Mitch McConnell Dislikes Puerto Rico As Much As Trump
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday took procedural steps to block further amendments to a massive disaster aid bill, a move sure to anger Democrats.

Barbara Bush blamed Trump for 'heart attack': book


Barbara Bush blamed Trump for 'heart attack': book
Barbara Bush blamed President Trump for what she called her “heart attack” in 2016, according to an excerpt from an upcoming book on the former first lady, "The Matriarch."



Guess who George H. W. Bush, his wife, Attorney General William Barr and Trump admired? Nixon. They all thought he got screwed. Forget the ghost of Barbara Bush seeking revenge on Trump, it's Nixon's ghost who is still haunting us all with his revenge.

There's no dispute that Russia influenced an election where the biggest popular vote loser in 140 years won. There's no dispute that Trump lied about his and campaign's dealings with the Russians as this was happening. The only dispute is whether they should get away with it. - LOLGOP
