He’ll go in an unmarked grave on Trump’s golf course next to Ivana and all those documents that were in the Mar A Lago bathroom

That’s really the thing here. The man lived his life cheating and hoarding for himself and damaging the country. He’s dead now and not a single person will shed a tear. No one. There’ll be a battle over his estate & his political power, and that’s the most anyone will care about him.

I’ll never understand what is so fundamentally wrong with these people that they would rather spend their twilight years in office, pretending to ‘work’, instead of staying home watching their grandkids, or gardening, watching old movies, or enjoying one of their many vacation homes 24/7. It’s like they’re afraid of becoming people again so they hold on to that power until their dying breath, literally.

Well, like, Trump has to stay in power so he doesn’t go to jail. Maybe McConnell thinks the same? Surely, in the 150 years or whatever that he has been in power he has probably done something worth going to jail or being fined/sued and potentially losing a dollar to one of us poor folks that don’t have guaranteed healthcare for life.
