My wife saw this and said that she feels like this is like “getting lung cancer from second hand smoke”. She made the right decision but got sick anyway. Just an analogy, she is fine.

My wife, after reading the news of the CA and MX tariffs on day one, said that she likens our current situation to “getting lung cancer from second hand smoke” Sounds about right.

Two weeks after the election, a gathering in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, commemorated Abraham Lincoln’s 1863 address. The Lincoln scholar who recited the 16th president's words said the speech felt “not like a relic from the past, but a prayer for the future.”

If senators confirm a nominee without benefit of knowing the risk they pose, then they set a precedent for never again exercising their constitutional powers.

"That isn’t capitulation; it’s what they get paid to do. In the very unlikely event Trump were to ask me to fly down to Mar-a-Lago, do you honestly think, dear reader, that I’d refuse? My boss would fire me if I did."
