Is it just me or has there been a distinct absence of Republican lawmakers on @npr.org lately? There have been numerous Democratic lawmakers on in interviews but at the end of each of these they say that they reached out to Republican lawmakers and did not hear back.
Scared or a deliberate tactic?

One day there will be people dragging ground penetrating radar sleds all over the back nine.
When you begin to realize how nonchalantly he buried his own ex-wife on his golf course - you begin to wonder who else could be buried there.
Let’s just say that I no longer see golf courses but rather - cemeteries after reading that his security guard made a reference to it.

There it is. This is his end game. Either he 'fixes' the election to keep him in power or the building blue wave crashes over him and his ass ends up in jail.
This is an existential fight for him and he's not being quiet about it.

“The main event is this: the world is building optionality away from U.S. policy and platform dependence. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it — because it’s showing up in procurement decisions, supply chains, defense budgets, and capital flows”

It's been 10 years of watching him cry like a baby at 1:00AM about people talking about him. His supporters think this is normal behavior. And now he's threatening to sue Trevor Noah? We know you were on the island dude. He's such an infant and I can't wait until we have an adult in charge again.
