Believe it or not he often intentionally chooses the worst possible people for important positions. He did it with his businesses too. He’d have some reason why he thought it would benefit him, but he also just enjoys/needs the chaos.

Grassley is incompetent and bat shit crazy. And not necessarily in that order.

You don’t say...

It was jarring to sit in a federal courthouse today for a criminal hearing about Trump's FIRST national security adviser (Flynn), while news broke about Trump firing his THIRD national security adviser (Bolton).

Uhhhhh

The constitutional system Republicans abused in their 40 year effort to build a semi-permanent, unaccountable GOP superlegislature also allows Democrats to undo all that work overnight if they win concurrent majorities. Sorry, thems the rules.

The essence of it. Republicans have spent a decade using means ranging from aggressive to illegitimate to corrupt to pack the courts. Democrats now compelled to undo the damage of this corruption. Ergo GOPs now big supporters of norms & apolitical judiciary, starting nov. 4!!!

Donald Trump published an ad calling for the execution of the Central Park Five before any trial, but yeah, Maxine Waters is the problem.

Morning inspirational quote

If you're comparing Justin Trudeau to Adolph Hitler ... well congratulations to you on leading a life so safe, so pleasant, with such abundant meals and comfortable beds that you have lost the ability even to *imagine* what fear, persecution, suffering, and pain would feel like

Dr. Fauci is a national hero who will be remembered for generations to come for his innate goodness & many contributions to public health Despite your business success, you will be remembered most for fueling public hate & divisions. You may have money, but you have no class.

The anti-Fauci stuff comes from the same emotional place as the Hunter Biden fantasies: the desperate hunt for a scapegoat for Trump's 2020 defeat to absolves Trump and his supporters of responsibility for their own mistakes and crimes.

caught in a huge lie, GOP SOTU respondent lies about the lie
