Good god. There simply is no such thing as "too low" for these creeps. As much as I want to see the old man behind bars - I think it almost might be more satisfying to see junior locked up. He's just a weak, entitled bully.

Yet that crowd is sympathetic to using phrases like white genocide when, I dunno, a movie has a notable number of people of colour in the cast. The chasm between the two things is beyond galling.

There's a fascinating/hilarious parallel between these dumb-ass rich crooks' behaviour with the local idiot who can't help but hold-up the 7-11 and leave his wallet behind. There really aren't that many Prof. Moriarities out there.

These Republicans bending over backwards for the president in this testimony is not going to age well.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Here is what I want to hear:
Republican goon, "You're a lying, liar who lies. What kind of man are you?"
Cohen, "Trump's kind of man!"

Getting the vapours at learning a lawyer lied for his client is quite precious.

EXACTLY!

They keep pushing on Cohen for being a crook - Cohen (or someone) needs to push back on the fact that well, birds of a feather flock together. The fact remains that Trump hired - and trusted - Cohen.

Stephen Lynch sounds like your kind of guy.

GOP members bending over for Trump right now look really awful (in my opinion). It's like they think if they show blind attack dog loyalty that Trump will reward them with his favor, but they don't consider that they might also go down with his sinking ship...

This one may actually add up to something. I'm uncharacteristically optimistic.
