It's good to see bipartisan camaraderie but it's a shame it's between the two worst examples of the major parties.
This reported move by Trump makes no sense at all. It's a terrible move if Trump does this. Also, with Blago being on Trump's TV show, there is more than a whiff of personal favoritism in this.
You would think, right? Trump is feeling sympathy for a guy who tried to sell a US Senate seat to the highest bidder. Can you imagine the political fallout for a sitting president doing such a thing? Yet here he is, doing it. Can the quality of the voters possibly have fallen this far? I guess we'll find out in 2020.
We're in dystopian sci-fi territory here. Could anyone of the pre-21st century imagine things in the USA getting so bad that a sitting president could possibly avoid political suicide by voicing support for a guy who attempted to sell a US Senate seat? Is Mad Max any stranger than this?
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
