i cannot imagine having a brain which makes you think this and not "it is regrettable that the Republican party could not maintain a cordon sanitaire"

everyone needs to internalize that this is just how all republicans are and when nancy pelosi said "the country needs a strong republican party" she meant that more people like this should be powerful. they are all like this! they all think just like this and like trump and they love it and it's fun

There really isn't a wide constituency for evil eugenicist billionaire conservativism, and we have to push on that wedge (and disempower these mother fuckers).

It's mildly infuriating that they are all about bucking the biases in mainstream media are all "how many states do we have, two?" They have nothing to say about the bulk of the conservative movement lives their lives and what it's like to be where the right has power.

relatedly, the reason this is illegal is because it would make the military beholden to the highest bidder, which we absolutely do not want, even if you like the idea of draining billionaires for it. it will not take them long at all to start giving the orders if they’re paying.

it’s illegal, but, also, this didn’t happen, and if someone *did* tell him this, they were lying
