Said it before, it’s remarkable to see how a personality disorder can spread like a virus, but there really is a corporate culture of sociopathy in that administration:

Surely anyone with a law degree is likely to have the character, sophistication, and intelligence the Navy requires in its officers.

I label them SPAM and was sick and tired of them the very first I got from someone out of state. I know it takes money but this election season has taken it to the extreme. I’m just about to say never again as I have done with charities. Never satisfied = no more blood from this stone.
I particularly loath the last time you gave $25, can you make it $50 this time.

Two things about that:
-
When the Lincoln Project says “Vote for one of us” … people (I won’t say who) should take care not to be fooled.
-
Bledsoe left the race some weeks ago and endorsed “one of us.”
Bill Bledsoe, who had been running as the Constitution Party candidate seeking to block Graham from a fourth term, dropped out to endorse Graham, the Republican’s campaign told The Associated Press on Thursday.
“I appreciate Dr. Bledsoe’s support,” Graham said in a statement. “We agree on numerous issues like increasing the number of conservative judges on the bench, reducing the national debt, upholding the sanctity of life and having a strong military.”

Gee, Senator Graham, what ever happened to “use my words against me”? Maybe a lot of voters in SC will do just that. Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya, as they say down South.

The Trump era seems to be characterized by an intensive search for people who do not have a best in them to be brought out. Most of them are then given a position in the administration.

You’ve put your finger on the egocentric assumption that everyone who eschews a mask is making: that the individual has no duty to others. Whether you are a Kantian or a Confucian that is just immoral, and yet people like Governor Noemi are holier than thou about doing so.

It’s hard to tell here whether he’s talking about Bill Bledsoe or Adolf Hitler.

Angela Merkel is a Kantian.
And Confucians are mostly Chinese.

It’s OK. I’d otherwise spend it on something I’d probably regret or put in a closet eventually.

Just for completeness, then, here’s the AP story (October 1) about Bledsoe’s endorsement of Graham. (I’ve also modified my original comment to add the link.)

If Graham is good with the GOP packing the courts with “conservative” ideologues he shouldn’t have any problem with a new Democratic majority government adding seats on the Supreme Court.
The deficit for FY 2019 was $984 billion. The CBO predicted that the COVID-19 pandemic would raise the FY 2020 deficit to $3.7 trillion. The CBO predicted the FY 2021 deficit to be $2.1 trillion.
Covid-19 deaths, 232,291 and rising.

He’ll tell you that “increasing the number of conservative judges on the bench” is only fair – because it restores a balance!
Plus you’re talking about a Senator who doesn’t actually think he can be held accountable for what he says about appointments to the court.
As for their consuming interest in “reducing the national debt,” you made a point about deficits which they’ll defeat by ignoring it completely.
Same with their devotion to “upholding the sanctity of life” and the point you made about the way they have (not) handled the pandemic.

Using Dr. Bill Bledsoe to siphon votes away from Graham is an underhanded GOP dirty trick, and I’m glad the Lincoln Project is around to do it. But did you see their recent anti-Graham ad called “Pathetic”?
There is clearly no love lost between Steve Schmidt and Lindsey Graham.

You are right Lindsey Graham, we hate your guts. We hate the guts of all slimy, gutless, bold face lying, hypocritical politicians. Don’t flatter yourself, you are just one among many.
