I wouldn’t say Boris knows exactly what he’s doing. Yes he is aware of his malicious intentions and isn’t just meandering aimlessly based on what is in front of him in the present moment, but the crucial fact remains that he is in wayyyy over his head.

The difference between Boris and Trump is that Boris knows exactly what he’s doing.

Well, NOW I don’t want that cup of tea, but... thanks, Boris?

His supporters clearly have no idea what a coup even is.

They would feel the same if we won a legal and above-the-board election.  Their brains have been eaten by the Cult of Trump, such that if Trump fails, it must be a conspiracy against him.  He broke our politics and brainwashed his deplorables, such that a peaceful transition of power was NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN ANYWAY.

They’re going to call it a coup if he loses in 2020. They’ve already convinced themselves everyone outside the media supports him and thus he can’t lose without massive voter fraud.

Lewis cited being “deeply concerned about the future of our democracy”

Boris Johnson doesn’t care if his prorogation was unlawful, it was simply a means of avoiding debate and killing time before the UK goes over the no-deal Brexit cliff.

She apparently thought the Mueller investigation would either result in a clear enough case for impeachment that it would dramatically shift public opinion, or that it wouldn’t and then the issue would…

SoCo tells BoJo his plan is a NoGo.

Whataboutism out of thin air, conservatives live in fantasy worlds because reality is complicated and scary.

Okay, but this all requires you to believe that Trump is a corrupt fraud who is completely unable or unwilling to put the interests of the country ahead of his own political interests. That seems really out of character for Trump!

Also in the Washington Post this morning is a discussion of how Congress should go about dealing with these recalcitrant Executive office lackeys who are continually flaunting the rule of law. The latest idea is the seldom used rule of “Inherent Contempt” in which Congress locks these people up in a jail of Congress’…

She is almost as reviled by them as a school shooting survivor.

If we’re lucky we might get a sarcastic clap from her too

Pelosi might wag a finger.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. A gajillion times yes.
