Its all weve heard for the past four years, and if the pandemic has done an iota of good, its to have wrested some of the news agenda off the United States lunatic ex-president. Sure, he had some time in the sun whining about how Joe Biden got more votes than him – thats democracy, baby – but hopefully soon we will see and hear a ...

Their districts in rural areas, in suburban areas. this issue is actually very much at the top of their mind. not so much as to what did the president do with the russians. theyre going to let bob mueller figure that out, but what is the president doing to the rule of law and to our democracy and who is willing to stand up to him as he is a wrecking ball. i think the republicans are going to pay a price this november and i hope those that have been fearful of doing the right thing because they d...
