From what I'm gathering, Mulvaney's testimony against Trump has been very damning. With any luck Trump's evil house of cards will continue to come crashing down. I have outfits to prepare and a buffet to put together. There is hope in at least the 85006 if not elsewhere that the Trump regime is nearing it's end. Rob

Did Mulvaney testify somewhere?

Did Mulvaney testify somewhere?Yes. And his confession is all over youtube to thy he delight of untold numbers of Americans who have long since had their fill.

I ordered a tagine from Morocco as I'm planning a Moroccan chicken dish for closest friends a family. I believe it's just a matter of time until Trump is evil and unfortunate history. At least I'll get closure via the neighborhood block party once he's kicked to the curb. Rob

I sort of doubt they will even take a vote on impeachment unless they can sway a few Senate Republicans, but the clouds are certainly darkening.

Where did he testify? In front of which House Committee or court?

I am so sick of these people and their ancient scandals on all sides (the people involved in these particular scandals I mean, I'm not talking Dem candidates - well except Biden). None of them are likable, none of them are moral, I don't care about the goshdarn election from 2016 any more, nor what particular constellation of corruption rules the Ukraine.

Where did he testify? In front of which House Committee or court?I believe it was at a White House press conference where he was asked a question by a reporter and fessed up. It's all about how long will it take to get him out of office so the celebrations nationwide can start. Rob

I think bae questions the use of the term 'testimony' when 'idle banter' is the more appropriate choice. It's like both of your insistence on using the word 'murder' when it suits your purpose although it's factually incorrect.

I know that a White House news conference in the White House press room isn't "testimony" in this context.

When important issues of which costume to wear and what piece of cookware to use are on the line, it is crucial to be correct.

(I do hope that Mulvaney is brought before the proper committee to actually testify, it'd be nice to add another member to this mischief of rats that are running down the anchor lines.)

given that my background is Austrian I am going to incorporate some Austria into my life....it's a better deal.

That being said, it's very Austrian to respect your station in life and dress accordingly as I've already posted. Rob

Those trite side issues your referring to, are the legal proceedings you NEED if you are to remove him from office. (unless your planning on buying a gun and trying to deal with him, yourself):doh:

oh right! “Of Course.”

I find most all of your posts any more to be pure mental masturbation. You are pontificating for the sole purpose of stroking your own ego. In recent years your posts run exclusively to bad cops, bad Trump, America bad.

But carry on, you be you. I would never suggest that your words be censored, so do not go down that route, but
I would suggest that, in order to appear less like a caricature, you post at least occasionally about things in your life like the rest of us. Your hit list of topics really gets old.

I do what little I can do as an activist for future generations......if I'm going to be using the earth's resources, I feel obligated to do something. Maybe this makes me appear as one-dimensional as a cardboard cut out, but at least I'm doing something. Can you say that? Rob

honey, your interests could be so much better served. So much! Using smarter arguments and effective communication would further your desired outcome.

I have a politically conservative friend who also thinks her bleating into the void of Facebook somehow enlightens people and changes lives.

As it is, the arguments presented by that sort of "activism" will be pretty much ignored by those who need to be influenced.

It's sad, I agree with Rob on so many points, but until he learns to sharpen his arguments he'll be a detriment to his own causes.

One thing I find odd is how Rob is concerned with how Austria sees things and what his parents think. Not a criticism but I only have known one other person that still talks about what her parents taught her and she is 69. My heritage is from 4 different European countries. I loved and respected my parents but they taught us to think for ourselves and I taught my kids the same.

Austria works for me better than the US does.....I want to make sure I'm not overly Americanized - somebody that my Austrian relatives might find repulsive. That's why I care about this.

Though I will say this works two ways. What I have learned from Austria as it applies to dating/relationships, either straight or gay. A simple question to ponder- would this person you are dating, would they have hidden a Jew or somehow else saved Jewish lives during WW2? This nugget of wisdom comes from my Austrian side and not my years in the US. Rob

Interesting Rob I would like to think I would have hide a Jewish person. When my son married a Polish woman and I am part polish I thought it was awesome. My Jewish boss said her grandma only hired polish woman as maids to punish them. I read history and some Poles stole their homes and and some saved them.

Historically, I believe most Austrians have failed that test.

But if nobody except you knows what your “station in life” is supposed to be, or what sort of dress is appropriate for that station, what are you “respecting” except your own personal tastes? If there are no commonly accepted standards, aren’t you just sending signals out into the ether that only you can interpret?

dude, dont bother with the logic.

Rob’s real station in life is of enormous privilege: white male college educated, according to the victim assessment industry anyway.

Gosh, Rob, your sticking to "dressing according to your station in life" really puzzles me when I think about your political/socio-economic attitudes. I am a DAR, and many of. my ancestors were upper middle class. So, that means, in my example in a prior post, I should be doomed to Ann Taylor and LL Bean for the rest of my life. (I actually DO wear Ann Taylor). But I don't feel I can't wear jeans, plaid, Dockers, vintage band t-shirts, mink stoles, Carharts, Goodwill, Versace, kilts representing my husband's clan, clam-diggers, saris, leisure suits, etc. etc. That's American democracy in action.

Every year on May 5th I dress over my station in life at least part of the day - May 5th of course being the liberation anniversary of Mauthausen - a concentration camp outside of Linz - being liberated. Nothing Austrian compels me to do so - it just seems very much right to do so. I guess my point is it's not 100% Iron Clad. Rob

The US Third Army did the liberating. Hopefully the surviving occupants were not too disgusted by the nasty, unforgivable American presence. No doubt the local Austrians dressed for the occasion, having discarded any inconvenient uniforms they may have had in their closets.

Some of the more recent inmates (being in better physical condition) made a US flag out of sheets, red felt from Nazi banners, and somewhere they found blue cloth - and made a passable US flag. Now THAT was an America to be proud of right there! It's hard for me now to believe that America ever existed. Rob
