shocking security breach became clear from the cellphone records obtained by the House Intelligence Committee during its impeachment investigation. There are numerous calls between Giuliani and a blocked number listed as “-1” that is widely suspected to belong to Individual 1, i.e., the president of the United States. We also know, of course, that Ambassador Gordon Sondland talked with Trump on an unsecure cellphone from the middle of a restaurant in Kyiv.

I'd like to see a list of her actual achievements, over a lifetime of seat-polishing, posturing, and gesticulation

She can't even keep the **** off the streets in district.

Yeah, we all know that Paul Ryan
