the only point of politics is the Culture War, granted, I'm all about it

There’s no culture war. There’s idiots who love America and idiots who worship America and they all love capitalism and unless they’re over 65 they think they’re going to be rich 99.9999999% of them.

Would it be more humiliating than even one day of either of our lives doing our jobs?

They’d fight. They actually have a pair.

Damn it. Just when I was finally getting comfortable with my ding dong.

Nick Mulvaney was completely nailed as the guy giving the quid pro quo orders today by both White House officials via their sworn transcripts. Questions were asked to insure there was no speculation or assumptions - both were 100% clear as to what Mulvaney was instructing.

Who gets thrown under the bus first? Mulvaney? Pompeo? Sondland? Giuliani? Pence?
Who's first to be under oath in front of congress on live TV and point the finger? The 'John Dean' moment.

I'm hearing from back east family that they've given up on the guy.

Would it be more humiliating if a man who's entire adult life has been lived as a celebrity showing us how amazing he is to have his entire life torn down around him for being the scumbag we always knew he was in a way that will be taught to children for hundreds of years with his mugshot in history books? Yes.

It's unfortunate, but guys like elph are the first ones who'd get steamrolled in a civil war.

I’m cool with that

Let’s me off the hook tbh
