Lots of terrific updates today. It certainly doesn’t read like a typical August day on Capitol Hill. And here I bet Mr. Dupree thought after the weekend long Senate vote, he might squeeze in some golf this week.

Btw, “Title Gate” is a brilliant example of just how petty lawmakers can be — on both sides of the aisle. It often feels like we have nap-deprived toddlers representing us.

The title thing. We are ruled by children.

Yes, you learn pretty quick that members of Congress can act like children, frat boys, or Karens at the drop of a hat. They are just like everyone else.

Yes, but I'd argue over the past few years we've seen more children in Congress. I used to respect most folks there but no longer.

Great Paul Harvey reference. Another KRMG staple from back in the day!

I missed it and had to go find it. The penny dropped when I came across it only because I had the clue.

On impulse I checked You Tube and there is a huge trove of clips from the Paul Harvey Archives uploaded in the last few weeks.

Exactly. That Cheney poll floored me. Thirty points?? Wyoming voters are poised to throw Liz FREAKING Cheney out of Congress all because she upheld her oath of office and is investigating an attempted overturning of a US election by a would-be dictator.

I'm now imagining what the 2024 GOP presidential candidate debates would look like with Liz Cheney and Donald Trump. If nothing else, the 2016 election taught me nothing is unimaginable.

I am conservative and used to be a Republican. The GOP has lost it's principles.
