Mick Mulvaney went on Fox News Sunday and tried to "clarify" his quid pro quo comments to Chris Wallace. He blamed reporters for misunderstanding and misrepresenting his words. Unfortunately for him, Wallace played the... Continue Reading →
Baltimore congressman Elijah Cummings was more gracious, generous, and better than most. There's no better example of that than his friendship with Republican and staunch Trump defender Mark Meadows, who sat on the House Oversight and Reform Committee, which Cummings chaired. Earlier this year after Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib implied Meadows committed a racist act,... Continue Reading →
Maybe I'm just naive and don't understand diplomacy or foreign policy, but it seems to me if you're going to have a successful ceasefire, then both sides have to agree on the definition of "ceasefire." Donald Trump, the self-described "stable genius" and "great negotiator" with "unmatched wisdom," sent sycophant Mike One and sycophant Mike Two... Continue Reading →
Out of the multiple times I shouted at the TV yesterday during acting-chief-of-staff Mick Mulvaney's disaster of a press briefing yesterday was when he was answering a question about the House investigating Trump awarding the next G7 summit to himself.

This may come as a shock to you but there are journalists at Fox... Continue Reading →

Marie L. Yovanovitch, the former ambassador to Ukraine who was forced out by Rudy Giuliani and his fellow goons, testified before Congress yesterday. She was told that Trump had lost trust in her and had wanted her out since 2018, though he extended her term to 2020 less than two months before. On the same... Continue Reading →
Donald Trump says, "I don't know those gentlemen," when asked about Rudy Giuliani's two associates who were just arrested for campaign finance violations while trying to flee the country. That's too bad because he'll probably need some friends to show him around once in prison. Despite not knowing the two men, Trump said there are... Continue Reading →
