“The honor [sic] of the American people?”
Please.
The American people voted for this man. They saw who he was. They watched what he did. They heard what he said. And they voted for him again.
Honor?

I really struggle here. On the one hand, there is more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents, etc.
On the other, she knew exactly who and what he was. He told us, and showed us, repeatedly. I’m delighted she’s finally come round, and I wish they all would. But she knew who she voted for.

A great list. Didn’t expect Marillion to feature even once, let alone twice.

I mean, there’s always a wealth tax, or a capital gains tax, but nah, just keep the poors working and paying ever more regressive taxes like GST.
