His Schtick is stale and his appeal is already diminished.

By next year he will try to make noise by going out to prop up primary opponents and will fall flat on his fat Fucking face.

I wasn’t aware senators were supposed to pledge loyalty to presidents, including ones who aren’t even in office anymore.

Insufferable, stupid asshole.

She's committed to being a Conservative in the mold of McCain... as Manchin is committed to being an old-skool Blue Dog DEM.

SDNY is keying in on Trump Org CFO Allen Weisselberg according to recent reports...

You think there aren't 10 layers of responsibility between Trump and the crimes? You think Trump assembled loan documents and paper clipped valuations onto loan apps?

Oh... and where you gonna' get the jury that DOES NOT have 6 Trump voters on it?

NYC, you say? Well, after change of venue, it'll be held in Rochester.

Fat Cats are NEVER held accountable in the US...

Want to defeat Trump? Do it with good GOVERNANCE. This is OUR TIME now, show the American people that Democratic governance is BETTER than Trumpism.

But still hopeful there is some level of accountability in our justice system. Something that also can go hand in hand with good governance.
