Absolutely! We need to focus on calling elected officials names rather than each other.

Speaking of name-calling...

Meghan McCain called Steve Schmidt a "pedophile" over the weekend and he just blew a gasket. Steve started dropping dimes on Megs and how she's an entitled spoiled brat who is unaccomplished (Meg's recent book only sold 234 copies), leaving her on a tarmac because she was late and people were waiting for her father to arrive at the destination - and probably the worst insult ever - Steve likened Megs to the Trump kids.

Steven didn't stop there! He unleashed on Sarah Palin and how she lied about everything in her background to the 2008 McCain Campaign.

Then he unleashed on Paul Manafort and Rick Davis insisting both are Russian assets who caused havoc in Ukraine and why is Rick Davis even near the McCain institute as John McCain was severely anti-Russian.

Rightwing infighting never gets old.

Five filthy treasonous Republican House Members (McCarthy, Jordan, Perry, Biggs, and Brooks) were issued subpoenas yesterday by their own branch of government. Wanna bet these “law and order” Republicans defy their subpoenas?

I don't see much reason to get all fan-girly over republican gossip columns, but you be you!

Much ado is often made over left-wing infighting as well. With lots of juicy name-calling.

Joe Manchin has been called a lot of names right here at RR!

Um… my information came Steve Schmidt’s actual Tweets.

The Republican infighting continues as new Republican primaries are carried out each week. This week is the Pennsylvania primary. The Republican establishment has gone all-in attacking candidates which Trump has endorsed including candidate Mehmet Oz of TV's Dr. Oz fame.

The GOP establishment attack ads against Trump's candidates are especially vicious.

Desperation for Trump and his MAGAt cult comes in the form of making sure that Trump's Republican primary candidates win. If Trump can put enough Republican candidates over the top, then the media will keep writing about how influential Trump is, and… he’ll somehow end up back in the White House instead of prison. Then again, delusional optimism is often the only thing desperate people have left.

A little noticed referral this week from House Natural Resources Committee to the DOJ regarding an allegation around Arizona developer Michael Ingram, who was initially denied approval to build a golf course and housing project but then got a reversal from the government after meeting with a Trump administration official and donating money to the Trump victory fund and to the Republican National Committee.

Bribery and accepting bribes will get you 20 years in the penitentiary.

If any more Texas power plants stop working, Raphael "Fled" Cruz will, once again, abandon his dog to flee to a place not run by Republicans.

Republican Logic:

10 people shot dead by a violent white supremacist? Just the cost we pay for having a Second Amendment.

5 Justices slightly inconvenienced by a peaceful protest? Just too high a cost for having a First Amendment!

That's because congressional subpoenas have all the enforcement teeth of a chalk scrawl on a driveway or a sternly worded letter of concern by Susan Collins.
