Just three broken ribs for Justice Ginsburg.

am sure that he would love Rudy to defend his wishes and whims, but his public record of crazy should eliminate that from any serious consideration, as well as his general partisan disposition.

You'll recall that Pam Bondi is the Florida Attorney General who declined to investigate fraud allegations against Trump University after she received a $25,000 campaign contribution from Trump through his foundation. A high level position in the Trump Administration sounds about right.

By the Senate, which probably isn't going to stop anyone Trump wants.

Chester County Dems looking for people to run for row offices and commissioner next year. Who wants to run my campaign?

they have to slow the roll on Rudy, right. Maybe not Bondi or the Jersey Devil. Christie is the sanest of the lot. Question is why does it need to be multiple candidates? Just the reality show in him? Or is this leaked testing? There were months where he could have dip tested the candidates.

The Acting AG let it be known that he has absolutely no intention of recusing himself from the Meuller probe. Why would he, and that was probably a condition of employment. Time for senate... who am I kidding.

Dems had such a good night in Burlington County on Tuesday that the freeholder candidate tagged with the domestic violence & harassment allegations (that he acknowledged & suspended his campaign over, but he wasn't charged on them) won. He's planning to resign after he's sworn in.

I guess if you're already voting for Menendez, it was not a big leap to keep going.

you think 5 republicans would defect? I think they'd confirm anyone with a law degree.

Well since Hunter and Collins both won I'd say whatever. #GlassHouseMoment

I could not vote for an abuser/harasser but I could vote for a financial/corruption scandal ridden candidate. Because at that point you're basically voting for a special election.

Story of the year, Senator McConnell telling the Dem house not to repeat the mistakes of the Republicans in impeaching Clinton

by **Phred** » Thu Nov 08, 2018 14:36:16

Part of me thinks/hopes, and I am sure that this is a pipe dream, that since the time of both houses being GOP coming to an end that the Senate may be less inclined to not care any more.

Are they searching for a Trump 2.0?

What makes you think he'll ever be out of the picture?

“President Trump’s installation of Matthew Whitaker as acting attorney general of the United States after forcing the resignation of Jeff Sessions is unconstitutional,” wrote [George] Conway, along with lawyer Neal Katyal. “It’s illegal. And it means that anything Mr. Whitaker does, or tries to do, in that position is invalid.”

I am not sure if I am in awe of the strength of the Conway marriage, or suspect of its reality.
