Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Apocalyptic Thursday

What a year this week has been.  The non-stop puke funnel of Trumpistan reaches a fever pitch today.  Rod Rosenstein goes to the White House to try and preserve even a meager commitment to the rule of law.  If Trump fires him, the Mueller Investigation falls under the eye of a Trump lackey.  Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, the Republicans have outsourced their questioning of Kavanaugh and Ford to a prosecutor who used to work with Joe Arpaio. 

Best case scenario has Rosenstein flattering Trump into letting him stay on the job and Kavanaugh stepping on his own stories in a way that conclusively proves what we already know: He's a liar.  Alternatively, Rosenstein fires (or worse yet, quits) and the GOP unites around Bart O'Kavanaugh. 

That's where we are.  That's what we've done to our Republic.

Thanks, Republicans.
