Considering he’s garnered some attention for running against a (PEACE ADVOCATING) relative of one of the Munich terrorists and he’s been spending time in Israel, I wonder if he imagined it was something more … um … admirable, and then someone probably mentioned he might want to rephrase it.

Thing is: they got their tax cut. Everything he’s doing now hurts them. Tariffs and the rest of it. Wall Street likes stability and money. He’s costing them both of those things. More regulation repealing is all he offers and after seeing him pick and choose winners on Twitter, they’re probably not very comfortable with leaving that to him at this point.
They still have plenty of other GOP pricks in their pockets though, and the Trump shitshow continues to divert attention from a Republican controlled Congress passing legislation that screws America in favor of corporations and the 1%, so I can’t really see how it’s not in donors best interests to keep on MAGA-ing.
Giuliani: That’s called double jeopardy.

Cohen’s resemblance to Bob Loblaw has been noted.
Chachi is a MAGA idiot, as well. It all fits.
Sadly, because it is West Virginia, nobody cares. NPR covered it last week, but it got no legs apparently.

In a normal world, in about two years you would read about a wave of federal indictments reaping half the WV legislature and a bunch of random other local politicians. This sort of thing used to happen in New Jersey every few years when the current generation of criminal pols was far enough removed from the last to have forgotten what happened to them. With the current DoJ, though, who knows, maybe the old judges will be executed after bills of attainder are passed against them.

They’re being impeached for committing 1/billionth of the crimes committed by Republicans. Sick.
Man. Bills of attainder are one of the worst ideas any power-hungry motherfucker ever had.
Of course, by saying that I’ve now doomed us in this, the dumbest timeline. Sorry y’all.
So, the Republicans are privately circulating a list of the scandals about which they are afraid a Democratic House will be able to start investigations and hearings if they take over.

• The payment to Stephanie Clifford — a.k.a. Stormy Daniels
• James Comey’s firing
• Trump’s firing of U.S. attorneys
• Trump’s proposed transgender ban for the military
• Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin’s business dealings

Dude, you made me shoot tea up my nose.
I hope that was deliberate.
Man, it would be just awful if we actually investigated and held accountable all the people that violated the law.
