McConnell will never ask 20 GOP Senators to walk the plank for some hubristic display of having ethics and the sanctity of the Constitution as a concern.

This -Republicans do not care about the Constitution or the rule of law.

Heard something the other day about if you tell only the truth, you don’t need to have a good memory.

But on Moscow Mitch and support for 45, does he really want to stake his reputation in the state and the senate on support for an indicted president.

True, but you might need to find a cheap apartment real fast.

trumPP is the culmination, the end result, the product, of years and years of Rs lying about Democrats and trying to destroy what Democrats have done with legislation, policy, etc. and for 45 in particular what BHO has done. This would be the perfect time to take the rot out by its roots and start over again.

Yep, that shadow State Dept. was stealthy.

But Mitch might put pressure Donnie to take a Pres Pence pardon & resign…

But there’s the main story thread, and then there’s all the side hustles. Too many cooks in the kitchen thought they were chefs.

What’s the over under that Trump shoots someone in the street to further prove his point.

Before, during, or after Thanksgiving?

Republicans are not “invincible,” they are just united in never going against their own. Until they are in a significant minority, success against them will be limited because they will continue to put party over the country.

I’ve had it. I am so fed up with ALL of these curs.

As a result, and because I’m feeling particularly cranky today, I’m announcing some exciting new products you’ll come to know and love — just in time for Xmas!

First is the Trebutinette®, a desk-top model of my wildly popular Trebutine®, the delightful trebuchet-guillotine hybrid that Combines the brutality of a beheading with the spectacle of a pumpkin toss, since 2018!™

The idea was borne of my growing desire to take “certain people” and strap them to a chair with their hands trussed in a specially designed companion apparatus — called a Fzinger!®* — that will immobilize their hands and splay their fingers for ease of insertion into the Trebutinette® … as you play my exciting new parlor game Lop-and-Launch™!

Imagine the fun you’ll have dismembering people like, say, Steve Mnuchin. Will he grimace as you systematically separate him from his digits — Will you be able to tell? — before strapping him into your Trebutine® for the ultimate “Wheeeeeee!”?

… Son of a gun, I’m feeling better already. Aren’t you?

Note: Only 72 shopping days 'til Xmas!

*Trebutine®, Trebutinette®, Fzinger® and Lop-and-Launch™ sold separately or as a set. Gift wrapping available. Not sold in stores.

Mulvaney “had absolutely no communication with the Ukranians about this issue,” said an administration source who spoke on condition of anonymity so he could lie without consequence.

Not much is these days.

Better than court ordered 3 hots and a cot.

Let’s pretend that Ukraine really did not know about aid freeze. Here is administration’s defense in a nutshell:

“We demanded quid pro quo and froze military aid to that end. We explicitly and repeatedly informed Ukraine about our demands. But we did not use words quid pro quo and Ukraine did not know that aid had already been frozen. Therefore Ukraine could not have known about our corrupt intent, certainly not being any doubt. And if they did not know (beyond any doubt) about our corruption, there was no corruption.”

This administration is truly the world’s most complete collection of stable geniuses.

Exactly there was no quid pro quo because Zelenskyy didn’t deliver!
