Something Worse Is Always Coming

The GOP appears to be backing off from its threat to stage a coup. But the damage has been done. And Lindsay Graham might have just gotten away with a felony, just one month after violating another law.

The GOP is testing the media and Democrats. They want to know how far they can run with this. The further they can go with this, the more likely they will stage a real coup in the future. Think back and reflect on the recent history of the GOP. With each cycle, they have become more crazy and more evil. From Goldwater to Nixon to Reagan to Newt to Bush 43 and now Trump. That's why people like Joe Scarborough talks about Newt Gingrich like he was just a sensible politician who wanted to cut the deficit. Joe will insist to the end that the GOP was being 'noble' and 'sincere' in 1994. Never mind they wanted to kill Social Security and Medicare, as well as repeal Title VII (the Civil Rights Act and Affirmative Action), Title VIII (the Voting Rights Act), Title IX and Title X.

Incredibly, the Republicans of the recent past don't seem so nuts today, because the party is becoming more and more nuts. That's why some Democrats speak kindly of the worst president we ever had -Bush 43. And that's why, 10 years from now, some talking heads on MSNBC will say that Trump wasn't so bad, given who will be president in 2030. Something worse is coming. Since Goldwater, something worse is always coming.

All Senate Republicans Need To Go

All Republicans need to be banned from office. The party is a hate group that wants to destroy the republic to appease the 40% of Americans who support them. But let’s just rip the Senate in today’s post.

The latest, credible allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh again show us why the Republicans are a disgrace. They could have nominated Amy Coney Barrett to the Court. She’s next in line. But they just had to ram through this sexual predator, liar, and utter scumbag. Sooner of later, Kavanaugh and Thomas will be gone. I hope through impeachment, but I can’t expect the Democrats to reverse these grave mistakes.

The new allegations have made the push to remove Susan Collins more intense. As bad as Susan Collins is, the performance of Lindsey Graham during the Kavanaugh hearings was even worse. He was vitriolic, irrational, and a disgrace to the Senate. It past time both he and Susan Collins were shown the exit.
