The same old Susan Collins charade. As soon as a controversial nominee or a bill has enough votes to pass, she announces she will vote no when it doesn’t matter. She never casts a deciding vote against Trump. Now she will claim this shows how she is so “independent.”

It certainly does. But, at this point, so does Nixon and Watergate — which absolutely blows my mind to say. The only thing standing in the way of a successful impeachment and removal of Trump — now — is some real integrity and courage from several handfuls of Republicans in Congress. Seen any ?

I’m old enough to remember when lying about adultery was worthy of impeachment. Feels quaint at this point.

What King Trump is saying is obvious. The slush fund & especially the immunity are far more important to him than Blanche is. And anyway, Blanche can stay in the job more or less indefinitely as acting A.G. The slush fund and immunity grant sure look like count number one in an impeachment.

We Now Have the Leading Charge in Trump’s Next Impeachment

Why is the president willing to withdraw Todd Blanche’s nomination? The answer constitutes a blatant high crime and misdemeanor.
