1) Trump pardons a corrupt Dem
2) Jeffries makes excuses for the "thin" indictment
3) Cuellar files to run as a Dem
4) Trump squeals that his quid pro quo isn't being honored
Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”

In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

And I give one detailed example of how the con worked; the Tomahawk missile BS. The Trump administration went to great lengths for a while to pretend there was a chance that Trump would send Ukraine these missiles--AND THERE WAS NO CHANCE AT ALL. It was a sadly effective con.

Seemed like a good idea at the time but proved to be too complex and expensive. Some tech like hydrogen are heading down this path - I thought it would be a good solution for long haul trucking, Construction, Ag... but its not.

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love.

I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

1. So a little about myself for those who are unfamiliar and who may have found me here.

This is the 23rd year I've taught Jr/Sr High School humanities, but I've also been both informally and formally monitoring the far right for at least 25 years. Closer to 30 in fact.
