The Holler’s Kanew asked a retiring Rep. Byrd about girls he apologized for sexually abusing.

New in PN: The lame duck dictatorship

"It’s increasingly clear that Trump & his captive political party are in the midst of a political reversal. Every major 'policy' of theirs is unpopular & the regime’s leader is a lame duck dictator who's poised to draw his party deeper into a political abyss."
The lame duck dictatorship
Trump is fighting his "war within" on multiple fronts and losing them all.
