@jaynordlinger Someone should ask him what makes Putin a good person? The political persecution? The needless war he’s losing? Or just the fact that he can do those things and stay in power? I bet it’s that last that Trump truly envies.
@captainkudzu@NewReaganCaucus David - this is why I loathe everyone in American politics with a few exceptions. For instance, I love Ben Sasse. Btw-did you read the article his daughter wrote about him? She is her father’s daughter for sure.
@jaynordlinger There is so much gross and wrong here. It’s fine if they want to ask service members to attend, but you should give them free tickets. And the height/weight thing is weird but so on-brand for Trump. And it’s not like he’s particularly fit.
@McCainJack Forgive me - but what city is that? Phoenix? I used to go there for work a lot (former company had offices by Biltmore mall). Agreed it’s a great city.
@McCainJack I’m reading a MacArthur biography right now. Did you know early in his career his mother would right these fawning letters to his superiors in an effort to get him promoted?
@captainkudzu@kenmartin73 To be fair - they DID learn how to win elections with the worst candidate in my lifetime. So I guess they learned SOMETHING from it.
@jaynordlinger Jay - I’d expect you to know with certainty the plural form of doofus - I like doofi though so let’s go with it. Also - the answer to “Is it possible that some doofi?” is “yes” in this era. Always yes.
@captainkudzu@mdubowitz@JohnCornyn On a tactical level we clearly are. However when you have no real strategic goals it’s impossible to define winning or losing in any meaningful way.
@adamrshields@Eugene_Scott I’ve heard that there are a lot of congresspeople that don’t know the difference. And that’s everything we need to know about the state of our “leaders” right now.
