How will ever explain to the future that it's 5 pm on the last Friday of Trump's presidency, and he is in the White House meeting with the MyPillow guy to discuss martial law while an actual army is deployed to the capital Green Zone to protect against Trump's violent supporters?

Perhaps worth recalling that it was Mick Mulvaney who set up the infamous July 25, 2019, phone call between Trump and President Zelensky -- because John Bolton, the national security adviser, wouldn't touch 'whatever drug deal' Mulvaney & co. were cooking up...

To my money, best question so far comes from GOP Sens Collins and Murkowski: Before Joe Biden started running for President, did Trump ever raise the issue of corruption and Biden to Ukraine's previous president or others?

Folks, get used to this clip of a young Lindsey Graham preaching presidential removal. You are going to see this one a lot.

I don't want to alarm anyone but the President is now reading off "poll" after "poll" at his campaign rally to prove he won the debates in 2016. He is also complaining about Brad Pitt and that a South Korean movie won the Oscars and that he didn't win Time Man of the Year.

Still cannot believe this is the White House press secretary saying this. Been a professional journalist since 1990. Aside from DC the only other place I have lived is Russia, which is where the ‘enemy of the people’ phrase comes from. It doesn’t belong in the USA.

Spoiler alert: Germany is not ‘delinquent’. There is no ‘fee.’ And he’s moving the troops to other European countries that also do not spend 2 percent of gdp on defense (a threshold they have until 2024 to meet).
Germany pays Russia billions of dollars a year for Energy, and we are supposed to protect Germany from Russia. What’s that all about? Also, Germany is very delinquent in their 2% fee to NATO. We are therefore moving some troops out of Germany!
