    I’ve never seen a more insufferable & pathetic group of Senators than those in the GOP. They’ve chosen to strap themselves to a corrupt con man they KNOW is guilty. They’re all cowards. None of them belong in the Senate. They should go home and grow a backbone!

    I just changed, online, my party affiliation to Democrat, having been registered as a Republican since March 1980. LONG OVERDUE. Fuck the ! Any party that can support the most morally and criminally corrupt president ever is not one I will ever support again. LONG OVERDUE.

    It's never going to get better, . You can't acquit his crimes. You can only cover up for them. And every week, every day, your cover up will become more obvious, more outrageous as more people talk to save themselves. And our rage will only grow.

    I read 's previous book "Peripheral" 3 times, because it's just that good. His new release, "Agency" is even better, because it builds from that strong foundation, and takes it further.

    Here are my takeaways: Trump’s lawyers cannot, and did not, defend him on the facts. Their defense has evolved to this: he did it, so what? His lawyers strengthened our case that the Senate must hear from Bolton. A fair trial requires key witnesses. Will America have one?
