He’d still fold every last one of us in half with ease, though.

It’s called Monty Burns syndrome. Surround yourself with yes men, and next thing you know you’re the smartest person in the room, even though you are far from it. Simpsons did it!

It’s the amphetamines.

it was such a goddamn embarrassment how the media worked that shit.

He’s in a district that’s been gerrymandered almost down to specific mailboxes. Iowans outside of his district, like my uncle and aunt, largely can’t stand the MFer.
