The manic component in Trump’s dementia will accelerate as he crows over the tax “victory,” so be extra-vigilant about impending firings.

Has there ever been a more psychologically stunted US government body than the GOP Congressional caucus?

Sen. Murkowski’s fanatical determination to despoil the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge has something to do with perpetuating, vindicating her father, Sen. Frank Murkowski’s crusade to ruin it.

These are sick, greedy, immoral and irresponsible GOP office holders. Horrible, horrible people.

How does Presidential-aspirant Ben Sasse reconcile his self-reliance shtick with his vote to enrich the titans of unearned income at the expense of America’s working people?

Fraud, fraud, fraud, fraud, fraud, fraud.

Gets on her high horse and says the media’s accounting of her tax betrayal is the result of sexism.

Couldn’t you have come up with something more original?

Is “sexism” the last refuge of GOP scoundrels?

Do GOP Congress members ever take personal responsibility for anything they say or do?

In the Chicago Tribune, Rev. Jesse Jackson reminds us that:

“We will be judged, the Bible says, by how we treat ‘the least of these.’ In Isaiah 10:1-3, it is written: ‘Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless. What will you do on the day of reckoning, when disaster comes from afar? To whom will you run for help? Where will you leave your riches?’”

Is Joe Biden still going around the country touting the patriotism of the wealthy?

The minute the tax bill passes, he turns on a dime, disavows the lies he’s been pitching about how tax cuts will pay for themselves and launches his new attack on Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

And when I was just going to ask why, if the tax cuts were going to pay for themselves, cuts to essential social services were necessary?

Last night the GOP Senate celebrated a tax heist that will cause untold misery to millions of their fellow citizens and do irreparable damage to their country.

High crimes and misdemeanors.

The hopped-up mad dog Rep. Jordan strews subpoenas through the air like confetti–and with equivalent legal gravitas.

Go head, subpoena Strozk and Page and let them tell you how they expressed their constitutional rights to express political opinions. And go ahead and object to that, you frothing political operative.

She goes into this vote tonight knowing that not only did she betray her constituents, she let McConnell and Trump make her look utterly foolish. They knew their promises to her were  meaningless in view of House GOP intransigence. She knew, too, but she was putting party loyalty above all else. Now her reputation is finished, as is her political career. Just like with Corker, Sen. Collins pursued an endgame that puts a indelible smudge on her entire Senate tenure.
