The chick behind Kavanaugh is pretty fucking hot though even if she has smallish eyes.
I can’t wait to read (I.e. listen to) that Woodward book. It sounds fucking nuts.
I’m listening to Rick Wilson’s book now and it’s somewhat good at showing Republican hypocrisy around trump and laying out a case for why Trump is so unfit, but he never really comes to grips with his role in the creation of Trumps base and also uses Obama too liberally as a comparison point to Trump. Like “oh trump does this JUST LIKE OBAMA DID!” Or “Trumps followers have a glassy-eyed hero worship like Obama’s did”
I get what he is getting at, and I think there is room to disagree with Obama, but comparing him to Trump as if there is any real comparison in any way is just silly. Anything Obama did “wrong” or norms he violated Trump is doing wrong^2 so it’s just deeply dishonest to even start with that benchmark.
I find this a lot in the Anti-trump right like Wilson, Tom Nichols, or a few others. Like they seem to think that the GOP just had a bout of temporary insanity and in reality their biases and focus groups means that they actually understand that these old people running around in tricorns festooned with Lipton’s Finest carrying MORAN signs have some kind of deeply held conservative value system instead of just being old white trash with early onset dementia. They can’t quite come to grips that they were never really conservative thought leaders and were actually just the so-called “lipstick on a pig” that Sarah Palin loved to talk about so much.
