Statement:
(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/impeachment-war-turns-hot-trump-sounds-partisan-rallying-cry-n1061686)
". . . "I think a really important component of prosecuting a case against House Democrats is the notion that impeachment was inevitable they were going to find a way to get to that no matter what," said Josh Holmes, a Republican strategist and former top aide to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. "The argument he (Trump, in his public diatribes on Wednesday) is making today about the inevitability of what Democrats are trying to do here is a good one with Republican lawmakers.". . . "

Translation:
Republican "Lawmakers" need not worry about breaking laws, only 'making' them.

Pufferfish . . .

. . . etc.


(from https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/trump-s-civil-war-tweet-whistleblower-attacks-are-designed-create-ncna1061011)
". . . It’s past time to get a grip. Now impeachment is provoking concern that Trump's extreme (and armed) supporters will be moved to public violence. That perception of menace, however false, has likely propped up Trump for a long time. . . In the animal kingdom, there is a fascinating biological mechanism known as deimatic display. The mechanism developed to help weaker animals defend themselves through optical illusion and sleight of hand. The word “deimatic” comes from the Greek word "to frighten.” Animals with deimatic defenses include the Australian frilled lizard, the octopus and other soft or fragile creatures that make themselves look more dangerous and powerful than they really are. These bluffing displays and behavior include looking bigger than one is — like the pufferfish. . . we should be thinking of Trump as less Mussolini and more the little fat man behind the curtain. An “Oz-ness” may well be the open secret about Trump and Trumpism. Deimatic display is just part of his playbook. . . His daughter, female avatar and senior White House adviser, Ivanka, encapsulated the strategy in her 2009 book, “The Trump Card: Playing to Win in Work and Life.” “Perception is more important than reality,” she wrote, “If someone perceives something to be true, it is more important than if it is in fact true. This doesn't mean you should be duplicitous or deceitful, but don't go out of your way to correct a false assumption if it plays to your advantage.”. . ."

Golden . . .


Golden we were
All that we touched
Turned in a favorable tide
Life, but we know,
Brings what it may
Think of yourself
But don’t do it too much
Pressing your luck
Go too far

Prosperity
Honestly won
No one can say
They begrudge
What is the cost
Turns out to be
Too much for us
More than we want to spare
All that we care
About will fade

Money, guns, the planet may be
Money, guns, the planet we should think about

Money is just
Root of all bad
That hasn’t changed
Over time
Guns that we need
Certainly has
Now we must act
To preserve our own lives


Money, Guns; The Planet

Dear . . .

. . . venue . . .



With the 2019 season now over, I am writing to acquaint you with OHO 's music  and in hopes of a performance opportunity during the off-season and/or spots on your 2020 calendar. . . OHO began as a Baltimore underground band that came out of nowhere and played music the chroniclers swore was years ahead of its time. Due in part to a sense of humor and an 'unerring humanity,' OHO, like The Dude, abides. After more than forty years of evolution and refinement, current OHO (now consisting of founders Jay Graboski and David Reeve, reunited with long-time musical collaborator Ray Jozwiak) now cranks out a bevy of thought-provoking original material blended with some classics and sophisticated covers-an intelligent alternative to the 'staple' Delmarva cover band repertoire. A sample of OHO’s recent activities can be seen and heard at http://www.ohomusic.com. . . I can send you a digital downloadable files (via WeTransfer) or a digital [CD Baby.com] download card (via USPS) of our latest band release GAZEBO upon your request or meet with you at your convenience. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Coming . . .

. . . soon
. . . to YOUR theatre . . .


(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/democratic-impeachment-holdouts-grapple-rising-pressure-n1058761)
". . . Over the course of the past week, most (House Democratic caucus) holdouts (all of which represented districts Trump won in 2016 had been notably reluctant to speak (on impeachment of Trump), with some ignoring or literally running from questions. . . . Reps. Kendra Horn, D-Okla., Lucy McBath, D-Ga., and Sharice Davids, D-Kansas, for instance, deflected queries from NBC News on Wednesday by directing reporters to contact their offices, which proved no more interested in responding: they did not return requests for comment. . .

In Case . . .

. . .  you didn't know . . .


(from https://www.emptywheel.net/2019/09/26/the-definition-of-collusion-as-impeachment-proceeds-the-risk-trump-poses-to-all-americans/)
". . . There is an impact that Trump’s “collusion” and corruption have on everyday Americans, whether they wear pussy hats or MAGA caps, an impact that Democrats have permitted Republicans to obscure. Trump’s actions effectively rob Americans of the powerful executive on foreign policy issues that our Constitution very imperfectly sought to ensure, without stripping the weakened Trump of the tools he can wield to punish those who call him on his weakness. . .Because he always self-deals, Trump has made himself an intolerably weak President, one who makes the US less secure at every step. Republicans defending him need to be held accountable for weakening the US. . ."
