Donald Trump Donald Trump Graham: 'I could not disagree more' with Trump support of Afghanistan troop withdrawal GOP believes Democrats handing them winning 2022 campaign Former GOP operative installed as NSA top lawyer resigns MORE has proven to be a loser — and a sore one at that — but he has won something. He managed to transform the GOP into a party in his own image: an outsized, narcissistic cast of mini-me sycophants. Just like the maestro, none of them appears to care about actual governing. They’re building their brand first, then following fame and the money. This has transformed the GOP from a party that once had ideas and credibility into a lame variation on the “Real Housewives” reality TV franchise. Forget the red hats. The real mantra of this new GOP isn’t “America First” — it’s “Me First.” Like the TV “Housewives,” these new Republicans seek attention, fame and fortune, ignoring credibility.  Their success is sometimes short-lived, and often ends … [Read more...] about ‘Real Housewives of the GOP’ — Wannabe reality show narcissists commandeer the party

Whoopi Goldberg said Monday on ABC’s “The View” that Republicans’ criticisms of Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) comments about being confrontational was surprising given what she called former President Donald Trump’s “four years of real race-baiting.” When asked what should happen if the jury does not deliver a guilty verdict in the case of Derek Chauvin, Waters said, “We’ve got to stay active, get more active, more confrontational, make sure that they know we mean business.” Goldberg said, “After four years of real race-baiting, I have to say I’m a little bit surprised that some Republicans would think that people wouldn’t recognize the difference. Joy, does it surprise you that some Republicans are calling to expel Maxine Waters from Congress for that statement?” Co-host Joy Behar said, “No. They’re trying to get off the took for continuing the lie that Trump won the election, thus causing all sorts of problems.

Sen. Joe Manchin Joe Manchin Game of votes — why budget reconciliation isn't the answer Democrats need Why President Biden is all-in in infrastructure Senators in the dark on parliamentarian's decision MORE (D-W.Va.) on Monday threw his support behind the PRO Act, union-backed legislation to promote labor organizing. The PRO Act would block "right-to-work" laws, which allow people who benefit from union representation to opt out of membership and paying dues, and impose tougher restrictions on companies seeking to prevent unionization efforts. It passed in the House last month in a narrow, party-line vote of 225-206, with just five GOP members supporting it and one Democrat voting against. ADVERTISEMENT Machin's support is significant because he is a centrist whose vote is key in a Senate evenly divided with 50 Democrats and 50 Republicans. But his support doesn't ensure the measure will be law given that a handful of other Democrats have yet to voice … [Read more...] about Manchin throws support behind union-backed PRO Act
