True.  But then again, I'm not supporting something I don't want.  I want and support more conservative justices, and I'm getting them.  I wanted Trump to do all he reasonably could to control illegal immigration, and he's been doing that despite renegade federal judges.  Looks like he's finally going to be permitted to kill DACA.  I wanted reductions in regulations, I wanted us not to sign onto global warming madness, and I wanted us to stay away from single payer.  Trump has given me all of that.  Oh, and badly needed business tax reform that has helped foster the longer expansion in history.

So I wasn't just voting against the left -- I was voting for some things as well that I actually did get.

I also wanted entitlement reform, and really liked Ryan's plan to convert it to block grants.  But I wasn't going to get that with Democrats either, so it's a non-issue at this point.

And it's not as if any of the alternatives to Trump will come close to achieving what he has,  even if he's not perfect.

Let me mark you down in the political adult collumn. Good instincts, good judgment too.

Damn song is stuck in my head now!

The best cure for a brain worm song is a worse brain worm. Something by Abba would work for me. Or maybe Sherri Lewis' "Song that Never Ends".

I realize TDS is a thing, but how Sanford imagined he had the national recognition to get Any Democrat elected instead of Trump is beyond my ken.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Too bad.

He was at 2%, going on 3%...
Which is still better than some of the Democrats.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C S Lewis
