  • How Do We Prevent Trump Loving Republicans From Reinventing Themselves?

    Thom plus logo Republicans are starting to behave as if they have figured out that Donald Trump is an incompetent, malicious, lying, white supremacist, dictator-loving racist whose stupidity and spite have led to the death of over 100,000 Americans, a number that will hit a quarter million by the time of the election.

    Fact is, they've known this all along. They were shouting it during the primary back in 2016.

    Thom plus logo It appears there is at least one branch of the federal government that Donald Trump has been unable to corrupt. So far.

    He put loyal toadies who would lie and cheat for him over at the Department of Justice with William Barr, at EPA and Interior with a couple of fossil fuel lobbyists, at the FCC with a Verizon lawyer, at the Department of Education with a billionaire hack who hates public schools, and he even a former defense lobbyist in charge of the Pentagon.

    Thom plus logo Impeaching Attorney General Bill Barr won't just protect us from a corrupt senior law-enforcement official; it will also strengthen our protection against the dangerous, autocratic tendencies of Donald Trump.

    Trump famously asked once, "Where is my Roy Cohn?" He has found that person, that corrupt lawyer, in William Barr.

    Republicans have a bizarre notion of what that word means.

    As President Franklin D. Roosevelt pointed out in 1933, "a necessitous men is not a free man."
