It must be difficult to be Chuck Grassley when it comes to Trump’s tariffs. Whenever I see Grassley talk or write about free trade and tariffs, I can’t help but remember what LBJ once said about what he wanted in an aide or political ally:
I continue to be amazed at how simultaneously stupid and evil Republicans are. After all, I was conditioned by years of action adventure movies to believe the supervillain is always a genius. Hannibal Lecter. Ernst Blofeld. Darth Vader. Dr. Evil. Donald Trump. Chuck Grassley. Two
Kudos to Rolling Stone for this great piece: x I condemn Rep. Steve King’s comments on white supremacy; they are offensive and racist – and not representative of our state of Iowa. We are a great nation and this divisiveness is hurting everyone. We cannot
If I had a time machine, I’d go back to whatever era this semi-ambulant chimp scrotum is living in and kick his ass from here to Woolworth’s. From CNN: Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley on Friday suggested the lack of women on the committee was due to its
Ummmm, they have to schedule a confirmation vote 72 hours ahead of time, so it’s starting to look like a Saturday vote is not going to happen. What does the majority whip have to say? This is the most interesting tweet I've read today. https://t.co/UOvolciFj3
The Truth Is Out There The X-Files Good afternoon Senators. I’d like to begin my opening statement with a question. Do you people have any idea of who I am? I’m Brett fucking Kavanaugh! I was so pure in high school that my name
In the darkness of this immoral political epoch we find ourselves in, two women — Ana Maria Archila and Maria Gallagher — have shown us what real courage is. I am convinced that we now have an FBI investigation of Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations of sexual assault
Received this e-mail today from Democracy for America in support of Beto O’Rourke’s (D. TX) U.S. Senate campaign: I keep thinking about the hearings today. All of it. Dr. Ford’s bravery, courage and pain. Kavanaugh's outrage, centering himself as the “victim.” Senator Grassley’s gavel. Lindsey
Adam Jentleson was Harry Reid’s Deputy Chief-of-Staff. x This is intentional. Ford holds enormous power & Grassley can't stand it. This tweet and McConnell today saying they'll “plow right through” are meant to make her feel powerless. They know Kavanaugh's nomination won't survive her testimony
Lines you never hear in movies; “Do what you want to the girl, just leave ME alone!” George Carlin If the content of the allegation were not so serious, and the personal suffering involved so emotionally wrenching, there would be an almost Three Stooges
I hate when this happens. I've been obsessing over this for like, 20 hours now, it even woke me up at 2:30 this morning. But when you spend as much time watching this shit as closely as I do, you can almost sense when something
GOP strategist Rick Wilson named his new book “Everything Trump touches, dies.” I’ve been calling Trump the “Anti-Midas” for quite a while now, everything he touches turns to shit. Just look at Ronny Jackson. “The Candyman” was as happy as a clam, being a one
(R) Senator Chuck Grassley is blocking the appointment of William Evanina, an Obama appointee who was nominated by Trump to be director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center in an effort to probe and undermine Bob Mueller's investigation into ties between the Trump Campaign and Russia.
Poor John Kasich, he just blew his cover. He likes to come off as this calm, steady, measured, serious kind of blowhard. He was an early and frequent critic of Trump, and of the Republicans that enabled his nonsense. He has portrayed himself as “the
This is from Re-Wire’s SCOTUS reporter Jessica Mason Pieklo's Twitter thread covering the Senate Judiciary Hearings on Kavanaugh’s nomination… **************************************************************** Now Leahy is up. Starts directly with whether or not Kavanaugh lied to him the first time around It's already a tense exchange Kavanaugh stands by
Well, this isn't going at all the way that Ditch McConnell had planned, which is fine by me. Nothing puts a smile on my puss faster than a case of the sadz on McConnell's. What, oh what is a sniveling, double dealing, back stabbing little
If nothing else, Republicans over the past few weeks have delivered an important civics lesson to the American people in general—and Democrats in particular. Facing a growing mountain of irrefutable evidence that the incompetent, out-of-his-depth GOP president of the United States has been enmeshed in
