Think kindly of the dragon Smaug. Shed a tear for Gollum. And give an orc a hug. If only they had tucked into the occasional quiche and salad or a touch of smoked salmon, or had a few sessions on a sunbed. How much kinder history would have been to…

CNN host John Berman on Monday noted that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has become a "shell" of his former self after turning into a sycophant for President Donald Trump.
During a segment about the pardons that Trump could issue before leaving office, CNN host Alisyn Camerota reported that Graham had urged the president not to let Capitol Hill rioters off the hook.

"Carl, [Nixon and Trump] are both leaving in shame and anonymity," said anchor John Berman. "What is the comparison?"
According to an attorney with over 40 years of legal experience, the House Democrats have compiled a compelling impeachment case for the U.S. Senate to convict Donald Trump for "incitement of insurrection" that even Republicans should agree with.
Writing in the conservative Bulwark, litigator Philip Rotner stated that articles of impeachment present an "open and shut" case whenever the Senate takes up the trial -- likely after Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) becomes the new Senate majority leader.
