She doesn’t get mentioned abroad a lot. I think it is in part because some of the issues she’s involved with (such as charter schools) are so different from other places’ systems that any reference would need a lot of background. Same reason that politicians who make a point of fighting UHC don’t get mentioned: the notion of someone fighting UHC takes a while to digest, for those who are either used to UHC or wishing their country’s relatively-new UHC were up to par with the older ones. ---

Who are the most alarming leaders of the Catholic Church in America? (The former cardinal in New York who is now hiding in the Vatican.) Thank you all. ---

Sara Saunders (the artist formerly known as Hucklebee-Saunders), like Sean Spicer before her, seems to be a hostage in some sort of battered woman, Stockholm syndrome thing. I have more sympathy for them than anything else. I am having trouble with Musk. He seems to “always be doing things, yet has done very little, great success that will change the world is always just around the corner and always will be.” That, his drug use and his weird charges against the scuba diver guy. He seems to be some sort of Bond villain in the larval stage. ---

There’s no real prominent Catholic clergy that I can think of, aside from the Pope. They don’t appear in front of cameras and run their mouths. I think they learned a long time ago to keep a low profile, especially with all the altar boy scandals going on. Sarah Huckleberry Sanders is a Trump enabler, like Kellyanne Conway. She wasn’t coerced into the role. She embraces it and lies the way Trump wants her to. Put her on the list. I would also add Michael Avenatti. He looks for every opportunity to be as loud as Trump. Stormy Daniels, not so much, since she gets fucked on camera for a living and dug her hole a long time ago. Brett Kavanaugh is pushing a lot of buttons lately. Ted Cruz deserves a mention. He was the most obnoxious Republican before Trump came along, but he still holds his own as a lingering cancer. ---

**Alex Jones** is somebody I would ignore as a fringe loony if our president didn’t believe and quote him. Whoever writes the **Wayfair** TV jingles keeps me diving for the mute button. **Michael Avenatti** , the Stormy Daniels lawyer, has an aura of annoyingness that overwhelms everything he says and does. **Mitch “Yertle” McConnell.** I rarely actually hate anybody, but Mitch is striving to make my list. ---

Jim Bakker isn’t much of a household name nowadays, but he does have a podcast and a You Tube channel, which is really just a front for selling 5-gallon buckets filled with survival rations. ---
