It said he served himself at the buffet, not that he served himself at the table. That's what the help's for.

The Repube Party should be dubbed the Russian Party since they seem to be bought and paid for by the Russians.

I ask you, why the gratuitous slur against butterbeans? They are good eatin'....enough said.

Obama had the audacity to be eloquent, witty, intelligent, and gracious in the face of vicious personal attacks - all the while being, you know...not quite white.

He will never be forgiven by the Confederates, Nazis, Klanners, and the rest of the....shall I say it..."deplorables."

It is already too late for the GOP to course correct. For anything.

They are not aware of this; we daily see Republican congressmen surprised by their own powerlessness in the face of the manifestly unfit and unhinged avatar of White Male Privilege. They think they are still in charge; they think they are still driving the train, even while it's been in freefall for at least six months.

Trump could replace his Secret Service detail with Russian FSB agents and the Republicans would do no more than cluck. Trump could empty Fort Knox into his personal bank account and the Republicans would announce a few more resignations.

The only thing that is preserving our democracy at the moment is Trump's stupidity and cowardice. Hitler would have simply had the Democratic congressmen arrested and imprisoned by now, knowing the forces of liberty were too tired and paralyzed to respond.

With luck we will be allowed to have another election. If this one does not result in a complete wipe of Republican power, the next one won't even happen.

Yeah, I was just thinking the requirements may not be as strict. Either that, or they have more practice at telling the relevant court believable-enough lies.

And slavery. Never forget the whole reason the treason was committed was to protect slavery.

I would hope Nixon's record (56*) would be eclipsed.

*Someone did a graph of all presidential administrations since Nixon listing criminal indictments, convictions and prison terms. Nixon won, with Reagan second, iirc.

I thought that was weakened/removed or just doesn't meet. This is a Republican Congress, after all.
