‘Get Your Impeachment Hearing Scorecard Right Here!’. Provided to you in the blandly-neutral manner NPR favors. My question: When do we see the staged Rethug theatrics? When the facts aren’t on your side, time to give ’em the ol’ razzle dazzle. Here’s a less leggy preview of the first day, and what D’s need. Carl […]

Bloomberg Enters Race. Let’s cut to the chase. Biden is leaking oil and whatever his Depends can’t contain, and the corporate D’s are petrified. Bloomberg, of course, has no chance.
