The bar is in that collapsed mine in Chile. You need special mining equipment to get lower than that, but God Almighty I swear some of them have their mining hats on, pickaxes in hand.

It’s probably time to call in James Cameron to help raise it again

Well we won’t, as the Qanuts won’t support him. So, a vanity run, really.

I don’t know that I’d go that far when characterizing his record.

Yes, he ultimately ended up certifying the election, but he also signed the Texas v Pennsylvania amicus brief asking the Supreme Court to help throw out millions of votes (despite the suit lacking any sort of standing, and being “constitutionally, legally[,] and factually wrong about Georgia” in the words of Georgia’s AG, which rings pretty true when you read the brief). When he did finally vote to certify, the GOP letter he signed very clearly implies things would have gone differently if he had been allowed to vote for the slate of obvious fraudsters that were stopped before they made it to Congress. There was a long line of fundamental safeguards that prevented the illegal toppling of the government, every one of which was stressed to its breaking point (mostly with Austin Scott’s help), and any of which could have tipped the scales, but Scott wasn’t exactly on the side pushing for Democracy. That said, you’re right. At least he did better than Jordan, I guess?

For the record, Scott’s other political stances are:

• Life begins at conception so abortion at any stage for any reason is murder
• Pro death penalty
• Anti gun control
• Anti same-sex marriage, let alone the raft of other LGBT issues

So… several decades and a few million voters removed from where the actual American population stands, and farther to the right than even mainstream fiscal conservatives, but that’s par for the course these days.
