To hell with Collins. She needs to go just as much as Moscow Mitch does.

The grand finale has got to be some sort of sex tape set in a mysterious foreign hotel room, right? The two of them with a paid participant maybe. With a honey in the middle, there’s some leeway.
It seems being evil takes its toll on the body (cf. GOP).

It has long been obvious that Republicans would ultimately converge on this final defense of President Trump: Even if he did everything he has been accused of doing, and perhaps a lot more that we don’t know about, it’s absolutely fine!
We now have a particularly ugly preview of what this defense may look like, as Trump’s Senate trial gets underway. On Sean Hannity’s Thursday night show, former Republican National Committee chair Reince Priebus said:
Sometimes the best defense is the ‘so what’ defense. If everything the Democrats said is true, it’s still not impeachable. If everything Lev Parnas said is true, it’s still not impeachable. That’s what this is about.
Hannity endorsed the argument. Parnas is the former accomplice of Trump lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani who just revealed explosive details about Trump’s scheme to extort Ukraine into doing his dirty political deeds.

The Hannity segment is a fog machine of disinformation and incoherence. But the whole thing is must-watch TV. It features arguments that set up the claim that there’s nothing wrong with anything Trump did. Those will be key to his defense — and to justifying making the trial as much of a coverup as possible.

It’s hard to fathom just how colossally fucking stupid Republican voters are to simultaneously believe that while also driving to Trump rallies where they can chant “Lock her up!”.
There’s not really even a fig leaf anymore: the Republicans are the party of dictatorship. They want a dictator to maintain and expand white power and privilege.
I don’t get how every serving Republican has abandoned their self respect in favor of turning into a trump toadie. Is staying in office that important?
Kinda wish Johnnie Cochran were still alive so he could get on this dream team. Somehow I doubt he’d take the gig, though.

You can’t really use Jared Leto for age comparisons since he’s obviously been using the spice melange.
