Phil Guire

I ordered this last week thinking I’d have a couple days to read. Love the new preface.

This would be fun to watch. I think he gets confirmed because, while all senators would love to humiliate him, they would be more pleased to not see him again. He might even garner a few dems (jk).

You spelled “medicate” wrong.

“…I should know. I’ve made sure of it!”

a man is wearing a headband with wires coming out of it and says `` i 've seen this movie '' . ALT: a man is wearing a headband with wires coming out of it and says `` i 've seen this movie '' .

Only way I’m watching it:

I missed Patel on the ice. Was he on the third reich, sorry, I meant line?

Was he though?

Hard to track things that don’t exist.

I’m lucky enough to call Jess a friend. She is the perfect candidate for this district. She understands the military as a vet and she doesn’t put up with anyone’s BS. Go get ‘em. Also, if you can, throw a little money her way.

Mostly men. That’s the ticket.

Temperature down? Knowing Joni she probably thinks we should all freeze to death(everybody dies…)

Weird description. I’ll take that “moral snob” moniker. Better than amoral anything…

Fixated on a memorial arch
Loved watching his monuments being built (reacted a large scaffold to keep watch)
His end of life partner was trafficked to him and Much much younger.
Charming
Difference from dear leader? Smart

I just finished reading King Leopold’s Ghost by Adam Hochchild. Can’t recommend it enough. Some amazing facts about Leopold:
Obsessed with having his own (personal) colony.
Involved with a child rape ring that also included a member of the British royal family.
No taste in music.

The only reason we ever had an assault weapon ban was because people were scared of black people owning them. I hate the second amendment but love to see it exercised equally!

His staff should all be fired. Or, maybe they hate him too…

Reminds me of when Bob Kraft (Patriots Owner) met Vladimir Putin who asked to see one of the Super Bowl rings and once Kraft handed it to him Putin put it in his pocket and never returned it.

I’m reading an amazing book about one of the worst people in history (King Leopold II) and this paragraph really stood out in the similarities to our dear leader.

Private jets are expensive, y’all.

Some metaphors are better than others.

For those who hate “illegal” immigrants, they might want to consider building up countries instead of setting them on fire.

Excited to listen to this. I went to high school with a ton of really smart people but Molly was the smartest!

Why Doesn’t America Have Universal Health Care? One Word: Race (Published 2019) The nation’s first federal health care program served freedmen after the Civil War. From the beginning, white legislators argued it would breed dependence.

Sadly there is a more insidious reason:

Pretty dramatic move to get rid of Wink Martindale if you ask me.

when I worked in the senate it wasn’t any better. In 2003 we still had a 100yo Strom Thurmond and decrepit Jesse helms rolling around.

Is there a way to “short” a person?

I challenge our Capitol Hill bartenders to create a Fog of War cocktail in honor of the war secretary. It should be bitter, very strong and burn.

I’m weirdly ok with this because if TN special holds and they dilute R districts they might loose way more than they hoped to gain. If I were a R-rep in a safe district I might suggest we scuttle this plan. But yes, Thomas and Alito should be punted to the moon.

You pick! What am I reading next?? My last book was thick so I am a little behind!

I am deeply concerned about the lack of meritocracy in the world of football coaching…
