continuing things from the article: lol lindsey
A friend who regularly runs into Lindsey Graham in Washington told me that each time they meet, “he brags about having just met with Trump” while exhibiting “high school” levels of excitement, as if “a popular quarterback has just bestowed some attention on a nerdy debate-club leader— the powerful big kid likes me! ” That kind of intense pleasure is hard to relinquish and even harder to live without.
this is concerning and similar has been mentioned by plenty of great posters here:
This instinct has an American variation. Politicians here who have spent their lives following rules and watching their words, calibrating their language, giving pious speeches about morality and governance, may feel a sneaking admiration for someone like Trump, who breaks all the rules and gets away with it. He lies; he cheats; he extorts; he refuses to show compassion, sympathy, or empathy; he does not pretend to believe in anything or to abide by any moral code. He simulates patriotism, with flags and gestures, but he does not behave like a patriot; his campaign scrambled to get help from Russia in 2016 (“If it’s what you say, I love it,” replied Donald Trump Jr., when offered Russian “dirt” on Hillary Clinton), and Trump himself called on Russia to hack his opponent. And for some of those at the top of his administration, and of his party, these character traits might have a deep, unacknowledged appeal: If there is no such thing as moral and immoral, then everyone is implicitly released from the need to obey any rules. If the president doesn’t respect the Constitution, then why should I? If the president can cheat in elections, then why can’t I? If the president can sleep with porn stars, then why shouldn’t I?

Not bad, but it should say “no hablo español”

More from the last few days. I used to think there was no chance of taking the Senate. Now it might be more likely than winning the presidency.

I hope he does get an RV and ride around with it with Melania. Then one night while camping under the stars in New Mexico, a pack of coyotes happens upon them, tearing them to shreds.

I don’t even know if their desire for Trump to win is so secret. They have not been this relevant in decades. They are addicted to the nurturing milk of the Trump teet.

Election night is going to be the biggest sweat of our lives. I’m stressing just thinking about it. Here’s to hoping the Dem candidate gets out to a massive lead line early returns and runs away in a landslide victory.
Also, Lady Graham getting voted out will be so incredibly fantastic.

Wat?
If mayor bowser doesn’t treat this group of men and women well we will bring in another group of men and women.
I am fairly fluent in the TMB dialect (trump mush brain) but I don’t understand this thought at all.
