Odds and Ends Tuesday

Unbelievable as this may sound, a Bagger could lose her seat in the House because she isn't conservative enough.  I had no idea there was anything right of a Bagger, but apparently there is.

In other news, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) had this to say yesterday about Trump's recent overt racism:

“This is the most un-American thing from a politician since Joe McCarthy. If anybody was looking for an off-ramp, this is probably it. There’ll come a time when the love of country will trump hatred of Hillary.”

And this is not good:

Florida’s attorney general personally solicited a [$25,000] political contribution from Donald Trump around the same time her office deliberated joining an investigation of alleged fraud at Trump University and its affiliates.  ***

The money came from a Trump family foundation in apparent violation of rules surrounding political activities by charities. A political group backing Bondi’s re-election, called And Justice for All, reported receiving the check Sept. 17, 2013 — four days after Bondi’s office publicly announced she was considering joining a New York state probe of Trump University’s activities, according to a 2013 report in the Orlando Sentinel.

After the check came in, Bondi’s office nixed suing Trump, citing insufficient grounds to proceed.

More on the Trump U Bribery Scandal here. I don't know about all you all, but it is finally nice to have a real scandal for a change. Seven-and-a-half years of fake scandals is more than enough for me.

And finally, I am starting to get the impression that Paul Ryan is beginning to regret his endorsement of Trump last week.  After all, he waited a long time before doing so; and right when he finally got around to endorsing him, Trump started his big racism push.  Hilarious.
