Little cracks in MAGAland keep appearing, mainly caused by the actions of their deranged and narcissistic cult leader, the Malignant Fascist. The latest example is Missouri' s glib fascist Sen. Josh "The Runner" Hawley supporting a bill to ban stock trading by Members of Congress, the President, and the Vice President, which for the MF could mean curtailing his corruption. The Associated Press reports:
"President Donald Trump lashed out at Sen. Josh Hawley on Wednesday after the Republican’s proposal to ban stock trading by members of Congress — and the president and vice president — won bipartisan approval to advance in a committee vote. [snip]
Trump called Hawley a 'second-tier Senator' who was playing into the hands of Democrats.
'I don’t think real Republicans want to see their President, who has had unprecedented success, TARGETED, because of the ‘whims’ of a second-tier Senator named Josh Hawley!'
GOP senators had been working with the White House on the stock trade bill, and some supported a broad carve-out to exclude the president from the ban, but it failed, with Hawley joining Democrats to block it. Trump complained that Hawley joined with Democrats to block another amendment that would have investigated the stock trades of Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the speaker emerita, and her spouse. Paul Pelosi has been a much-watched trader, but Pelosi’s office said she personally does not own stock." (our emphasis)
With the MF, it's all about compliance or revenge, and Speaker emeritus Rep. Pelosi is one of the MF's fiercest adversaries. AP also notes that the MF has also attacked fossilized corn cob Sen. Chuck Grassley (MAGA-IA) over a Senate procedural measure that triggered his rage, something that isn't going over well with Senate MAGAts. The MF's failure to contain the Epstein files wildfire -- which he fuels by his out- of- control mouth -- is adding to his rage, and driving little wedges between him and his normally obsequious legislators.
