Anyway, couldn't you run this playbook by pointing out that Trump doing a ton of performatively evil stuff *instead* of helping out the regular folks with their pocketbook issues?

This has been her posture for the last 2 years. I think she's been a good governor for my state, but, man, the house is on fire and she seems to think the smart play is to keep her head down, she's not helping at all.

The Massacre of the Latins = ICE and mass deportations
Frederick Barbarrossa = Xi Jinping
Breakaway of Serbia and Cyprus = Gavin Newsom and JB Pritzker

Manuel I Komnenos = Obama
Alexios II = Clinton
Incestuous affair with Eudokia = Epstein
Conspiring with Baldwin of Jerusalem = Putin
Invasion plot with the Cumans = Jan 6
2 escapes from prison = the impeachments
1204 Crusader sack of Constantinople = whatever disaster befalls the US in 5-10 years

Good stuff, my man!

I've started having a very negative reaction to the celebs in sports gambling commercials. Needed some more money, Lebron? You want me to believe that losing money on my phone is an extremely glamorous activity, Wayne Gretzky? Luis Guzman, really?
