To be fair, most of his experience was in screwing over NYC to benefit the upstate Republicans. It's not usually a winning record for a candidate to be the long time overt enemy of the electorate in question, Trump notwithstanding.

Well, it has provoked some unexpected international travel expenses; but since that was almost entirely among the clergy, it was easy for the CL to be gracious about it.

We kept lying that Republicans are Americans after they nominated Barry Goldwater. The rest was the inevitable playing out of that decision absent any consequences for it.

Not for nothing did the FBI go after the Klan in Staten Island back in the 1950s. But now I'm idly curious if the Klan ever decided to agree with the mainstream white folks WW II era decision that Italians are white after all; if not, it'd make a comeback on SI much harder.

On the one hand, at least that's legal in New York; so for him it would be something new. On the other hand, does anyone not so brain dead as to be a MAGAt think he honored that?

Well, they are pretty good at lying that they're not really Rockefeller Republicans who only carry Democratic party cards because they're PNG in the GOP.

They process 7 million tons of oil, which yields perhaps 5 million tons of product at most (depending on the quality of the crude). But crunching the math, that's still $46 million lost revenue per day the plant is offline (compared to just exporting the crude); and twice that if the crude's stuck.

Mirrors are rather unpopular on the right for good reason, and it's not usually the demands of lying about their physical appearance (which they can do in their sleep).
