Fair enough.

The awkwardness, I think, comes solely from the fact that the race-baiter-in-chief can in some cases still claim the law is on his side. But law is an instrument, and when the instrument serves injustice, it loses its authority.

McConnell’s new posture toward Moscow

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...45d_story.html

“Moscow Mitch” was red hot.

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, on the Senate floor Monday, denounced critics (including me) who say his recent blocking of efforts to fortify defenses against another Russian attack on U.S. elections are aiding and abetting Vladimir Putin.

“For decades, I have used my Senate seat to stand up to Russia,” the Kentucky Republican protested.

Unfortunately for McConnell, two days later came a reminder that he has taken a rather different posture toward Russia of late. Indeed, it appears, he has been key to helping Russian oligarchs with ties to Putin skirt U.S. sanctions and invest in an aluminum mill in McConnell’s home state of Kentucky.

Moscow Mitch. As corrupt as they come.

Donny, Republican party sue over California tax return law

This should be fun to watch, especially if/when it reaches the Supremes, who just said Repubes can gerrymander all they want. Hard to see how they can possibly rule against this one. States rights, etc...

[donquixote99]

Of course they can rule against it. They can do whatever they want. That's what power means.

A man behind a planned Aug. 24 “Straight Pride” rally in Modesto, California, said at a city council meeting there that the organizers were a “totally peaceful racist group.”

Trump really sucks more than I ever could have imagined.
What occupies my mind now is what comes after this abomination for the Republican Party?

Maybe I am overly optimistic but perhaps this a Gorbachev moment in which after the poop stain is flushed down the toilet any successor would be too boring for all the old white people in the midwest to cast a vote on.

We can all dream.

Keep calling him #MoscowMitch: McConnell is finally running scared

https://www.salon.com/2019/08/11/kee...unning-scared/

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell doesn't like it when you call him #MoscowMitch. He hates it so much that he'll accuse you of being a McCarthyist for doing so. If the accusation was untrue — that is, if McConnell, President Donald Trump and other Republicans weren't empowering Russia at the expense of America for their personal benefit — then #MoscowMitch and talk of collusion in Trump's 2016 presidential campaign would be unfair, even unjust. As the facts currently stand, however, it is a perfectly fair label.

The Inside Story of How Newt Gingrich Single-Handedly Destroyed Congress
He went after three Democratic speakers. Two of them with absolutely vile lies. One resigned. The other lost re-election. And the House of Representatives was changed forever.

Newt was instrumental in the GOP's descent into the vile, disgusting, anti-American shitfest it's become.
