Mike's Blog Round Up
October 24, 2017

So, sure, there's something to admire about retiring Sens. Corker and Flake (belatedly) coming out against the Orange Moron and speaking the truth about the enormous danger he poses not just to the country but to the world. And I really hope this snowball gets bigger and bigger.

But, look, there's nothing new about the Orange Moron and the danger he poses, and let's not forget that both Corker and Flake (as well as others like McCain) enabled and supported him both in political and policy terms right up until their coming out. And, further, how about not quitting? It's good profile lacking courage, as Charles Pierce writes. If Republicans are serious, they need a better response.

Because right now, it's just words, like tweets into the abyss.

Meanwhile:

The Root: White people think there's anti-white discrimination.

Just an Earth-Bound Misfit, I: Devin Nunes is doing his master's bidding.

Round-up by Michael J.W. Stickings of The Reaction. (Twitter: @mjwstickings.) I'll be here all week.
