Richard Cohen, Iraq War booster and all around racist weasel, has a dire warning for America: Don't impeach Trump or his supporters will be super duper extra angry. I wish I was kidding. How would Trump’s hardcore supporters react to the removal of their president for a high ...read more
"Emoluments" is not a word often used daily speech. It simply means a "salary", "fee", or "profit" from employment or office. Our Founding Fathers were so concerned about emoluments from foreign governments creating a conflict of interest, they wrote the Emoluments Clause into ...read more
The blocking of Judge Merrick Garland's nomination to the Supreme Court was a calculated risk on the part of Republicans. He's an eminently centrist pick who raised no real objections among Republicans other than "He's not a radical right wing extremist." But the gamble seems to ...read more
You can throw another shrimp on the barbie, and by "shrimp" I mean Republican, and by barbie, I mean the cordwood stack of rabid impeachment-mongers that Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) says are made up of all Democrats. The Speaker of the House isn't the only delusional ...read more
You might remember Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) from his starring role in our Impeachment Supercut last week, but the anti-immigrant calf fetishist went all Electric Boogaloo this weekend, once again threatening to impeach President Obama over the possibility of executive action on ...read more
One of the most admirable things about the GOP used to be their messaging ability. Even if you disagreed with their policy positions the capability to disseminate talking points was a thing of beauty. They framed the discussion, and you found yourself on defense the whole way. ...read more

Sure, it's too easy and almost unfair to pick on this nincompoop but, heaven help us, it's so much fun. Today, Palin published an article at Breitbart.com in which she calls for the impeachment of President Obama. And, yes, it's a word salad loaded with incoherent, awkward ...read more
I've always said that if Al Gore or Barack Obama, for that matter, had been president on 9/11, they would've been impeached within a year. It's just how the modern Republican opposition functions. No good deed goes unpunished. Rescue the economy from a second Great Depression? ...read more
Ladies and gentlemen, I submit that Barack Hussein Obama’s unilateral negotiations with terrorists and the ensuing release of their key leadership without consult — mandated by law — with the U.S. Congress represents high crimes and misdemeanors, an impeachable offense. - Allen ...read more
Here's what you may as well read today instead of bemoaning the fact that you're back at work for another crappy week: 1. There's No "I" in Team Yes, it's probably just a lot of nonsense saber-rattling cynically aimed at endearing themselves to the idiots in the base, but ...read more
