Excerpts: "We’ll start with the GOP-led House... Impeachment insanity is their specialty. Knowing there is widespread skepticism about Biden impeachment efforts, they set their sights on Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas...They lost by a single vote...recently expelled George Santos (speaking of embarrassment), whose vote would have been decisive, tweeted “Miss me?”
"Embarrassment is not the sole province of the Republicans (though they have a more-than-healthy market share). Consider Fani Willis. A judge is now determining whether to disqualify her because of her relationship with the prosecutor that she hired...
"Hur’s overreaching opinion was an embarrassment to the DOJ and to prosecutors in general...
"In the wake of the death of Russian dissident Alexei Navalny, Trump had the utter gall to compare himself to Navalny, a man who voluntarily put his life at risk by returning to Russia to protest Putin after nearly dying from being poisoned by the same. Trump used a fake bone spur diagnosis to get out of serving in Vietnam, and he is being prosecuted, not persecuted, for crimes he actually committed, not for being an enemy of the state...
"The court also decided to hear the immunity case, a waste of time, since they will surely uphold the Appeals Court, but, of course, it is the delay Trump wanted, not the verdict, which he knows is unwinnable...
"Speaking of supreme courts, the one in Alabama ruled that frozen embryos are children, which led to yet another disastrous post-Dobbs turn for the GOP...
"Two presidential candidates found themselves at least somewhat embarrassed by opponents who were not even human beings...
All of this actually happened. In February alone! It is simply embarrassing beyond belief.
