Remember back in the halcyon days of 2019 when the Democrats impeached then-President Donald Trump over the dubious claim he offered the president of Ukraine a quid pro quo in which military funding would be exchanged for an investigation of Hunter Biden’s time with Burisma?

If that whole kerfuffle feels like it took place two decades ago, it’s probably because a) it was a (pardon the pun) trumped-up excuse for an impeachment and b) Joe Biden seems to have mentally aged two decades in just two years. Oh, and that pandemic thing, too. That might have had something to do with it.

Mike Dunleavy, something that usually wouldn’t make news anywhere in the lower 48. However, it comes with a very big string attached: If Dunleavy backs incumbent GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski in her 2022 re-election bid, that endorsement goes away posthaste.

It’s a great out for Dunlevy to not endorse Murcowski. He will get a lot of pressure from her daddy’s group but Trump has given him a way out.

Excellent, Trump gives Would Be Flip-Flopping "Republicans" a choice:

RINO Treason or Patriotic Loyalty,

Choose Wisely.

Trump has his faults to be sure.
But he sure knows how to leverage his position. He is not finished. Not even near finished.
