Trump on brink of GOP rebellion over emergency declaration

https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/...cy-declaration

What Donny’s trying to do here is flat out unconstitutional, no question. Even someone as stupid as Whell surely knows this. 100% of the Repubes in Congress know it too. Yet only four of them in the senate are willing to speak up!? F’ing cowards! What the hell will it take for them to finally turn on this wannabe autocrat, do their jobs, and remove him?

A significant percentage of his base will need to turn on him. Perversely, if he folds on this unconstitutional action, he'll lose some of his base. They're interested in him owning the libs and fighting, not adhering to laws and norms.

Good article in the New Yorker by Jane Mayer about the incestuous relationship between Fox and this White House.

Yes, isn't it amusing how our resident MAGAMoron rattles on about WaPo and CNN, with this going on right under his ignorant nose? Sad!

The so-called "original intent" conservative Magamorons mystify me, given the FFs opposition to an authoritarian unrestrained executive.

Considering all the wails of doom gibbered by the Tea Party nutbags about Pres. Obama and his 'executive orders' and their utter and abject acquiescence to a reality show star's debased whims, I'm left thinking it's simply rank hypocrisy that these MAGA morons indulge in.

‘American Carnage’: New Book Set to Peel Back the Curtain on Trump-Era ‘Republican Civil War’

https://www.thedailybeast.com/americ...ican-civil-war

Quote:
Another potential bombshell, reporting-heavy book peeking inside the Trump administration is set to hit the shelves this summer.

Politico correspondent Tim Alberta, who has spent years covering the Republican Party, is set to publish American Carnage: On the Front Lines of the Republican Civil War and the Rise of President Trump, which will include new reporting about the decade-long battle within the GOP leading up to and through the Trump presidency
Should be a great read, at least for those of us who do read; sadly, most Trumpkins don't, or can't...

Reading is for sissies. Real men watch Fox & Friends.

Sad indeed. "There are three kinds of men. The one that learns by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves." Will Rogers

Ocasio-Cortez denies dark-money allegations in FEC complaint: ‘There is no violation’

Conservative Repube nutjobs going after AOC for pretty much everything, but mostly for being a latina woman who dared to get elected. Da noive!
