Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war; and such a war as is of every man against every man.

Yeah, but it's funny watching them pretend sometimes.

Anyway, as John McCain is not one of my colleagues, I am free to say that I hope this ends his Senate career. (I do hope he's not in pain, because I don't like it when even evil people suffer, and I do hope he's not dying so that he can live to see the fullness of what his cowardice has wrought.)

Unlikely...his term lasts until 2022. He could even pull a Tim Johnson and take a year off actual voting just laying in a hospital bed and still be a "Senator."

At press time, McCain insisted that a special investigation was not necessary, a statement that McCain said only lent credence to his darkest suspicions.

this is really good

Serioustalk -- since Arizona is held by the GOP losing McCain will probably move his seat from a "maybe, maybe not" to a "definite yes".

They wheeled Strom into vote. He was so incoherent and zoned out that he could barely speak, but he still technically was "voting" because his staff were running him on autopilot.

Tim Johnson was the Dem Senator from South Dakota who had a stroke in 2007 and basically sat that entire year out in a hospital bed and didn't vote on anything.

I'm re-reading Dune and Frank Herbert was woke af 40 years B.E. (Before Escalator)-

Greatness is a transitory experience. It is never consistent. It depends in part upon the myth-making imagination of humankind. The person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he is in. He must reflect what is projected upon him. And he must have a strong sense of the sardonic. This is what uncouples him from belief of his own pretensions. The sardonic is all that permits him to move within himself. Without this quality, even occasional greatness will destroy a man.- from "Collected Sayings of Muad'DibTrump" by the Princess Irulan

For me him voting yes with grave concerns is worse than a full throated yes, just emotionally.

It really is and like half of the pre-chapter quotations can be applied to Trump and the other clowns running the government right now. It might be my favorite book ever.
