You can't 'unknow' something like this, right?Monday, on Maine public Radio’s Morning Edition, Susan Collins used her experience from the Clinton impeachment trial to urge Moscow Mitch and Little Chucky Schmucky to play nice. “I think that the model and the precedent established by the trial for President Clinton is one that our leaders should take a hard look at.
Buzz on Capitol Hill is that Mark Meadows may give up his safe House seat for a year-- if he lasts a year-- as Trump's chief of staff.
Barr, Pompeo, Trump And Pence-- Where's Mulvaney?As the GOP was deciding to put Ohio neo-fascist Gym Jordan on the Intel Committee to disrupt the impeachment inquiry, the Ttrumpist defense was dealt another deadly blow as Gordon Sondland "revised" the testimony he gave last month and now admits Trump was guilt of instituting a quid pro quo in the Ukraine case.
by NoahOn Thursday October 17th, White House Chief Of Staff Mick Mulvaney went on live national TV and self-immolated faster than some poor suicidal Saigon monk soaked in kerosine. Mulvaney didn't just display the out of control arrogance that got him his job; he confessed about Ukraine for the president and turned himself into the proverbial smoking gun.
Chris Wallace-- not on Comcast-TV, but on Fox-TV-- gave Mick Mulvaney enough rope to hang himself. And he did, painfully, excruciatingly. Watch the video above; Mulvaney struggled to de-infuriate Trump by trying, weakly, to walk back his quid pro quo statement about the Democrats' biggest major impeachment weapon.

by NoahGen. John Kelly is gone. Trump's former Chief of Staff, a man of such low character that only the character of Trump himself could make his look better by comparison, had finally had enough. Working with the criminally insane has to be one of the most stressful jobs imaginable and as bad as he is, and was, who knows what horrors Kelly might have managed to derail. Imagine how bad an act has to be for someone like Kelly to disapprove of it.Mick Mulvaney is the new White House Chief Of Staff, make that Acting Chief Of Staff.
I spent the last few days in lovely Burlington, Vermont… at Berniepalooza. It was very inspiring, very forward-looking of course-- with speakers like Stephanie Kelton, Cornel West, Bill de Blasio, Abdul El-Sayed, Ben Jealous, Susan Sarandon, John Cusack, Bill McKibben… talking about the progressive vision for America and the world.ALEC (the American Legislative Exchange Council) had a conference too. It was the exact opposite-- how to abolish Social Security and Medicare kind of thing. Nancy Altman covered it for Common Dreams.
