Now the House may actually try to hold him accountable over clear campaign finance law violations like this.

It will be interesting to know if Mueller called in the Enquirer CEO and Trump friend David Pecker to be deposed about that

Saw her on Bill Maher last week.....nice interview. I never expected Maher to be a fan of hers but he had been trying to get her back on the show for a long time.

What a horror clown Rick Scott is.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement says it is NOT investigating Broward elections chief Brenda Snipes. FDLE spokeswoman says the Department of State has not received any allegations of voter fraud, and that Gov. Rick Scott did not put his request in writing.

R-AZ Jeff Flake is bringing S.2644, the Special Counsel Independence and Integrity Act, to a vote on the Senate floor next week. D-DE Chris Coons has co-authored the bill with Flake.

Also ... Flake, Romney, & 13 other Rs have formed a new anti-Trump coalition. Sounds like 30-40 Rs in the House are planning to join, too. New party maybe? Probably not. We shall see.

So, Trump lost the Senate, too.

It's the Bizarro World version of the House Freedom Caucus to the rescue!

Trump is kind of like a Dark Lord of Ravenloft, where he is given all the power he wants but it ends up making him miserable.

Vlad Drakov of Falkovnia comes to mind, because everything he touches turns failure.

Young Kim, the first Korean immigrant to be elected is a huge deal, too. Wonder why everyone keeps leaving her out?

Because I didn't see that she pulled out the win. They're still counting over there on CA-39.

Fair enough.

There is a possibility that the senate might end up with exactly the same count as before the election. There are 3 Senate seats in dispute, if the Dems win all three then the count will be 49 D+I to 51 R.

His misogyny and racism are much more apparent now that he has a knot in his knickers about how the mid term results aren't to his liking. He doesn't even bother to conceal it. This is one bad tempered, spoiled man-child. His misogyny is more severe to black women and as with black people in general, he clearly believes that they are dumb, stupid or crazy. The list we know about:

Michael Cohen says Trump told him blacks are too stupid to vote for him
Again from Michael Cohen about Apprentice contestent Kwame Jackson: Said that "There’s no way I can let this black f-g win’,
Infers April Ryan is stupid
Infers Abby Phillip is stupid
Called former friend Omarosa a "dog", "low life", and "crazed"





It's getting to the point where we don't know where bottom is anymore. I know it's a long shot but I think the Democrats should look into invoking the 25th amendment and see if any of the GOP would join in. Trump is drunk with power IMO.

Not holding out hope that ANY Republicans would grow spines and invoke the 25th, that just isn’t happening. They’re still too cowardly and too afraid of Trump’s maniacal base which has ZERO problem with his racism and misogyny to go against him.

I don't know if Espy will pull off a flip in a Mississippi runoff, once you take Chris McDaniel out of the equation. I'd love to be wrong.

I think the best case is they get 2 of 3.

Cue the obligatory 3:00 am twitter rant about " that loser Barbra Streisand."
Because that's the kind of thing the President of the United States of America does now.

One more win is good, two more wins is better, ALL THREE IS A BLUE WAVE.
