In my latest for Truth and Consequences I argue that Mitch McConnell showed his hand yesterday on Trump's coming impeachment trial ... and it doesn't look good for the soon-to-be former president truthandcons.substack.com/p/its-starting…

If the GOP is going to jettison Donald Trump now is the time to do it, when his political standing is the lowest and his megaphone is the weakest.

Turning on Trump will allow McConnell to present congressional Republicans as cut from a different cloth than the former president - committed to the nation's democracy and the rule of law. It's hogwash, but it might actually work

My latest for Truth and Consequences ... the defining photos and video clips of the Trump presidency
truthandcons.substack.com/p/thanks-for-t…

In my opinion the Trump "fast food picture" is the greatest photo of the Trump era but this is a close second

There are so many great video clips, but the full "person, woman, man, camera, TV" is really something else

In my latest for Truth and Consequences I have a few thoughts on the coward Ben Sasse and his efforts to deflect from years of enabling Donald Trump truthandcons.substack.com/p/the-cowardly…

In 2016, Ben Sasse was a critic of Donald Trump - even refusing to endorse him in the presidential election. In Trump's first two years he frequently criticized him ... then in 2019 he switched up when he was trying to deflect a primary challenge

In early 2020 he refused to vote to convict Trump in the impeachment trial and largely kept silent about the president's mismanagement of the pandemic .. then in October 2019 began criticizing him again, once he was on his way to reelection.

I don’t understand this. They did take over the Senate. Rioters were taking selfies seated in the president’s chair

Also is there any evidence this brave officer purposely redirected the mob ... or are journalists just making assumptions?

Also, Officer Goodman didn't save the Senate or the members ... he saved the rioters from possibly getting killed:

There’s a very simple explanation for why Democrats didn’t get a “better” stimulus deal. They are negotiating with a political party that is indifferent to human suffering.

The reason Republicans finally agreed to a COVID relief deal is to help Perdue and Loeffler ... so they can maintain control of a legislative body to which they are committed to doing nothing but stopping Democratic efforts to help their fellow citizens

Blaming Democrats for not getting a better deal when Senate Republicans have opposed and stymied more stimulus for seven months is maddening. Democrats are far from perfect but this isn’t on them.
