We’ll have to count on the folks doing the real work in each department. They will be called in to do all the briefings once the swamp drains itself at last.
Will this be the year Republican voters come to grips with their own party?

This is pretty hilarious unless you work for Trump, in which case you just found out for sure that loyalty is a one way street. His 30-year-old chief of personnel is contemplating asking almost all of the President's political appointees to submit a provisional letter of resignation by two days before the election.
The usual approach for a second term, when assured there will be one, is to ask for letters as desired during the runup to a second inauguration.

Trump personnel office weighs asking appointees to offer their resignations
The potential plan is angering officials who fear it will cause chaos in their personal lives as they plot their next moves.

Some Republican elected officials aren't even trying to hide their acceptance that Trump's going to take a thumpin' in the election.

Seriously, "going forward" to use one of those awful constellations of corporate weasel words (my mother used to describe the term "at this point in time" - an expression she detested - as as an example of self-important, pompous (male) speech, invariably adding "what's wrong with using 'now' instead"?), but, anyway, "going forward", or, in the near, or far, or indeterminate, future, does anyone really, seriously, truly, think that having served in this administration, or having that on your CV, or resumé, is something that will look good, or accrue to their advantage, or render them somehow even more employable, at anytime in the future?

Time for Republican campaign donors to come to grips with what happens when you donate to a bunch of grifters.

The more money flushed down the toilet by Republican donors, the better.

Seeing that news might tend to dry up any untapped GOP-leaning wellsprings, ya think?

Just read this morning his debt is coming due. Seriously. What is happening is beyond unprecedented.

Well the voters of the state of Georgia, with the help of pretty near infinite patience, may be sending their summary view of the Trump administration into the ballot boxes starting today. Check out the line in Suwanee, GA, as early voting begins.

Possibly it's the year some Florida BOATERS have flipped the switch...

Early voting starts tomorrow in Kentucky. Tonight Mitch McConnell and Dem challenger Amy McGrath debated on live TV from Lexington in a studio, socially distanced about 20 feet from each other and the moderator.
Mitch practically created a last minute ad for Amy, several times asserting "She says she's a Marine and a mom and that I've been in Washington too long." (Sounds good to me, too bad I can't vote for her.)
McConnell spent a lot of time telling voters of Kentucky that they need him to remain the Senate's Majority Leader. He ended up sounding like he's only in it for the power trip in DC... kept talking about how if you vote for McGrath you hand Kentucky's extra clout that he has as majority leader over to Chuck Schumer in NYC.
McGrath focused on a lot of stuff that McConnell's never gotten around to back in his constituency, and countered that what Kentucky really needs is a Senator for Kentucky.

I fucking despise #MoscowMitch more than probably any other Republican in politics. And that says a lot, considering the rich assortment of assholes of every flavor on the roster.

He's usually at the top of my list too but Lindsey Graham has moved into that spot for me. I disagreed with John McCain on most positions but he at least stuck to them, Lindsey showed such blatant and open hypocrisy with this SCOTUS in an election year debacle that I can't even look at him without yelling at the TV. Next to Trump he's the king asshole.
Not sure “hypocrisy“ is a strong enough word. He’s obviously compromised somehow, IMO. Someone has his balls in their hand and squeezes as needed. He strikes me as a suicide risk.

I think it's just who he is, a slimy snake oil salesman would sell his own mother if it meant getting one up on the libs, selling out all of his personal principles. To me this is the worst kind of person no matter what party they're in.
