It's a old Scots phrase I once used rather often here, both to honor the ancestors and to describe Trump...and his ilk.

However, since its use (and misuse) is becoming irritatingly common lately, I think I will drop it in favor of less shopworn descriptions that carry the same connotation.

Imitation isn't always the most sincere form of flattery, after all.



Hahhahaaaaaa....are you really saying people use the word "ilk" because of you?




So, you can prove this....yes?

What it shows is the right-wing Trump bootlicking desperation of your ilk.

Do you think biden him self or his son should or should not be investigated for corruption?





Just with what out there? Take trump out, take everyone on the right and left out...and just given what biden and his son has done.....should they be investigated?

Nope... You recall how Jeff Sessions had to Recuse himself from the Russia Investigation. That's what Schiff should be forced to do.

That aside, Schiff with his lies has tainted the process now. His speech the other day was just the start.

You watch, Pelosi will remove him as leader of the Committee. They are neck deep in this and cannot afford for his lies to cause this to explode.

Republicans will pound Schiff on his lies.

It's corrupt to hire a crackhead with no qualifications for the job other than being the son of a politician in order to get that politician to use their office to get a prosecutor fired and effectively end an investigation into corrupt business practices.

You know, exactly what happened.

O.K., let play, take corruption out of the equation....


Biden is VP....his son is on a board.....that gets tons of money, and it happens to be out of ukraine?



Even after joe biden says, you won't get money unless you fire "this guy."....


Now, saying that, yes there were other countries that were mad at "this guy" but "this guy" only got fired when joe biden said, you won't get paid? Why did it take joe biden to get "this guy" fired?



Tell us, should we investigate?

The sequence of some of the texts is interesting. Curious whether or not any Trump supporters can explain this away?

A FEW DAYS AFTER THE POLITICO ARTICLE COMES OUT RE UKRAINIAN DEFENSE AID:
9/1/19, 12:08:57 PM] Bill Taylor: Are we now saying that security assistance and WH meeting are conditioned on investigations?

[9/1/19, 12:42:29 PM] Gordon Sondland: Call me

8 DAYS LATER: [9/9/19, 12:47:11 AM] Bill Taylor: As I said on the phone, I think it’s crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign.

[9/9/19, 5:19:35 AM] Gordon Sondland: Bill, I believe you are incorrect about President Trump’s intentions. The President has been crystal clear no quid pro quo’s of any kind. The President is trying to evaluate whether Ukraine is truly going to adopt the transparency and reforms that President Zelensky promised during his campaign I suggest we stop the back and forth by text If you still have concerns I recommend you give Lisa Kenna or S a call to discuss them directly. Thanks.

The first time Taylor asks Sondland cuts him off. Taylor and Sondland have that phone call. And Taylor's take - after speaking with it to Sondland - is that Trump's withholding security assistance for political advantage. At which point, Sondland comes back with this formal statement for a record. And says, Bill ... STOP TEXTING.

That strikes me as somewhat incriminating.
