One thought on “Listen: Al Franken talks about the “friggin’ dope” with Steve Schmidt”
The large bottle of ink I set aside for scribblings on Trump is close to empty. The lexicon of language appropriate for describing Trump is exhausted. In the past, politicians with whom we disagree or whom we even despise, were usually at least capable of some redeeming actions, were even possibly good to “sit and have a beer with.” I cannot think of a single politician since Hitler and Mussolini, Pol Pot, Stalin, & Co. who has justly engendered such loathing and disgust. Being a failure as a politician or leader is one thing. Being a wilfully ignorant, mendacious, maleficent failure as a human being is quite another. Voting for such a person is to cause a self-inflicted wound beyond comprehension. There…I believe that was the last of the ink.
