As we all binge watch TV and YouTube, I came across this great clip of Elvis Costello interviewing fmr. President Bill Clinton before a relatively small crowd in Arkansas.  What makes the clip interesting is that the subject matter is largely confined to music.  Whatever you think of his policies, Clinton is...

Why Mitt Romney must demand Trump’s impeachment

Donald Trump

Mitt Romney has never missed an opportunity to be an opportunist.

He's getting worse, there's no question about that.

The best argument I've heard for impeachment so far.

Donald Trump

It seems to be an argument almost as fundamental as “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?”, and just about as insoluble. On the one hand you have activist progressives who argue that the constitution isn’t interpreted by politics, and Trump’s offenses require impeachment, and the consequences be damned....
