Republicans stay in disarray, most recently over Marjorie Taylor Greene’s unabashed Russia-humping. Even the New York Post called her Moscow Marjorie on its cover. Meanwhile Texas GOP rep Tony Gonzales called out his party’s “scumbags” and said Matt Gaetz paid minors for sex. I’m going out on a limb here, but I think that even the notoriously dim-bulbed GOP realizes that a very small tail is wagging a very large dog, and that some dogs do just fine with a docked tail.
Trump on Trial enters its second week with speculation about who today’s secret witness will be – the court took the extraordinary step of refusing to release the identities of witnesses in advance to prevent Trump’s logorrhea against them. CNN says it’s former National Enquirer honcho David Pecker. Meanwhile, over in civil court, prosecutors want the judge to reject the sketchy bond Trump is proffering. Golly, how’s he going to wriggle out of this one? Tune in and see!
In what has been obvious all along, polling shows that RFK Jr.’s candidacy draws more voters away from Trump than Biden. Yeah, that was hard to suss out – an anti-vaxxer’s fans come from among the anti-vax MAGAts. I can never decide whether our august political media is stupid or they just think we are.
The floor’s yours.
