A great piece. I can’t recall a time in America’s history where Congress has not jealously guarded its prerogatives with extreme jealousy. He’s a just another suck up in Trump’s clown parade.

Even in the annals of sycophantic MoCs he stands out.

Thank you for this! Thorough. Eviscerating. I do wonder at the strange mental processes that allow these "men" to look themselves in the mirror.

The thing I try to keep in mind is that many people on the right saw Obama and his supporters the same way. I’m not saying they’re equivalent; but i know a big segment of the population looked at Dems in the Obama years and wondered how we looked ourselves in the mirror.

Excellent piece. I don't know how you remain so level headed. I bounce around between heartbreak, terror and rage. So disappointed to see that Kaine and Warner voted for Trump's candidate for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs. I thought they were finally understanding what is at stake. The fight continues.

I remain level-headed by writing! The chief reason I do this is because my wife couldn’t stand my rants anymore.
