“Grotesque charisma,” indeed. Perfectly describes his pull and ability to enthrall. I’ve always thought JD was way more controllable. I won’t allow myself be optimistic about any of this yet and am keeping my eyes focused on Johnson. If and when he caves, it will be game over for the pedophile President.

Oh my, the hits keep coming! I want to write like you Jack, when I grow up, geez.

So this angle on JD is totally fascinating and counterintuitive for me. I think I've felt so paralyzed by fear and rage that I could not see what you have described. You've persuaded me. I'm wondering now if JD will actually be pretty transparent and pathetic in any attempt at instilling gravitas, since his public record is so full of flip flopping opinions and junior varsity presence on the national scene. A total useful pol for the titans of back-room scheming. No charisma. No mystique. And he's married to the daughter of immigrants all of whom have brown skin; well now, fancy that MAGAs!
