Everyone goes on and on about how much they hate Taco Bell, but they still go there because it gets the job done for a quarter the price of anyone else. Which is as Mexican as something can get.

Here's the price Mitt Romney is paying for standing against TrumpThe Senate's most outspoken GOP critic of the president finds his motives are questioned, and worse.
One man is an island: Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah.The 72-year-old former Republican presidential nominee has isolated himself from Republicans in the Senate, in his home state and across the country by occasionally — but strongly — criticizing President Donald Trump, including his efforts to enlist the aid of foreign governments to probe a leading political opponent."By all appearances, the President's brazen and unprecedented appeal to China and to Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden is wrong and appalling," Romney tweeted earlier this month.In recent weeks, the senator's acts of rebellion against the commander-in-chief have been flagrant: from publicly confirming "Pierre Delecto" is the secret identity he used to counter Trump on Twitter to bashing Trump's Syria policy on the Senate floor to positioning himself on the front edge of any move by GOP lawmakers to break away and either censure the president or vote to remove him from office if the House follows through with impeachment.While that House-side inquiry has put a heat lamp on Republican senators from states where voters aren't thrilled with the president's actions — particularly swing-state lawmakers who are up for re-election in 2020 — Romney's criticism of Trump hasn't prompted those colleagues to follow him into the political no-man's land of finding fault with both the president's conduct and the divisiveness of impeachment.
Knowing how popular the president remains in the Republican Party — and how afraid GOP members of Congress are of drawing Trump's wrath — Romney was aware that he would be separating himself from the pack when he chose to speak out, as he did during the 2016 election, according to advisers who spoke to NBC on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter on the record.
As for impeachment, the advisers said, Romney is grappling with his concern that the entire process is bad for the country and will end up being even more divisive no matter the outcome, a worry that he shares with his wife, Ann Romney.

Listen, it's in the contract that if you're going to pivot from Third Worldist Revolutionary to Respect The Thin Blue Line, you have to alert me in writing in advance by five (5) business days.

Sure kill a dude thousands of miles away while infrastructure crumbles, global influence wanes, citizens go bankrupt and die on a for-profit healthcare system, the next generation is crippled with student loans, and so on. But MAGA, right.It seems irrelevant because Trump has been saying all month nearly every time he speaks to the press that ISIS has been 100% eradicated, the caliphate is dead, it's done, USA won, Trump not Obama killed off ISIS. But also this is bigger than killing Osama.

Gavin Newsom sucks.
https://twitter.com/thedailybeast/status/1188513833599602688Not really sure what to believe here, but if it turns out Trump just basically made up that entire press conference... that would really be something... and on brand.
What's really terrible about this is that it's actually completely believable that Trump would make something like this up and hold an hour rambling press conference about itThe Russians have such an easy job
Crazy how ISIS was 100% wiped out and we just now got Baghdadi. Are they 101% wiped out now? Is this Castlevania: Symphony of the Night?
