He puts being friends with the creeps on the right above literally EVERYTHING. Peter C. Schwartzkopf? "A terrible person." That's on his business card. The list goes on and on.

Hi Dem "moderate" & fuck you. We don't need your kind, or conservatives who don't like Trump to win elections.  Jeet Heer at The Nation, explains why Democrats don’t need…

What to make of this? I think the best explaination is that it is a "weekend at Bernies" situation in which Carper's staff is trying to give the impression that Tom Carper is still alive.

Not being a legitimately elected President has given Trump the ability to ignore laws at will. Josh Marshall give a brief snapshot of all the laws he will be breaking…
