Earlier I mentioned that the House subpoena for Mick Mulvaney is for this Friday. He won't show up. Who really cares though-- especially because something much more relevant is absolutely showing up on that day: the first solo album, Born In The Bronx, by Handsome Dick Manitoba, formerly lead singer of the legendary Dictators.
The visceral hatred most people I know have for Trump sometime drives them crazy. I'm not joking. People I would have never expected it from wish him dead. They wish his family dead. The reactions shock me-- and I'm the one who's supposed to be the furthest left! Almost all of them are so infuriated by Trump that they're actually willing to entertain helping elect the worst possible Democratic alternative, Status Quo Joe Biden.
Everybody likes inoffensive, friendly, old Tom Petri, right? He's the 4th most senior Republican in the House-- having beaten Tommy Thompson for an open GOP seat back in 1979. His central Wisconsin district is a swing district that leans red. Obama eked out the narrowest of victories there in 2008 and lost to Romney in 2012.
