    Yup, just like President McKinley saw his grand scheme for crazy tariffs result in huge political dividends.

    Oh wait, he didn’t. Because he realized during his second term that he had made a huge mistake with that. And he started to reverse course on it (before he was assassinated).

      Well maybe this time it should be quicker than that. The annoying orange will never come to his senses because he doesn’t have any.

    the main difference between ‘hope’ and ‘pipe dreams’ is that one can actually happen, and the other gives beggars horses…

    Damn what a poor use of “very”, it doesn’t increase the impact here, it just deflates the entire sentence.

    Kind of impressed how elegant of an example this is of using “very” in a completely impotent way.

    The ONLY reason to add “very” to that sentence is if you are full of shit and you know it but you are still half-assing some kind of rhetorical defense.
