If the upshot of this whole drama ends up being a net GOP loss of like ten seats it will mean that even G-d had enough of Trump's bullshit.

Since January 2023, the New York Times has cited Rep. Ralph Norman, R-SC, in 78 stories. None mentioned that Norman secretly urged the Trump White House in 2021 to declare martial law – in effect, a military-backed coup. Norman wasn’t charged, but the NYT gave him a “pardon” anyway. My newsletter.

wow. not the worst thing that's happened in this white house. but a literal tate fanboy/former tate lawyer intervened to get tate off the hook. sex predators have to look out for each other.

It's a really good question. And, as I said, I'm not actually convinced of my own theory. Who knows what's next? "What can I say about Claudette? Ain’t seen her since January/She could be respectfully married or running a whorehouse in Buenos Aires"

yep. holding up to the pressure really well.

I don't find either theory terribly plausible. Mine or Capitol Hill's. If you're an ambitious pol do you go full Samson and bring the walls down on everyone becaue you can't run for Senate? Can anyone think of any other pol who ever did something like that?

DOJ is running a corruption scheme that allows Trump's allies to plunder the U.S. Treasury. It's like the mafia owning a casino and sending a daily part of the take to made men. It's brazen and outrageous.

Today we’re searching for cherry coffee table legs in a rived cherry log.

They're running from it now. But the fact that Senate Republicans tried to give 10 of their colleagues at least $1 million each for nothing but a bogus press op captures the corruption of Trump II. In no other environment wld this even occur to the most corrupt politicians.

Investigate whoever he wants. Trumps drowning on every front.
