So much for getting over the 2016 election and “moving on” I suppose. A recent poll completed by Scott Rasmussen has found that a perhaps surprising number of Democrats really have bought into their own press about the President. A solid majority of them (57%) say that they believe Donald Trump is guilty of treason.
(Joe Skipper/Reuters) Once taboo, the word has become an unfortunate national habit in need of breaking. One of my favorite 1960s anecdotes comes from legendary broadcaster Larry King, who tells of attending his first roast at New York City’s Friars Club.

Jeremy Corbyn (Andrew Yates/Reuters) Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday expressed outrage at British Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn’s support of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro’s regime. “It is disgusting to see leaders, in not only the United Kingdom, but the United States as well, who continue to support the murderous dictator Maduro,” Pompeo said at a
Robert Mueller on Capitol Hill in 2012. (Yuri Gripas/Reuters) If anyone not named Donald J. Trump were subjected to this new prosecutorial standard, it would occasion widespread consternation.

What’s the difference between the $2 trillion “infrastructure” plan that Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and President Donald Trump have reportedly agreed to and then-President Barack Obama’s so-called economic “stimulus”? Apart from the fact that the Schumer-Trump proposal is double the Obama price tag, the answer is: very little. Economist Milton Friedman famously said there are
Richard Neal may well be right, but it won’t be as easy as he might think.

As theories go, this is certainly one of them. Was today’s assertion of executive privilege by Donald Trump a strategy to prevent Robert Mueller from appearing before House Judiciary Committee? Chair Jerrold Nadler thinks Trump “will try to stop Robert Mueller,” and says that Trump has “broken the law six ways from Sunday.” “Robert Mueller
Heidi Schreck in What the Constitution Means to Me (Joan Marcus) A Broadway show presents legal analysis crude enough to dazzle progressives. We’ll stipulate that should the end of the American experiment as defined by its current Constitution be imminent, it will probably not be habitués of Broadway theater who do the overthrowing.

It really is Donald Trump’s party now. Three years ago, traditional Republican donors kept Trump at arm’s distance, or in many cases further than that.
