Just once I'd like the President and his Cabinet to be concerned more about Main Street than Wall Street as it pertains to the overall economy.

Also, what is the new record? It was higher last week. He's doing the thing where when it crosses a big number (in this case, Dow crossing 28K) he says it's a record even when it already crossed that before.

This is exactly what every American should be worried about. Alas, Sic and Lindsey Graham are only worried about email servers and the Ukraine.

They're not even worried about them. They just provide a convenient excuse to not hold this president accountable for his wrongdoing.

Didn't he already pardon Turkey for killing all of those Kurds?

Sure.

“ Energy Secretary Rick Perry believes that President Trump was chosen by God to lead the country — and he handed the president a one-page description of morally flawed biblical kings as inspiration, he said.”

Sarah Huckleberry Sanders: I hate being called a liar.

Also Sarah Huckleberry Sanders: Donald Trump reads more than anyone I know.

Knowing who she is, and whose loins she sprang from, it's possible she doesn't know anyone who reads.

This really degrades my overall impression of religion in society. Which is sad, because I am not anti-religion.

Final, final Republican defense strategy for Trump: Don the tinfoil, join the conspiracy


But as Graham knows, it doesn't actually matter what the documents show. The only thing that matters is getting the words "Burisma" and "Biden" into headlines. That comports with what impeachment testimony showed Trump wanted from Zelensky, which wasn't so much an actual investigation into Biden (which would have turned up nothing), but the announcement of such an investigation. The purpose was, and is to give low-information voters some buzzy headlines that help create the illusion that there is something to these Biden-Burisma conspiracy theories.

This is part of a larger tactic of Republicans to defend Trump by giving him exactly what the Ukrainian leadership narrowly evaded giving him. As anyone who watched last week's impeachment hearings knows, House Intelligence ranking member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., along with other Republicans on the committee, have spent most of their time asking nonsense questions — questions that often confuse the witnesses, because they have nothing to do with the matters at hand, but are loaded with buzzwords that reference the very conspiracy theories Trump was trying to force Zelensky to support.

Over the weekend, it was reported that the White House hosted a meeting with Republican senators — including Graham, Mike Lee of Utah, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Ted Cruz of Texas, Tom Cotton of Arkansas and John Kennedy of Louisiana — literally so they could literally work with Trump on strategy for an impending impeachment trial.

Hilariously, many Republican senators, when asked about impeachment, have avoided comment by making claims that they need to remain impartial because they will serve as jurors for such a trial. But these models of impartiality think nothing of working with the defendant on a strategy to justify the predetermined outcome.

The favor-buying is right out in the open. As the Washington Post has put it, Trump is using Camp David, a taxpayer-funded presidential retreat, as what a "playground" for Republican congressmen to. Using your money and mine, Trump is treating these supposed representatives of the people to a luxury vacation, and then leaning on them to help him escape accountability for his criminal behavior.

This goes beyond Trump's previously reported antics of using fundraising support to manipulate Republicans into supporting him. This is the spectacle of numerous elected Republicans choosing, with no apparent concern for optics, to conspire with Trump to thwart justice.

Trump is often treated like an outlier, a man who is violating all the norms and laws and customs that supposedly defined Capitol Hill. That belief doesn't square with the fact that, at this point, pretty much every elected Republican in D.C., along with their entire staffs, isn't just tolerating Trump's Ukraine conspiracy but is actively participating in it. This is leading to a surreal situation where the very institutions that are supposed to work as a check on Trump's crime and corruption are, in fact, thick with co-conspirators. In the case of the Senate, it's fair to say that the institution is run by the president's co-conspirators.

In the face of that, it is impossible for anything resembling justice to happen. The only question now is whether the American public will see this and understand it, or whether the truth — that one of our two major political parties is in on the crimes — is too big and ugly to accept.
