Mitt Romney has a tweet or two critical of Trump, and now he wants to be some kind of hero during impeachment? That’s what is being reported by Gabe Sherman of Vanity Fair. In the Senate, Ben Sasse and Susan Collins have made their usual equivocal noises—but not surprisingly, its Mitt Romney, longtime Trump antagonist and sometime suck-up, who’s become the…
I always wondered why Donald Trump wanted to go into politics — a field he has no aptitude for nor knowledge of. Consider this tweet: x I’m hearing that the Great People of Utah are considering their vote for their Pompous Senator, Mitt Romney, to be a big mistake. I agree! He is a fool…
Since Donald Trump thinks he can do no wrong, he apparently didn’t fully comprehend the danger inherent in releasing the transcript of his call with Ukraine’s new president. But less brain-damaged Republicans apparently understand the gravity of the situation that the 8,000-pound White House gorilla has put them in. The Washington Post: Several Senate Republicans…

Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) told Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) at one point, according to two Republicans who attended the…
As the New Year begins, imagine that this is how your 2018 ended: You work at a company where the CEO and the management team are notoriously corrupt. They began the year by taking on $150 million in new debt for the purpose of rewarding themselves and their shareholders with a massive stock buyback. But as the…
Mitt Romneys rather mild criticism of Goldilocks, in which he said drumpf’s character, (not to mention near everything else) falls a little short of Presidential, has caused the GOP to cast off their strained mooring lines and depart, under full sail, into the sea of perfect storm buttcrazy: x Watching her talk about her own uncle…
So, 13 months after Donald Trump took the oath of office, it’s come to this for the Republican Party. Its putative leader used to be pro-choice. He routinely boasted about getting “everybody” insured, only to then promise to “kill” Obamacare. He not only reversed past positions at a rapid-fire rate, he lied to voters at…
