Our nation is in a free fall. But sure, let's talk about Hillary's emails again. Dana Milbank

But Cornyn was not to be disturbed from his time warp. He went on about Comey’s conduct, Loretta Lynch’s tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton, and Rod Rosenstein’s memo justifying Comey’s firing. “Director Comey was out of control,” the senator concluded.

In reality, Yates testified that President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden “did not in any way attempt to direct or influence any kind of investigation” and she repeatedly asserted that a genuine “counterintelligence threat,” not politics, was behind the Trump-Russia investigation.

Not that it mattered. “What I want to let the American people know,” Graham said after three hours of questioning Yates, “is I don’t buy for a minute that there were only two people at the FBI who knew the dossier was garbage.”

The nation, because of a worst-in-the-world pandemic response, is on the cusp of depression — and that’s what Graham wants Americans to know?

God help us.

a big mistake. I'm thinking maybe McCain tipped Lindsey on damaging personal info.

generations will need to pay by the use of distraction.

They are too stupid to recognize that it may not work this time, and hate America too much to understand that there are people who love it and want to save it.

Expect no better from them.

Of course, it did happen in the seventies, but it's still just as relevant, right?

Did anyone read it?

I almost dropped my sox when I first heard about it, and then I read it.*

He was the first President I ever voted for, and here he was telling everyone he sometimes had impure thoughts.

OMFG!!!

I still love the man. He was the first President who always told the truth, except maybe about UFOs, but he was the only one to have ever reported one.

In my opinion anyway, which I'm constantly being told is ALWAYS wrong, wrong, wrong.

(It's true, though, I am freakishly wrong a lot!)
