As much as I dislike her father, myself and other Alaskan liberals appreciate how she represents Alaskan interests. Expect her to keep getting reelectes.

My favorite, which inconsequential, was pushing back on renaming Denali.

Edit: referring to Murkowski. Gardner blows donkey balls.

I've been quietly impressed with Murkowski. She makes me rethink whether or not the entire party is a festering wound of evil rot.

Uh oh.

And I hear the Senate and House have both agreed on a bill that President Trump will not sign because it doesn't include $5b for a wall, which is now not going to be made of concrete but by slatted steel slits, sort of like...

some kind of fence?

This is starting to come off the rails for the Cheeto in Chief.

Last year, Senator Corker of Tennessee, a Republican, commented that "Secretary [of State Rex] Tillerson, Secretary [of Defense James] Mattis, and Chief of Staff [John] Kelly are those people that help separate our country from chaos".

Tillerson quit in March. John Kelly's departure was announced earlier this month. Mattis is the last to go.

God help us all.

Which side do you think Senator Corker is going to land on now?

Well, he's retiring this year, so he's now free to say things like this.

Oh. So he's one of the spineless who wants to have a McCain or HW Bush funeral with a legacy of "I was one of the nice ones."
