BTRTN: Time for Republicans to Build a Tunnel Underneath Trump's Wall

[PJMcK]

1. Quite a good column

There's an excellent suggestion towards the end that tells Republican lawmakers to do their jobs out of the spot light, quietly make veto-proof deals with Democrats, pass the legislation and let Trump veto it (to preserve his "credibility" with the far-Right), then override the veto. It's kind of a win for all sides.

But this part about Giuliani cracked me up:

At this point, you’d expect that if rumors were to emerge that Mueller’s team actually has a copy of a “golden showers” video tape that Christopher Steel alleged to exist in his famous “dossier,” Rudy would careen down to CNN headquarters and get into a high testosterone shouting match with Chris Cuomo, ranting, “Now, Chris, I have not seen the tape, but heaven’s sake, Chris, watching a Russian prostitute urinate on your bed is not a crime! It’s not collusion, Chris! And collusion isn’t even a crime, Chris! So if some Russian prostitute urinated on some bed in Moscow, Chris, I can’t imagine why it is even relevant to anything at all!”

Such an exchange would of course only serve to convince America that the tape must exist. It must be real. Hiring Rudy Giuliani for damage control is like vacuuming your carpet with a fertilizer spreader.

That's an excellent explanation of how Giuliani has become such a freak and weirdo.
