Mitt Romney

This morning, Mitt Romney told Jake Tapper on CNN that he doesn't feel the Senate is ready to remove Trump but that Justin Amash was courageous when he called for Trump's impeachment. "I respect him. I think it’s a courageous statement. But I believe that to make a case for obstruction of justice, you just don’t have the elements that are evidenced in this document... The American people just aren’t there. And I think those who are considering impeachment also have to look at the jury, which would be the Senate.

What Would Freud Do? by Nancy OhanianDid anyone ever think a Trump White House wouldn't be the most dysfunctional hell hole in history? Putin sure made the best bet any Russia leader ever made!

Incipient tyrants and fascists always seek to destroy media and the judicial system before their authoritarian assault begins in earnest.

Going into the Utah Republican convention of Saturday, Romney had already qualified for the GOP primary ballot through signatures, Most political insiders were positive he would get the 60% needed to avoid a primary. Not quite. He didn't even come in first!

Putin certainly hates the U.S.-- and, I can tell you from first-hand experience in Moscow and St. Petersburg, brainwashes students in his country to hate America-- but he sure loves his U.S. puppet, Comrade Trumpanzee.

Although Bannon is apparently sidelined from electoral politics and Miss McConnell and the Senate Republicans are trying to persuade Señor Trumpanzee to kiss and make up with Romney [Update: it worked, at least

As far as Orrin Hatch goes-- good riddance to a rotten and Trumpified piece of crap. As far as Romney… any enemy of Trump’s… Look, a Bernie Sanders clone we were never going to get in Utah.

No wonder Señor Trumpanzee prefers Utah Senator Orrin Hatch, first elected to the Senate in 1976, to Mitt Romney.
