I’m not a lawyer nor a constitutional scholar, but the Media has not being doing its job when it comes to covering the upcoming Senate trial of Trump. I know. “A real shocker there Merlin. Have you thought about auditioning for the role of Captain Obvious?” Hear me out for...
There is some conflicting information about what how low Senate Republicans will go to defend Trump during his impeachment trial in the Senate. I know. Getting ahead of yourself there Merlin, but I think it is reasonable to assume that the House will impeach Trump. I believe most on Daily Kos...
On Tuesday, CNBC’s Jim Cramer noted that he’s been hearing a lot of doom and gloom from Wall Street executives over the possibility that Elizabeth Warren could — gasp! — actually win the presidency: “Look, I’ve got to tell you, when you get off the desk and you talk to executives,...

In phone calls, White House meetings and conversations aboard Air Force One during the past several...
Wait, there’s a limit to the absurdities Republican senators will accept when it comes to Donald Trump’s “presidency”? I’d assumed they’d confirm the entire cast and crew of Duck Dynasty to Cabinet positions if Trump asked them to. Politico: Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said in a C-SPAN “Newsmakers” interview with...
It’s starting to sink in: Republican Sen. Cory Gardner helped mastermind the GOP’s midterm strategy of pushing Senate candidates closer to President Donald Trump. But heading into his own 2020 re-election bid in Colorado, he’s allowing more distance with the not-so-popular president. And he’s not alone. Sen. Thom Tillis of...
I know I am picking at a fresh wound here, but NPR had an interview with a soybean farmer — Josh Gackle – in North Dakota who sits on the American Soybean Association’s board of directors about the effect of Trump’s tariffs on soybeans. You could tell that Gackle didn’t want to...
Yes: x YouTube Video As Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh faced senators Thursday about an alleged sexual assault, North Dakota Democrats are criticizing Republican Rep. Kevin Cramer for his comments about those allegations and other remarks relating to women. The North Dakota Democratic-Nonpartisan League Party is launching a new digital ad Thursday...
If you may or may not have heard, this asshole said this last week: Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) blasted professor Christine Blasey Ford’s accusation of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as “absurd” because they were merely drunken teenagers at the time. Besides, Cramer added, it was “supposedly...
This is an important story by Cameron Joseph of TPM about the Senate race in North Dakota: Top GOP Senate Nominee: Kavanaugh Accusations ‘Absurd’ Because ‘They Were Teenagers,’ Assault ‘Never Went Anywhere’ I recommend that this story gets published far and wide. The money quote: “This case is even more...

Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley (D. OR) in support of his colleague, U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp’s (D. ND) re-election campaign: My friend and fellow Democrat, Senator Heidi Heitkamp, needs our help. National Republicans desperately want to win her seat, and they are coming at Heidi with everything they've got, namely...
FAIL! The top Senate candidate’s website is replete with Getty stock images from around the globe, from Serbia to Indonesia, Hungary to the United Kingdom, to illustrate his made-in-America political views. One notable shot: Cramer, a staunch ally of Trump who has campaigned heavily on a border-security crackdown, uses a stock...
