    Dude I have to say I love that politics is getting weird again

    Remember Archibald Cox getting pulled over going 90 mph and telling the state trooper he was the special prosecutor and Nixon’s goons were ransacking his office and he needed to get there right away and the trooper put on his lights and gave him a police escort to get across the state now at 100 mph to put a stop to it? Remember when you had family members who were precinct captains who were involved, before assholes on TV and people who worked in Washington took over the whole fuckin process and coincidentally everything in the country started going to shit?

    I really like that something major and unexpected has happened, and not in some catastrophic way. We need that.

      I dunno man, there have been enough weird political events in the last 8 years that wouldnt feel out of place in a comedy movie. When they happen in real life it’s actually scary.

      I want politics to be boring again.

      So the whole pizzagate, email server, attack on white house, stealing classified documents to a personal property and hush money wasn’t already enough inane stupidity for ya?
