The WaPo is reporting that the Senate will call wtinesses: The Senate voted Saturday to call witnesses in Trump’s Senate impeachment trial, in a surprise move that comes one day after a Republican congresswoman’s account of the former president’s actions on Jan. 6 received national attention. Lead impeachment manager Rep....
Response to all the comments below that the Dems “caved”: The House managers really only wanted one witness: Herrera-Beutler, who could testify what Trump told McCarthy — VERY damaging testimony. Herrera-Beutler’s report on that was entered into the record and Trump’s lawyers stipulated to it. That’s what they wanted and...
While I totally agree that a certain new Representative from Georgia should at least be stripped of her committees — and realistically should be expelled from the House, although we know that will not that happen — that does not go far enough. Everyone in the House and the Senate...
On the day when Republicans lost control of the US Senate, Mitch McConnell is being warned that he could be voted out as Republican leader if he votes to convict former President Trump during the impeachment trial. Republicans who know McConnell well believe he will take the temperature of the Senate...
Chicken Coup. As of 12:01pm on January 3, 2021, David Perdue is no longer a U.S. Senator. Let’s keep it that way, as WaPo discovers a tape of Trump trying to threaten a public official. ‘I just want to find 11,780 votes’ President Trump urged fellow Republican Brad Raffensperger, the...
Philip Bump has the goods: it is nearly impossible for the fraud claimed by Trumpists to have occurred in 2020. No evidence has emerged to support an already conspiracy-ridden and ignorance-addled group of crypto-fascists bent on creating a dictatorship for a game-show demagogue. Yet they are even grifting money from...
After Donald Trump won Wisconsin in 2016, I wondered how I could ever go back there. (I’m a Wisconsin native who currently lives in Oregon. I thought I’d never have to deal with someone as loathsome as Scott Walker again; holy shit, was I wrong.) Well, my home state gets...
My favorite clueless conservative take on the (non)fraudulent 2020 presidential election is that there’s no way Joe Biden could have gotten as many votes as he did because he’s an old senile guy who didn’t even campaign whereas Donald Trump has a perfectly normal, non-diseased brain and is beloved across the nation...
Which is it, Don did you “win by a tremendous amount” or did you lose by “12,000 votes”. Trump at the kiddie table damages his brand again. Apparently he’s still whining about the election with no evidence for his claim that he won. Apparently he still harbors the belief that...
This appears to be the Presidents theory. The FBI and Veterinarians across the land have been alerted to be on the lookout for one [or more] extremely constipated dog[s]. Hell, our psycho-kitty has a better excuse when sitting near to a recently shredded curtain, “It was the fly’s fault mam”...
Trump tweets a victory that gets reversed on air. Wayne County just reversed its decision and votes 4-0 to certify. As seen live on CNN with Michigan’s Secretary of State, Trump tweets. CNN went to commercial break, and the ruling is reversed. BAM! x The popular outcry against the absurd 2-2 vote...
Donald Trump will forever be remembered as the man who shot himself in the foot while it was in his mouth. He has been his own worst enemy (as well as being the worst enemy of democracy, decency, and plain simple humanity). But one does have to give him credit...
Show Up and Vote. There’s only one more day of poorly fashioned shtick to free-ticket crowds, of whom at least 700 have died at super-spreader rallies. Uncounted ballots should be the media framing for the next weeks. That’s why media figures should emphasize percentages of uncounted ballots. Ordinarily, as votes are counted,...
Last night and this morning, I felt like crawling into a hole for the next 40 days or so. And not a deep hole. I didn’t have the energy or joie de vivre for a deep hole. It would have been a shallow hole. Barely a hole at all. Really,...
This title is not meant to take away from Black Lives Matter. In fact, it is meant to do just the opposite. John Lewis was a man who knew Voting rights and the power of the vote. John Lewis is no longer with us but the spirit of his convictions...
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 Senate makes another attempt to stop the diversion of military funds to build a border wall that has yet to be built. Senate Votes to Overturn Trump’s Emergency Declaration Over U.S.-Mexico Border x Members on both sides of the aisle agree itâÂÂs time to stop President TrumpâÂÂs phony emergency declaration...
Kudos to ThinkProgress for catching this: Native American voting groups have made it their mission over the years to get as many of their members to the polls as possible. That effort has even greater urgency, as North Carolina prepares next week to hold one of its most closely watched...
Donald Trump just threatened to use ”law enforcement” in order to get the election results he wants in Florida, regardless of his having no authority in this state matter. Rick Scott, who just ran to his buddy Sean Hannity to declare “fraud” with no evidence whatsoever, has announced that he is working with Trump...
