Phoenix, your post at #71 is spot on. We’ve become a unique mass suicide dying from (literally) millions of slow cuts of best intentions. What boggles me is how the Republican elitists are deluding themselves with their own definitive eradication barreling down on them.
Which tells us those elitists “reaching across the aisle” are traitors, purposely sacrificing constituents, patriotic allies and all pretenses of morality for power, money and the belief they’ll be insulated from the repercussions of their lust for power and wealth.
I think their reaching across the aisle, in the end, won’t even get them a “reach-around”, just a funny walk on their way to the big ruts where dozers rev ready to fill the earth back in while the gun smoke wisps away like their foolish expectations.
