I've been tracking politics for 60 years, and every now and then there is a surprise midterm that is a much bigger bloodbath than expected, and the current political environment is more ripe for that than any time in my life.

When this is over, besides the House races that they are counting on, we are going have 5-10 House flips that NOBODY saw coming.

The proper phrase is " Take a flying fuck at a rolling donut."

Just saying.

Soon they'll be trillionaires, and there will be no stopping them.

The difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars is about a billion dollars. To a billionaire, a mere millionaire might as well be someone on welfare.

I used to think that we had to add another 4 seats to the SCOTUS, but I no longer believe that. Now I think we need to add 20 seats to the Supreme Court.

We have allowed SCOTUS to remain so small so that one bad-faith president can negatively alter the course of the nation for half a century. We should increase it to 29 or 31, with rolling term limits, so every president gets to appoint a handful, but never enough to throw off the balance to any great degree.

She’ll definitely remember that one.

She'll remember that he prefers to be with his work family than her.

Best parenting advice: Love what your kids love, and your kids will love you.

I once saw a guy in a suit, having lunch with his teenage skater-kid son in Chipotle. The line wound past them, so I could hear the kid telling his dad all about the latest episode of Dragonball Z in excruciating detail, as the Dad nodded absently, and looked like he wanted to die.

I went home and told my son my "Love What Your Kids Love" philosophy, and said that when he was young, if he had wanted to talk to me in excruciating detail about some dumb anime thing, I would have...had to cut him loose. Sorry, I just couldn't do it.

He thought that was hilarious. He hates anime.

They know that.

That doesn't describe a dictator, that describes a courageous reformer who is taking his country back. Whether he is a dictator or not is determined by who he perceives as his enemies, how he treats them, and how he handles the next election.

We do NOT have to accept their propaganda. The Dems have always allowed the right to define EVERYTHING for decades. WE have to do our own branding, of both our side and theirs, and then drown them out.
