Dems made quick work of the House Republican impeachment circus, striking the tents in an afternoon. Ted Cruz had time to make an ass of himself, but that’s an everyday thing. Good work, Senate Dems! It was considerate of Republicans to deliver charges today, when Trump’s trial in New York is NOT in session. Now …
Serpentine Rick Scott Slithers Back on Previous Support for Florida’s Abortion Ban
Invasive Midwestern Python Rick Scott, former Florida governor and current U.S. senator, has an A+ rating from the forced-birth extremists at SBA Pro-Life America. But he’s the latest craven GOP worm to trample pwecious “unborn babies” in a walk-back to protect his political career. Let’s review the tape: Here’s what Scott said in a June …
