Elaine Chao, wife of Mitch McConnell, is in a bit of a bind.

This is hot off the presses:

The House Oversight Committee on Monday launched an investigation into whether Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao is using her office to benefit herself and her family.

“The Committee is examining your misstatements of fact, your actions that may have benefitted the company in which you continued to hold shares, and your compliance with ethics and financial disclosure requirements,” Reps. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) and Raja Krishnamoorthi(D-Ill.) wrote in a letter to Chao.

The investigation follows allegations of ethics violations committed by Chao, who is married to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), in her role in the Trump administration.

This is living, honest to God, cash back guarantee, iron clad proof that the rich think they are never rich enough. Mitch McConnell is 77 years old and Elaine Chao is 66.  What the hell are they still gathering money for? To bribe St. Peter?

So, come to find out, Brett Kavanaugh, who, by the way, likes beer, lied during his confirmation hearing.  Apparently, he has to be mean, loud, aggressive, and make awful faces when he lies.

Do you know who else lied under oath?  Bill Clinton. And he got impeached for it. So we shall see who is above the law.

Also come to find out, the FBI isn’t exactly Sherlock Holmes when it comes to investigating people Trump likes. Hell, in this case, they weren’t even Nancy Drew.

The FBI chose to ignore corroborating evidence from dozens of witnesses. Yet they claim they did a 10 month investigation.

Scariest of all, of course, was Trump’s tweeting.

In the first tweet, he misspelled libel, calling it liable. Suggesting that the Justice Department should come to Kavanaugh’s rescue is one more example of the imperial presidency.

Trump simply does not understand government, much less democracy.  And he’s scaring the crap outta me.

And we’re moved in and I love my new house. I live here with Bubba and boxes. Lotsa boxes.

We are here.

I thought I had seen the lowest of the lows, but Republicans continue to shatter the floor for dishonesty.  Today, while North Carolina Democrats were at a 9/11 memorial ceremony,  Republicans pulled a fast one and held a rush vote to override Democratic Governor Roy Cooper’s veto of the Republican budget bill.  The Repubs have been trying to override the veto for 2 months, but couldn’t get the 3/5 majority.  Earlier, Republican chairman of the rules committee, David Lewis, lied to Democratic leader Darren Lewis that there would be no votes while the Democratic caucus was at the 9/11 ceremony.  As soon as they left, he held the vote and rammed through the vote, overriding Cooper’s veto.  Democratic Rep. Deb Butler shouted her objection and Repub Speaker Tim Moore tried to have her arrested.

They can’t win by the rules anymore, so they just break them.

First up, tomorrow is moving day, Thursday Bubba and I have tickets to the presidential debate, and Friday we close on this house so I’m gonna be busy as Trump on Twitter.  Be nice to El Jefe. He’s a friend and I like him.  He’s also smart, stubborn, and ready to pick a fight – just the kind of people I like.

Meanwhile, I want you to notice this.  Imagine if President Barack Obama had planned a secret meeting with the Taliban during the week of 9/11 at Camp David against the advice of everyone else in the administration.  Yeah, think about that.

Valerie Plame is running for Congress.  Yes, THAT Valerie Plame.  And she’s a badass.
