Marjorie Taylor Green, unburdened by House committee work, should put a bit more time into her trolling banter. Sadly, this was no different than the previous guy’s issues with thinking the US Virgin Islands, Puerto […]
Even if he’s still a war criminal, John Bolton will get his place in history perhaps for a less ignominious act. In June, national security adviser John Bolton warned U.S. diplomats that Rudy Giuliani would prove […]

John Bolton got a book deal after he was fired by Trump, so any appearances in favor of Democrats will be another in a lifetime of expedient acts. We can’t forget his history of what […]

Keeping it simple, even as there’s so much obstruction, self-dealing, and just basic corruption. x READ: Pelosi's 'fact sheet' on Trump impeachment Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office on Monday released a “fact sheet” detailing allegations against Trump […]
The Russians have always been there. Whether they’re political officials, hackers, or organized crime figures, we’ve never really left the Mueller report and the Steele dossier. Reminder: Mueller Report noted that Jared Kushner & Flynn met […]
If they’re innocent why are they not cooperating. Let's be clear: The President of the U.S. Senate – still a Congressional body – is rejecting a Congressional request for information. Pence is irredeemably conflicted. He […]
