Nikki Haley tried to warn us. "I don’t think Trump's the right president at the right time going forward." "People know what a disaster he’s been and will continue to be... I’m not afraid to say the hard truth out loud. I feel no need to kiss the ring.” And then like the rest, she voted for him.

"What a delight it would be for the once and future president to turn and see Ms. Obama on the front row in one of those QAnon Shaman headdresses."

“No president has ever been convicted as much as me. Historians tell me they’ve never seen anything like this. Grown men with tears in their eyes come up to me on the street and say, ‘Sir, sir... we are just so impressed. We’ve just never had a convicted president before. This is a first.’”

One presumes, knowing flattery is the ultimate diplomatic tool with this guy, that Macron, Trudeau, and even Scarborough are just being prudent and rubbing the big fella's belly, cooing like he was a pet poodle.

Republicans get votes during strong economies because “voters are more willing to take risks and therefore more likely to elect Republicans, who favor lower taxes.” Americans believe the myth that Republicans are better for jobs, economy, and taxes and Democrats are big spenders and bigger taxers.

It was awful, and as all of our progressive friends are wringing their hands and rightfully telling us, 'it's gonna get awfuller.'
