I can see them wheeling Mitch McConnell into a room to cast a favorable vote for Todd Blanche and get him across the line. He and Trump don't get along, but Mitch is a blind Republican incapable to vote with his head or heart.

I'm not saying billionaires didn't work to get where they are, but the Democratic process helped make it possible, if they did it right. So, what's so unfair for them to be taxed in accordance of the process that got them there? What's wrong with giving some money back.

When it comes to the confirmation of Todd Blanche, all that need be said is that he told Trump, "I love you sir." You do not "love" your president, you respect him, but make sure he has earned your respect with legal actions.

Yes, Trump continues to invite fools and cons into his administration, but it's the vote of the Republican majority that allowing them to come in. This can only be changed by a major mid-term Blue Wave. God help this nation if the Republican majorities survive.

One day Trump's smugness is going to be shoved down his throat. No politician, celebrity, athlete has exhibited the rude, obnoxious nature that he does without provocation. You don't say and do the things he does and not pay for it in the end.

I can only wonder how Republican lawmakers can continue to support and coddle an addle-minded fool like Trump. Cornyn and Tillis had an opportunity to leave Congress on the high road but chose an embarrassing exit.

Donald Trump, buried deeply in public disapproval polls, keeps badmouthing people and making untrue statements in an afternoon press conference, is simply deflecting or is is 100 percent crazy. Sidenote: Cornyn and Tillis are pathetic.

Musk has announced massive financial support of the GOP, the party has otthers with deep pocket are chipping in. Tot me, it should be a bi-partisan move to limit campaign spending. Look how much more expsure did Trump have to spread his lies in the last election?

Remember when John McCain attempted to establish new rules at campaign finance? Mega-millions of dollars are being spent on politics that would help make this a safer and healthier place for ALL Americans to live. Alas.

No way Donald Trump wasn't involved with Infantino's scheme to make a major prower grab for a multi-billion in international football. He and Infantino are to close not to suspect Trump's involvement using his son-in-law's brother.

I'm surprised that Trump isn't opposing the dropped charges agains former Olympian Hearn. I believe this means an oblique admission Trump made a mistake in selecting a bad contractor, but by not means will an apology follow.
