Some of the weirdness has been completely predictable, if not to many of his duped supporters. Some of it is a surprise. All of it underscores, yet again on today's BradCast, that we have a full-blown loser serving as President of the United States. [Audio link to the full show follows this summary.]

Among the many many stories supporting those points, as covered on today's program...

  • 17 Repubs join all House Dems to pass bill restoring ACA health care subsidies (AP)
  • Boebert slams Trump for veto of unanimously-approved CO drinking water project (DKos)
  • 35 Repubs join all House Dems in failed effort to override Trump's CO water project veto (CO Politics)
