Now, the dust has settled. Windows splintered with bullet holes have been repaired at the Capitol, the new workplace of these freshmen senators. The violent, anti-democracy mob has been replaced by three people representing populations of their states who have never seen themselves reflected in their senators before.

I think you overestimate both his literacy and industry.

Given the reported dimensions, that would require rather a lot of effort and acrobatics.

If we let them crawl back under their rocks or pretend that they weren’t really fomenting violent insurrection it will only let them do more damage.

With leadership breaking out the exact very specific wording of the 14th Amendment in comments to the press, I hope more comes of this than yet another Strongly Worded Letter.

The Greatest Time Of His Life

I’ve said this before, but related to this, I underestimated just how much Donald Trump would fucking love being president. I figured it would actually require some minimal amount of unpleasant work, and that would be enough to turn him off the whole endeavor. Silly me, he just didn’t do any work, even the bare minimum. More importantly, it was the TV-brain narcissist’s dream existence. He could watch the Donald Trump Show on teevee all day long, and make the entire world jump just by poking his phone with his sausage fingers. Nothing else could compare to that.
