They’ll have to keep the location of Chump’s burial site a secret. Too much chance of desecration.

Better burial at sea, like Osama bin Laden, to prevent it becoming a shrine.

Damn damn damn damn…choosing not to post my thoughts on that. Getting a little too close to advocating/wishing. I hate that most of all about Trump. He awakens the very worst part of my nature, turns me into someone I try very hard not to be.

> Sometimes it’s the “small” stuff that boggles my mind the most. Things that would have been treated as multiday scandal stories in the past are not “above the fold” in this era. Like Chuck Grassley, a major Republican senator and not one known to be a Trump critic, saying [Trump’s comments](https://apnews.com/2de8cf279ce642dd92567aa6d21b288b) on wind power were “idiotic”. Can you imagine the uproar if a prominent Democratic senator had said that about Obama? But now it’s like “well, yeah, he’s sort of an idiot, we all know that, so…” :smack:

Well, Obama wasn’t an idiot by any meaningful standard so it would indeed be weird for someone of standing to say that. What your example shows is that even an organization like the Republican party has a threshold for tolerating buffoonery. It’s a generous one, but it’s still a threshold, and that’s encouraging.
