When will something be mumbled on transparency into finances of officials in elections? Trump is the model, but I assume that others will follow by locking down information about how they became wealthy.

FWIW, it is laudable that we know that country lawyer Mitch McConnell's start turn was his wife's money.

Good point - I edited the original post to reflect that.

Do you get the impression that the Supreme Court doesn’t like me?

Since packing the SCOTUS isn't working out so far I'm sure the next step for conservatives will be to discredit the authority of the Supreme Court in general

"isn't working" because they've had a few bad results. The packing of the federal courts is doing a lot of work for Mitch. Luckily, Trump will see defeat in the recent decision instead of the bigger picture.

I think Roberts is well aware of his potential legacy in history and he doesn't want to be remembered in line with Roger Taney.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

The recent Supreme Court decisions, not only on DACA, Sanctuary Cities, Census, and others, tell you only one thing, we need NEW JUSTICES of the Supreme Court. If the Radical Left Democrats assume power, your Second Amendment, Right to Life, Secure Borders, and...

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

...Religious Liberty, among many other things, are OVER and GONE!


This is pretty crazy. Aside from having no idea how the country works or that the venerable Constitution was not a tabloid, its just another day for the Chief Twit.
