It is so difficult to witness people drink the Jim Jones Kool Aid while they see the fellow zealot right beside them drink it and die.
In regards to Trump holding 40 percent of the national voters. It is not the same as Putin controlling polling in Russia. It is much different.

This is a harsh way to put it but As long as you protect the unborn, me and my God will stand with you but look the other way as you send the Jews to Auschwitz for the final solution. It is the harsh reality.

There is going to be a huge demand for lifeboats (any floatation device). As with many of the slave ship sailors of the day, Who did not personally approve of slavery. Still sailed the ships because it was so damn profitable .

Planning to sell floatation devices made of Styrofoam with solid lead anchors inside. Because profit. So says the Prosperity Gospel..
If it matters, I will have them made right here in America.

After the Lipstick on the castrated Pig debate in Iowa where Joni (Palin) had difficulty with the price of Soy beans but she was positive her opponent was Nancy (AOC) Pelosi and she did not answer the question the moderator asked her opponent that her opponent answered.

The GOP rat flotilla has already begun forming at sea. The Lincoln Project is one of them.

She has put one of my floatation devices on layaway plan.

OK, yes it has been amusing to watch senate Republicans try to "distance" themselves from Fergus as he quite publicly eats shit with a shovel: "Wait. No. This is important. This is MY election."
Don't say we didn't warn you, you fucking pine cones.
So what do you think Fergus will do now that the DOJ has until noon on Tuesday to tell judge Walton whether he was actually declassifying everything having to do with the Russia investigation? Will he tell the judge "No, actually that was just me spewing bullshit and you can't take anything I say seriously" or "hell yes I meant it, let those journalists have at it!"
Molly Ivins once said about Clayton Williams that a politician can trip over his dick a few times, but he shouldn't just stand there and stomp on it over and over. Maybe the long tie is for camouflage.
I turn sixty this year also, should I manage to live a couple more months, so I kinda have an idea what that feels like, and I have made an honest effort to suppress the "I'm too damn old for this bullshit" responses, at least the ones that would be audible.
There was an interesting question posed by the Field Negro a while back, that went "If Fergus agreed to resign tomorrow on the condition that Mike Pence would have to pardon him and the New York AG would have to drop the investigations, would you accept those terms?"
I said no. Republican presidents getting away with their crimes with no consequences is a big factor in how things got this fucked up in the first place, so I would bite the bullet and try my ass off to get rid of him the regular way so as to be able to hold him and his felons accountable for the damage they've done this time.
Thank you again for the podcast. It just keeps on getting weirder and weirder, but we knew it would, and now we just have to help each other try and live through it, and the podcast does indeed do that.

Hear you loud and clear.
There should be accountability for the ones that flaunt Law and Order for you and me except for the GOP. On that Judge awaiting Trump's answer about telling the truth over releasing the full unredacted report.

Trump will just appeal and take it to SCOTUUS. like he does everything.

Great Podcast. It always boils down to money. Trump trys to control all. Until there is consequences, the mess will remain.
