Well let's go, let's get him out. I'm on board. Where do I sign up?
But you get a real politician in his place, which could be worse. |
Oh bravo Rod Dreher. This, of course, is the man who wrote "The Benedict Option". He also attends the Orthodox Church in Baton Rouge. I keep hoping he will meet Arthur and find him a job as a tutor of Western Civilization (I believe that Arthur, before he retired, taught the only 2-year Western Civ course in America).

Perfect, Roger, Bob. I think McCain's recent diagnosis made me reminiscent for the 2008 election.

I suppose I miss reasonable opposition.

John, I read through the entire Rod Dreher piece in The American Conservative as well as the accompanying 118 reactions/comments to it.
The 118 comments contain cogent arguments from all sides of the grim situation. What does not escape me is the swamp-like muck and mire of the Trump camp that is growing like a grotesque organism. That they (the Trump Swamp) argue this is politics as usual is bizarre. Just now I'm hearing that Trump has floated the idea that he has the power to pardon himself. It grows and grows... |
