It’s downright cartoonish. We live in a cartoon reality where the bad guy’s criminal acts can be understood by a toddler.
Now they're Lucy in the candy factory.
And then they say "I don't understand why people would vote for a Bad Guy. Did he lie and say he was a Good Guy?"
"Not really. He said all the bad stuff he was going to do."
"That doesn't make sense"
And so many/damn near all of us are in that “walking through soup” mode where just nothing feels real at all anymore.

Forget the bribery or political aspects of it—the economics of it is astounding.
I've always been a U2 fan but actions like this tip me over the Edge.
I hope they keep the receipts and bill him after he leaves office.
They came for the king and missed?
Trump is only about revenge. This has zero to do with legal wrongdoing. Attorneys turn down clients daily, totally within the law.
Who will be left to stand up?
