I have no clue what is up with Mitch McConnell. I wish him good health. But I know this: he grew the alligator in the bathtub that eventually escaped . He could have ended Trump politically.
In exchange he got a few more years of power… and a party of people who hate him and call his wife a Chinese spy.
Hope it was worth it
Because power attracts a lot of men who believe they’re smarter than everyone else, untouchable, and entitled to be in control regardless of what they do.
Tom Kean Jr. was healthy enough to authorize stock transactions up to $190,000 during his nearly 4-month absence from the House.
There’s more to this story than he’s saying.
Second question to Nehls here was mine. He spoke about enjoying lobster tail and ribeyes on July 4th, so I naturally asked him whether the 60% of Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck could enjoy those luxuries.
His reply? Those Americans don't "work as hard" as him, as he heads home for another two-week recess after a two-day work week.
To everyone celebrating the first flight on Qatar Force One today, understand what you are actually applauding.
A foreign government handed the sitting President of the United States a $400 million plane. American taxpayers then paid to retrofit it, with an estimated cost of at least another $400 million (some estimates far higher), for security and communications work in a Texas hangar since last September.
When Trump leaves office, the plane does not stay with the government. Ownership transfers to his presidential library foundation. In other words, he keeps it.
You are being asked to treat pure corruption as normal, to shrug at a President personally profiting from a foreign gift the taxpayers paid to upgrade.
In any other administration this would be the scandal that ends a presidency.
With Trump, it’s Wednesday.

The guy just gets away with everything and his supporters think it’s a good thing - but it’s NOT - and they’ll see soon enough that whatever leeway they’re giving him, will extend to the next guy, and the guy after that etc etc…
