Rafael’s command of the Bard is almost as good as his command of principles.

So…help me understand: Trump enjoyed yesterday so much that they have to change all the plans they made for the defense?

Proof a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

Ted Cruz’s cultural references make Marco Rubio seem hydrated.

I can’t wait to see the defense of the indefensible.

Great choice, Ted, the story of a man whose ambitions and delusions led him to commit a series of crimes until it all came crashing down around him.

Now does he feel
His secret murders sticking on his hands.
Now minutely revolts upbraid his faith-breach.
Those he commands move only in command,
Nothing in love. Now does he feel his title
Hang loose about him, like a giant’s robe
Upon a dwarfish thief.

See, Ted, if you were actually the brainiac you think you are, you might have known what the fucking play is actually about. Stupid emmereffer. Of Andrea Mitchell we will not speak.

Kinda like how Republicans in the 1980s used to sing “Born in the USA” thinking it was a jingoist anthem

Whitehouse finally went there. Watch for the parade of outrage, without a single word of actual denial.

So, if Joe Biden invited a high school civics class to the Capitol to view the workings of Congress, the GQP would already be pushing for him to be impeached and convicted for treasonous sedition for inciting an attack on the Capitol.

T****? Not so much.

Cruz is a poor player who struts and frets his hour upon the stage. I can’t wait until we hear no more of him.

Tubberville was quite Trump’s inside man wasn’t he. I wonder what he is thinking today. One day he was a famous football coach, the next a new US Senator and now everybody wonders if he is a modern Benedict Arnold.

“David was so good in the professor type.”

Oh. I thought he was in the Jim Jordan type.

Certainly interesting timing. Trump’s rage-tweet against Pence came just after he hung up with tubey.

The Scottish Play is my favorite. It’s all about ambition and how it corrupts.
It’s also about camouflage.
