Cary, ever since we broke bread and learned about your history, I have had nothing but a tremendous amount of respect for you.
Hokie, as do I for you…. That certainly doesn't mean I think some of your comments are dumb. Hell, I'm sure you think the same about mine, at times.
FYI, I've had people DM me about you. I've defended you as a great person many times. Even though you and I disagree on certain things, I know we agree on far more than not.
At the end of day, we see some things through a different lens.
As far as norms, I see those as being the problem. Too many norms that should have been considered abnormal have taken root and recognize in a screwed up way:
- Too many politicians becoming wealthy while in DC
- Too many laws have been passed that aren't constitutional
- Too many Fed Departments acting as a fourth branch of Government
- Fed Reserve is one of the most economically impactful organizations, paid for by the US taxpayer, without any accountability. Then people espouse the need for independence, all the while they have major overruns on that damn building we are paying for.
- Too many people accepting a bloated, damn near unaccountable Fedreal Government.
- Too many Republicans out there saying things like: we need to get Trumps agenda passed. Ok, why go on break, without calling a recess, to get Trumps nomination passed. They could have allowed for recess appointments, come back and get them nominated after the fact. Recess appointments aren't forever. They have a 1-year term on them.
- Leftist saying things like: Trump is using the Justice Department as his own legal team. Yes, they report to him! He should use it how he feels. Elections have consequences.
I could go on and on…. Here's one for you… Civ and his ilk saying things like: cult of personality and MAGA cults or whatever…. Then, Civ had the audacity to spew this crap about Trump, being dead and/or unhealthy, because it became trending on Social Media.
I will tell you what I have very little doubt about: the left will absolutely do, or have already done, what they blame others of doing. Let's impeach Trump over a call to Zalensky (first term) when Biden had already done exactly what they impeached Trump on.
So, screw all these norms that people talk about. They were thrown out a long time ago. The new norm, that's been going on well before Trump should have been thrown out. As no one really gives a damn about what norms should really be, then, I just don't give a damn anymore. We are in a hyper-political world and I dont see it getting better, so…. What the hell?
BTW, it just came out that Illian Omar's net worth just surpassed 30 million. Isn't that amazing? Don't get me wrong, the same thing can be said about as many Republicans…
At least I know it's true about a Party I've supported all my life. Most Dems will just blame Trump!
