I just got this email from Amy McGrath, who's running against MoscowMitch:

A Democrat just defeated one of the most unpopular Republicans in the country in a statewide election in Kentucky. Congratulations to our next governor, Andy Beshear, and our next lieutenant governor, Jacqueline Coleman!

Here’s the part that should keep Mitch McConnell and his cronies up at night: Andy Beshear flipped counties that Donald Trump won by double digits in 2016. He won in coal country. He won in places Democrats aren’t “supposed” to win.

All I have to say is: Mitch, you’re next.

A Republican on Impeachment: Today's LA Times

By Paul Rosenzweig

In Washington, D.C., it is an article of faith that “the cover-up” is always worse than the crime. President Trump has upset that notion.

Up to now, the conventional wisdom had a lot of empirical grounding: There is no evidence, for example, that Richard Nixon knew of the Watergate break-in in advance. He resigned from office because he covered up a “third-rate burglary” that he had no role in planning or carrying out.

Likewise, Bill Clinton engaged in a tawdry affair with intern Monica Lewinsky — conduct that, in our #MeToo era looks more questionable than ever. But his impeachment was not for bad behavior. Rather it was for his perjury and obstruction of justice in concealing that affair from the American people — and, in the end, from the federal courts. Until recently Donald Trump’s most egregious offenses stemmed primarily from his multiple acts of obstruction of justice in the Mueller investigation of his connections to Russia.

Now, however, everything is different. President Trump is the subject of an impeachment inquiry that deals directly with concerns about his personal official conduct. And the difference between a cover-up and a crime is significant.

The Outraged Patriot just sent me the following hilarious email! Read it and laugh!

TRUMP TRAIN MEMBERSHIP STATUS: Pending

CONFIRM YOUR NAME >>


If we don't take a stand right this minute, the Democrats will succeed in ripping apart the very fabric of America.


They'll be able to implement every pillar of their crazed agenda, such as:

Completely socialized health care
Open borders
Massive income tax hikes
The repeal of the 2nd amendment
Taxpayer-funded abortions

They know they can't win legitimately.


The ONLY chance they have of winning is to remove President Trump from office... PERMANENTLY.
