McConnell could've voted to impeach Trump either or both of the two times and he did not. He created the SCOTUS we have now, he gave Trump a pass. This is on you, Mitch!

I think opposition to Trump will ultimately manifest itself as some form of class warfare. This murder may later be seen as just the first example of it. Definitely not condoning violence or murder, just saying it very well may be inevitable (by others).

...And Sen. Susan Collins will say both Hesgeth and Patel "have learned their lesson". And, voila, they get confirmed.

Truly revolting.

Kompromat does not collect itself, you know. That aspect aside, can't imagine EU officials will appreciate having been surveilled.

Will be "interesting" to watch Collins try to spin her way out of taking any heat for cutting social security, which something like 25% of Maine residents receive, paid into, and rely on.

A lot of the policies they want to enact that will dismantle much of the US government as we know it were in the "Project 2025" handbook. But the press did not do their job in covering these plans PRIOR to the election.

Look up "lickspittle" in the dictionary and there is a picture of Sen. Lindsay Graham.

Uh, yeah, that ship sailed a long, long time ago. It was most definitely a gay anthem but now, not so sure since MAGA did some cultural appropriation.

What next? Gloria Gaynor saying "I Will Survive" is not a gay anthem?

If you're talking about the Viking sagas where they rape and plunder, then yes, Trump is like that.

It's odd, in Maine the handful of MAGA people I talked with about why they voted for the fascist party all said it was because of undocumented immigrants... An issue that doesn't in any way impact them personally or is a "problem" in Maine.

Trump already admitted - before the US election - that he and Netanyahu colluded to avoid a cease fire deal before the election.

Up until the first turnover, a Utah newbie scores his first goal against the Habs, or Anderson does something totally cringe? Either way, about 5 minutes.

Yup, I can see it now: In a scathing majority opinion ruling Justice Alito wrote "That's capitalism, baby!" and then Alito and Thomas high fived each other.

It's OK, only the "woke" people will know that red cardinals are all red while the female ones are not.

And you'll never guess who was Lanigan's biggest campaign donor...

That's right: US Senator Susan Collins.

I imagine that anyone who is besties with Syrian dictator Assad might warrant at least being put on a watch list.
