There’s a lesson in this that’s similar to one learned from the Hundred Years War (or Game of Thrones). Once someone shows that it’s possible to topple the king, organizing to do it again only becomes easier. And easier. Gingrich conservatives ate the traditional Republican Party. Then the Tea Party ate them. Now the white … Read more
short of simply baking the president a cake with hundred dollar bills inside, foreign dignitaries putting cash money into Donald Trump‘s own corporate bank accounts for the explicit purpose of currying favor with him as president seems like just about the most transparent case of corruption in office one could plausibly imagine. It’s so beyond … Read more
The man is not merely incompetent and unqualified, he is not even a fully developed adult. He is a spoiled child.

Conway says Reid should be “very careful about characterizing somebody in a legal sense.” Reid replied “It only took five days for President-elect Trump to try to silence his critics with the threat of legal action.
