Death Of The GOP? Bring It On!

*Covering Up The Cover Up by Nancy Ohanian* Devin Nunes, a Central Valley Trumpist goon, is the ranking Republican on the House Intel Committee. One of his staffers, Derek Harvey, has been leaking the whistleblower's name. That's illegal. But Harvey hasn't been arrested and Nunes hasn't fired him. Mark Zaid, one of the whistleblower’s attorneys: "Exposing the identity of the whistleblower and attacking our client would do nothing to undercut the validity of the complaint’s allegations. What it would do, however, is put that individual and their family at risk of harm. Perhaps more i... more »

Samira Ahmed and the Beeb babes think they should get as much pay as Jeremy Vine. (I wonder how much Victoria Derbyshire gets? Oh look, it's £200,000-£249,999. ) Jeremy Vine’s wages are totally bizarre.

Why has the BBC reignited Ken Loach? He peaked in 1966 with Cathy Come Home. Please just let the hard-left misery-monger lie.

Enough, one might have thought. But no.

If you've read the proposed "impeachment inquiry resolution" offered in Congress, you'll understand just how profound is the contempt of the current majority there for the Constitution and laws of the United States. They're using those laws as levers to *undermine* the Constitution on which they're based, and they have no problem with treating Congress as a partisan political fulcrum with which to try to lever a legitimately elected President out of office.
