As the armada appears in waters nowhere near where it was said to be, Trump blusters on in his usual dignified, courtly manner. Easter weekend had us worried about nuclear strikes; DT put a fair bit of work into his golf swing. Business as usual! Carry on, everyone!

Jason Chaffetz won't seek re-election in 2018. Good news, but also concerning as he has even less incentive to DO HIS JOB on #TrumpRussia.

Morally bankrupt, self-serving, men like Jason Chaffetz are addicted to attention & power. If he isn't running again, he's hiding something.

A question for our American posters: does Ossoff stand any chance of winning the next run-off?

Congratulations Cave! Smile

He certainly stands a chance, illegitimate - although it's a very different ballgame. (One on one with a known opponent.)

Jason Chaffetz announced he won't be running for anything in 2018. However, he will continue to be running FROM everything in perpetuity.
