Today on NBC's Meet The Press, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said the Trump-Zelensky phone call may be "just the tip of the iceberg." He will lead an investigation of Trump's other phone calls with foreign leaders, Vladimir Putin in particular. Trump gives few details of what he and Putin have discussed in their 11 phone conversations. He swears his interpreters to secrecy and he doesn't allow anyone to take notes. What is Trump hiding? But his is the most transparent administration in US history. He says so. Meanwhile.....

Instead, the orange-skinned parrot is busy squawking: "Hoax! Witch hunt! Hoax! Witch hunt! The whistleblower is a traitor! Schiff is a traitor! Biden is crooked! Hillary is crooked! The news media are dishonest! Awrrrkkk!" Welcome to Trumpworld.

Ain't it amazing how so many of Trump's aides and Cabinet members insist there was nothing inappropriate about his phone call soliciting another country's help in the 2020 election – and yet they all conspired to keep the public from finding out about it? By the way, Donald, Richard Nixon says hello.

Vain, pompous, egotistical, narcissistic Emperor Trump repeated the words of an evangelical pastor who is one of his blindly loyal supporters and is also anti-Muslim and anti-LGBT: Impeaching Trump and removing him from office will cause a "Civil War-like fracture" from which our nation will never heal. I have my own idea: Our nation will begin healing the very second he's out of office.
