Too liberal for you? George Will, the most conservative writer in the world, yet not fooled by Trump supporters, wrote about Trump: Populism, democracy’s degenerate byproduct, incubates hostility to people possessing specialized knowledge (aka “elites”), but senators can withhold consent from [Trump's] particularly egregious abuses of institutions that are particularly dependent on the perception of competence. The Cain and Moore nominations will be two more tests — of political courage, and of their institutional responsibility — for Senate Republicans to fail. The possible good news is that these two confirmation votes might bring us closer to the day when supine senators grow weary of being embarrassed and embarrassing.

Republicans are growing more and more alarmed about Trump’s increasingly erratic behavior.

267012


GOP senators face an inflection point, as they weigh how hard to try to contain the president.

It’s an unusual time in Trump’s Washington, with a Senate Republican majority that’s been at odds with the president for months now — and with GOP senators increasingly comfortable in trying to ward off what they see as Trump’s worst impulses.

The Trump administration is facing pushback on far weightier issues than personnel.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) fumed on Wednesday after he pressed Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on whether the United States has the authority to go to war with Iran, to which Pompeo replied that he’d “prefer to leave that to the lawyers.”

“He couldn’t give me a very good answer,” Paul said in an interview afterward. “You would think the secretary of State would have an opinion on the Constitution and declaration of war.”

The tensions between Trump and Senate Republicans have raged continuously for four months, an arc that intersects neatly with when Mick Mulvaney took the reins as the president's acting chief of staff and helped goad the president into a shutdown that lawmakers loathed — and then into a national emergency declaration that a dozen Republicans voted down on the Senate floor.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) concerns aren’t isolated to the president’s protectionist strategy. He had to rebut the president’s ruminations on wind turbines causing cancer just last week.

He’s not the only senator embroiled in multiple fights with the administration.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) is pushing back on the sacking of DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, the Secret Service director and Immigration and Customs Enforcement nominee.

“It’s unfortunate to have so many vacancies and so little time for proper transition,” Romney said of DHS. “So it’s a very troubling setting.”

Romney also asserted that he will vote against Cain if he is nominated to the Fed, joining Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) in opposition. The swift anti-Cain blitz might cripple his nomination in the Senate — though Trump could go forward with him, Kobach or Cuccinelli anyway and test his sway with Senate Republicans.

The goal, though, is for Senate Republicans to stop the nominations before they are forced to vote on them.

“It’s just a pragmatic concern,” said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas). “It just saves a lot of potential embarrassment and difficulties if there’s consultation on the front end.”

I see your cartoon hit a sore spot, RUE. Because anyone who criticizes Democrats is (of course) anti-USA. Criticizing Democrats: It must be all Putin's fault! [/snark]

Anyway, I thought this was funny and too true:

Quote:

Russiagaters in 2017: YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT MUELLER KNOWS
Russiagaters in 2018: YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT MUELLER KNOWS
Russiagaters in 2019: Shut up Mueller, what would you know.

which also contains ..


Quote:


Mueller's report will almost certainly disappoint you, and it's not his fault. It's your fault for buying into Trump's false narrative that it is Mueller's' job to prove "collusion," a nearly impossible bar for any prosecutor to clear.

This is, of course, the weakest volley. It’s absurd, patent bad faith, for Russiagaters to pretend that they knew, thought, or suggested the Mueller investigation was irrelevant. It is they who have been insisting that the integrity and super-sleuthiness of the “revered” Robert Mueller himself was the thing that would nail Donald Trump for Russian collusion. To now deny that any of that was important only acknowledges how thoroughly they have been fooling the American people and/or themselves for two years. Either Adam Schiff had the goods on Trump’s traitorous Russian collusion two years ago, in which case he’s got a lot of explaining to do about why he’s been stringing us along with Mueller, or Schiff is just bluffing.



But even Russiagater skeptics fail to mention that the damage has already been done:

Under the guise of protecting us from "Russian influence", conservative and alternate sources are being silenced across the internet, as they have been eliminated and/or isolated from the M$M. As Obama's Rahm Emmanuel once said "Never let a good crisis go to waste", especially when it's a crisis that you have created yourself, one with multiple goals: Throw Trump from office, and/or effect the 2018 elections, and/or distract Trump from achieving his "make nice with Russia" goals, and/or appeal to the base, and/or corral the liberal internet giants into doing your censorship for you. They may have failed to get rid of Trump (so far) but they've succeeded in several other goals.
