Rep. Cheney learned everything she knows from Daddy, except for the book-banning and state-controlled higher ed curriculum visions of Mom. Dick Cheney was of course a prime proponent of the Neo-Fascist “unitary executive theory,” which advocates that democracy should be handed off to dictatorship.
Cheney, and of course, Rep. Graham’s defense of Barr’s traitorous subversion is traitorously subversive.
But with Liz, it’s a family affair.
is:
In this great country, we don’t bow down to a king.
We don’t bow down to a dictator.
We don’t bow down to anyone.
And Pelosi had better whip that into their talking points.
Addison on Virgil’s Georgics:
“We find our imaginations more affected by his descriptions than they would have been by the very sight of what he describes.”
the same Republican Party that Biden thinks will magically reform once Trump is gone?
Needless to say, Trump’s White House is now staffed entirely by dreck, and Mulvaney is among the dreckiest.
Lying, lawless, welcher, deadbeat “fiscal hawk” Mulvaney may now finally have gone too far.
Trump wanted him around because Mulvaney has no ethics whatsoever. And he’s now looking more and more exposed because he has no ethics whatsoever. The fact that Trump is now venting his displeasure at Mulvaney’s inability to exonerate him is the least of Mulvaney’s problems.
When the Dems & the Feds coming knocking on Mulvaney’s door, will Mick come out with that flustered, fluttery treble he’s taken to using when he goes on TV to lie for Trump?
is an anti-democracy fanatic, one of the most activist extremists in the history of our Supreme Court.
He’s not an actual jurist; he’s an operative, whose role in the de-legitimization of the Court cannot be underestimated.
But he’s clever He’s playing the long game, the long con.
Will he tip his cards during the impeachment trial?
Elizabeth Wydra of the Constitutional Accountability Center has something to say about that on MCNBC.
Raw Story dubs it.
will say anything, absolutely anything to collect that paycheck.
It is, I admit, amusing to hear how Tucker has traded in his finishing school accents to sound more like the faux-populist demagogues with whom he shares the hate and propaganda rostrum at Fox “News.”
Carlson and his fellow broadcasting operatives bank on projection: today’s example, Carlson’s accusation that Adam Schiff is mentally ill.
Yes, calm, cool Adam Schiff. Not flapping, screaming, incoherent Mr. Trump.
Simon and Schuster should cancel the balance of Carlson’s multi-book deal. His first book was, of course, a lead balloon and he is an ethics-free black hole.
You do know, of course, that May of this year marked the fiftieth anniversary of my acting debut. It was the start of a varied and interesting career. . . doing other things.
You see, my father had a client named Bro Herrod, who owned the 13th Street theater, now called the 13th St. Repertory Theatre, on 13th St. between Fifth and Sixth Aves.
In spring of 1969, Herrod was putting on a play called The Coiled Spring, a Holocaust opus. There were parts in it for two young boys, and since I had already written mini historical plays to put on in elementary school, Dad I guess volunteered us.
It had a two-week or so limited run. Well, we gave it our all. At one point we were supposed to scream offstage as we were being rounded up and shipped to a camp. One of the actresses who was on stage at that moment asked me not to scream so loud because I was drowning her out.
My father would drive us in from Queens and drive us home. And some nights, we’d be treated to making our triumphant entrance into Sutter’s, which is exactly where Rosemary’s now is at the corner of Greenwich Ave. and West 10th.
Call it the Sardi’s of downtown; at least it might as well have been given how excited we were to
GO OUT AFTER THE SHOW, and stay up late!
In those days, the West Village was the West Village.
It’s time to cut the shit, Senator Warren reminds the Democrats, and fight Trump’s arson with something more than water buckets.
With all that’s happened this week, with U.S. democracy and national security on the ropes, all she can come up is a plaintive little proposal that the law be changed so that sitting presidents can be indicted?
What alternate reality is she in?
The Speaker knows how to whip. She refuses to whip. She is therefore enabling Trump’s destruction of this country.
We need a new Speaker.
