She did this when she was Labor Secretary under Bush so I’m just so shocked she’d do it again.

It interests me that when you’ve climbed into a cesspit that you should then immerse yourself in its contents, then come out expecting that everyone will believe you bathed in Chanel Number 5.

But then again, I’m not a Republican.

That’s how I initially read the headline. I was wondering which of the current administration we were nicknaming “Chaos” - any of them would fit.

Too many things to keep track of today, way too many things.

I’m shocked. Shocked. Moscow Mitch and Enterprising Elaine seem to be a perfect match. The McConnell-Chao connection is happily exploring new ways to grift and emulate their leader.

Anyone who would marry Mitch McConnell and stay married to him has to be morally compromised.

To which Senator McConnell said “But she’s got all my money!”

Seriously, I can already see the Turtle sweating. Not because he’s afraid of getting caught, he’s just afraid of getting yelled at by “the woman” again.

Well, this is one way that House Democrats can take a shot at Moscow Mitch…it would not be surprising if she was trying to twist her office to benefit her family, and just imagine of an investigation of that turns up some results before the election, and what it might do to Mitch’s election hopes to have been collaborating with the Chinese to the detriment of American workers. Sure would be a shame if he lost based on something like that…
