A president who will start a war to avoid his own accountability will do anything. There's nothing he won't do. Nothing.

Reading this entire pro-Putin exchange on how to butter up our alleged President into supporting Russia's plan is like eating a large tray of dog vomit.
Never, ever elect another "Republican" to office.

Margaret Sullivan discusses the abysmal ethics of NYT's Epstein coverage, including the paper's radio silence following disclosure of the fact that its lead Epstein correspondent was seeking money from Epstein. The corruption goes far in explaining NYT's editorially deranged Epstein coverage.

Reminder: Sidney Powell pleaded guilty to six counts of conspiracy to commit election interference. So of course Putin's pawns want her as the U.S. Attorney General.

Trump essentially said loyalty to the Constitution is punishable by death. Those are dangerous words coming from the President of the United States, but I’m not going to be intimidated.

Comey: "I'm grateful the court ended the case against me, which was a prosecution based on malevolence & incompetence... I was inspired by the career people who refused to be part of this travesty. It cost some of them their jobs, but it preserved their integrity, which is beyond price"
