Month: August 2018

I think the chances are about 25% that Republicans try to talk Donald Trump into resigning office before the new Congress is sworn in next January. No, I'm not engaged…

Yesterday was the best day for anti-Trumpism since his election. His own tweet removed the fig leaf Republicans have been hiding behind ever since the Trump Tower meeting went public:…

For all of the damage that Trump has inflicted on America, we need to thank the President for one thing. He has stripped away the pretense that the GOP is not a white supremacist, racist organization. Trump has made it absolutely clear that ANY politician running under the "R" banner is complicit in advancing and supporting a white supremacist, racist organization. That includes Ken Simpler and any otherwise "nice" republican still trying to pretend that GOP of 2018 is he GOP of 1990 or even the GOP of 2010. Is it fair to single out Ken Simpler in a headline as a racist? I mean Simpler is probably outwardly nice to the minorities he comes in contact with, but this is much bigger than individual relationships. And if I am wrong, all Simpler would have to do to prove me wrong is renounce his affiliation with the white supremacist, racist organization that is the GOP in the age of Trump. One year after the President aligned the GOP with the white supremacist, racist attacks in Charlottesville, it is not too late for Simpler to do the right thing.

"My son had a meeting in Trump Tower (with Russians) to get information on Clinton." Is this Trump setting up Jr. to take the fall, or is he really this…

I can't embed it, so you'll have to see it over at TPM. Is it possible that the thing is a real ad?

Senator Chris Coons' National Prayer Breakfast contact, Mariia Butina, was also in contact with former Trump campaign aide J.D. Gordon in the weeks leading up to the 2016 presidential election, the Washington Post reported Friday. Gordon, who served as a former foreign policy adviser to Trump, told the newspaper he disclosed their meetings and emails in testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee. Coons has still not disavowed his connection with the National Spy Breakfast.
