Few even mentioned his name, and the new federal indictment he faces was completely ignored, as Republican candidates for president tried in Iowa Sunday to present themselves as Donald Trump alternatives.

      Well played. Not sure why but this is kinda visceral. There is a bit of a vapid, hollow look to these folks or maybe its just me.

        I think it’s important to remember that not all conservatives are dumb idiots who got super into following a charlatan. A lot of them are, don’t get me wrong.

        But a lot of them are selfish, religious bigots who want to violently control others. They’re not valid or dumb, they’re cruel.

        Don’t let them get away with anything by cultivating the idea they’re just sheep. There are wolves among them too.

        As you once did for the vacuous Rom, grant us eyes, grant us eyes. Plant eyes on our brains, to cleanse our beastly idiocy.
