And Now for some Good News Author: BobRDate:04/24/2019 13:22:49
With the release of the Mueller Report, the tRump pResidency enters a new phase. Barr and tRump are claiming it exonerates him, while the facts of the report say otherwise. This - along with tRump's ongoing caustic and erratic behavior has soured the support of Republicans, and breathed new life into the his detractors. With so many aggravating and depressing stories seemingly everywhere, let's focus on some good news:
tRump has a primary challenger: Bill Weld - former MA governor - will be challenging tRump in the primary. Does he have a chance? Not likely, but it will require tRump's campaign and his supporters to divert funds, energy, and focus to ensuring tRump remains the Republican candidate.
Rivals scramble to dig up dirt on Pete Buttigieg: Why is that good news? He's gay - and they don't consider that "dirt". Being a gay presidential candidate is non-controversial. That's pretty amazing.
I thought I heard something this morning about Larry Hogan getting into the GOP primary field too. There's been rumors about him running for Pres for a while now.

There has been a lot of local talk about that around here. I think he' probably more Viable than Weld is, at this point.

What the eff ... he'll head to the Supreme Court if impeached?
Err no sir, actually the Supreme Court will head to YOU.
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present. - US Constitution, Article 1, Section 3, Clause 6

His term as governor is up in 2022, so he'd be sacrificing 2 years of his term to give this a try.

That's been my vein of thought too.

He wants to rule like his buddy Putin except he's dumber than Homer Simpson.
