Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

        No. 2018 will be the craziest year, because Mueller is going to indict a sitting President and the President is going to say that’s not possible.

        1860 to 1865 telegraphed to get their headline back.

        Nearly any election year contains a number of odd and dramatic events that can be strung together to provide a narrative that brands it as the most unusual.

        I'll cast my admittedly prejudiced vote for 1856. No senator was beaten half to death on the chamber floor last year, and there was no civil war in Kansas.
