Jeff Flake (Republican Senator from Arizona), who announced a couple weeks ago that he would not be running for another term because he could not be party to the Trump's ugly politics,... I don't know if the following is a good analysis of things, but... Tracking Congress In The Age Of Trump | FiveThirtyEight Choose the SENATE box (if needed, it seems to be the default), and then click on the TRUMP SCORE column header to sort. This shows the various Senator's support for Trump positions. Republicans range from quite a few at 96.2% down to Susan M. Collins at 80.8%. Jeff Flake is at 90.0% and Bob Corker is at 86.3%. BTW, John McCain is at 84.0%. Democrats/Independents ranged from 53.8% to 9.6%. Bernard Sanders is at 15.4% and Elizabeth Warren is at 11.5%. I guess that ugly politics and (possibly) ugly policy might not be the same. To their (dubious) credit, both Flake and Corker do come in in the bottom 10 for Republican Senator support for Trump policy positions.

Something e-mailed to me. Probably because I'm not a Facebook member, this doesn't play well for me, but I can see where it's going.

Tillerson Scrubbed From State Dept Website - TPM – Talking Points Memo
I thought this was going to be an April 1 joke. I had lost track that Tillerson had indeed been given the boot (had to Wiki to confirm that). Still pretty extreme, but not as extreme as if he were still Secretary of State. Side note:

quote: My "big print".
Source Hatch later turned against Merrick Garland. I think the Democrats should relentlessly pummel the Republicans with variations of the "big print" quotation information. Like "Orren Hatch once said that if the President wants the cooperation of of the opposing party, he should nominate a moderate like Merrick Garland". Or something like that. Percy has repeatedly stated that he does not hate Donald Trump. Well, I'll take the lead - I hate Donald Trump. My adjective/noun choice is "narcissistic boob", although it's hard to not go with the classic "flaming asshole". And to those retiring Republican Senators (Jeff Flake, Bob Corker, and ???) who would rather quit than fight, I say "If you don't like the actions of the lunatic right wing Republican party, vote against those lunatic right wing actions". And yes, I'm still pissed off about the railroading (for lack of a better term) of Al Franken. I'm very slowly working on putting a new message out at the Al Franken topic.

There's nothing Christian about Trump. Christians support him because he's a fellow traveler with respect to conservative judgeships and abortion and other Christian causes, not because he in any way resembles a Christian. YOU GOT IT! There you are Hyroglyphx, wherever you are! They don't support today's Democrats because of Democrats passion for liberal judgeships, the pro abortion causes, and the many other socialist, anti-constitution leanings of today's Democrats. My work here is almost done! So in summary, Trump's a narcissistic boob, but he's the right wing Christian's narcissistic boob.

The best of the feeble resistance to bad Trump. And I file Flake and Corker under "rather quit than fight", which seems to be the case for a fair number of Republican Congressmen (and women?). What would have more impressed me, would for the above to switched parties to the Democratic party. Now that would be making a statement.
...beginning with Speaker Paul Ryan at the top. Another "rather quit than fight".

I believe the woman. Until proven otherwise Avenatti has disqualified himself as a politician. He may well be guilty, but this is a guilty until proven innocent system. In what conceivable way might Avenatti "prove himself innocent"?

I think the whole Trump pre-2016 election campaign was an effort to loose. He did a failed outstanding job of showing that he shouldn't be President. Way back, I said that Trump was Andrew Dice Clay, only with (maybe) a lot of money. Now he's stuck with the job.
I think that Trump might well be trying to get impeached. His ego won't let him just quit, so impeachment would be his easiest way out of a job he really doesn't want. He'd go out being seen by his core supporters as some sort of martyr to the cause.
