The party itself (repugs) is so fractured that it seems hard to believe that we can't kick 'em out of power (but then again, perhaps the Dems are even worse!).
Besides, I thought his best work was in City Slickers!

(yes, I know, different guy - different spelling. I need to find SOME way to get some humor in my day after thinking about Orange Cheat-o!)

Usually, when Kristol says something you can bet your paycheck on the opposite being true.

Then they should DO something about it.

Besides sit in their dirty diapers and whine, that is. No blaming Democrats, either.

a chief political advisor that's an antiSemite asshole who called Kristol a 'renegate Jew.' Kristol is normally on the side brainless GOP clowns that are neoconservative on foreign policy, and neoliberal on domestic policy.

I'm loving the infighting here. Bring it on.

But I tend to believe it. This is because most if not all GOP senators beleive Comey told 100% truth. They don't doubt his integrity but feel trapped. McCain is the leading anti-russia hawk, he can't possibly get over it. He wants putin to be punished but he knows trump will never do it.

It's not just Comey, the entire senior FBI staff is on the same page as he noted. Trump would have to shut sown the entire agency to stop the investigation. Sessions, being legally competent, got scared for himself cause he understood the consequences and probably knows some inside information.

Traitors. No mercy. They chose to hand our country over to Putin in exchange for unlimited power. Feel the terror. There is a storm on the horizon. They will forever shame their children and all those who come after them as the traitors they are. They had a hand in destroying America...the great experiment and shining city on a hill. They did that. No forgiveness.

Given Kristol's remarkable history on the latter.

But, just because they are scared does not mean they will do the right thing.
