Murkowski – The Politicus

Previous Guy's Republican States of America: lots of ring-kissing and revenge fantasies

Not prosecuting Trump for what seems to be incontrovertible evidence of his Stormy Daniels payoff seems to be small potatoes only if the big enchiladas are left on the plate. Yet the GQP thinks that they still need him, likely because there are no alternatives, what with Ted Cruz having dinner with...

With his “patio rant”, previous guy's Big Lie is the ultimate deep fake

Like any good con artist Trump now tries to call his losing a “big lie”, because he’s all about the disinformation as he does his lounge act in Florida and now New Jersey. Trump or his media image is the kind of synthetic construction that combines the GQP lie affirmed by...

'Trump has never actually been wrong': The MAGA cult has eaten the Republican Party

AZ & MT-Sen: These GOPers Were Willing To Stiff Native Americans In $2 Trillion Stimulus Bill

There’s another great piece from The Huffington Post about how the Trump Administration with the help of U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R. KY) and House Freedom Caucus Leader, Rep. Mark Meadows (R. NC-11), tried to screw Native American Tribes out of getting any sort of emergency relief funding...

Surprise! Sen. Murkowski not sure Trump has learned his lesson

Let’s see, Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski voted to block witnesses in Donald Trump’s impeachment trial and also voted to acquit our ocher overlord. And now Trump is on a rampage, interfering in the sentencing of his cronies, firing witnesses, and generally behaving as if he’s above the law. What say...

Murkowski Now Blames Elizabeth Warren For Her Craven Votes.

That really “divisive” question that Elizabeth Warren asked of Chief Justice John Roberts during this sham trial of Trump was responsible for Lisa Murkowski’s vote to not hear witnesses. Really. This is the BS that CNN is pushing. To recap what Warren asked of his Supremeness: “At a time when...

The Arms for Dirt scandal: Good faith in the Senate falls from the Cusp of the Cover-Up

Even as Susan Collins and perhaps Lisa Murkowski votes for witnesses, there will be an eventual vote against conviction and then the cover-up begins. x “It's not a real trial and it's not a real exoneration,” @KirstenPowers says. “And it's a cover-up,” @CarlBernstein adds. “That's what the Senate has now...

Dead Man Walking: Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) doesn’t want to hear from witnesses in President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial.

Trump: this is my strongest and most powerful protest! Pelosi: If we do not act now, we would be derelict in our duty. It is tragic that your reckless actions make impeachment necessary. You gave us no choice. What we are discussing today is the established fact that you violated the Constitution.

E. Howard Hunt’s storytelling could return as one can imagine Trump's last State of the Union speech (SOTU) as unhinged, the second SOTU in history to be delivered by an impeached POTUS.

Is John Bolton's testimony a GOP False Flag operation to provide cover for vulnerable Senators

OK, it’s not Kabuki as much as it is Shadow Puppetry.
