She has publicly outed herself as a fringe lunatic liberal. I am sick of this. I don’t think I’m alone.

Selective judicial harassment.

Is that legal?

The people who elected Trump know the game and did not care.

Yes. Recall Susan Collins. Seriously.

Collins is leaving the Senate to run for governor of ME in 2018; people there adore her, but won’t say why.

Time for a "memo circulating at the GAO" leak suggesting an IRS audit of all fed employees, elected and appointed. Any found with inquiries pending with the IRS will be suspended without pay if appointed and referred to the GAO if elected.
