and Im tired... I can't imagine how she feels after this day!

...in my first job 47 years ago, I asked my boss if I could go to another department.

He said not, 'you're doing too good a job for me".

That's the thing with Cummings - if he goes to the Senate, he'll lose all his seniority in the House. But he deserves to be a Senator.

I'd like him to stay in the House a bit longer. In 2016, we've already got two good Dems (Donna Edwards & Chris Van Hollen) running for Barbara Mikulski's seat.

My preference would be for Elijah to go after Ben Cardin's seat in 2018. Cardin really needs to go.

I am glad he did so because this 11+hr inquiry is ridiculous.


I didn't see it coming but Hilary may have earned my vote today.

Rogan was an impeachment manager along with Bob Barr, Lindsay Graham and a host of GOP creeps. Rogan's district turned on him for going after Clinton, a popular president.
