70% of us think what Trump did in Ukraine was wrong. 30% of us have no moral standard. [ABC]


The US has given up on the rule of law in the West Bank. [NPR]


They do things smaller in small towns. The Mayor of Muncie, Indiana was arrested for corruption for accepting a $5,000 bribe. The President of the US can't get arrested and he tried to bribe a country. [CNN]

NBC News is following five counties in this Presidential election. I live in one (Milwaukee) and my brother and sister live in another (Maricopa). We're all white as can be so NBC isn't really interested in us. They're looking at black voters in Milwaukee and Latinx voters in Maricopa. It's still strange to have the rest of the country notice or care what we're up to. I mean other than our terrible sheriffs. [NBC]


Politics Corner has a full dance card this week: We have three days of open Impeachment hearings and live blogs for each.

Tuesday morning we'll hear from Jennifer Williams and Alexander Vindman. Assuming Schiff keeps things on track, Kurt Volker and Tim Morrison will testify after lunch.

Gordon Sondland will be on the hot seat on Wednesday morning followed by Laura Cooper and David Hale.

Thursday morning Fiona Hill will be taking the questions. US Embassy in Ukraine Official David Holmes will also Testify.


But wait, there's more! Politics Corner will post early on Wednesday to live blog Tyler Perry's Democratic Presidential Debate at Tyler Perry's Studios. The Democrats have wisely scaled back the...what's that? They what?! Let's start over. The Democrats removed only ONE candidate since the last Debate and one candidate removed himself. So there will be ten candidates shouting over each other this time. At least the two NEW candidates can't qualify until at least December.

There will be regular Politics Corner threads every night except Wednesday when the live blog will replace the regular Politics Corner.
