(118,501 posts)is being interviewed or on the show as a panelist. Then I read that he is in fact trying not to be humorous as a senator the better to have gravitas and to not be accused by the GOP of being just a comedian. I certainly got the feeling tonight he could have easily punched through to many more a horrid truth about Trump or the GOP. But he is a politician and so has to toe a line.

Not quite as eloquent as the Scots with their insults but short and effective none the less.

(118,501 posts)terrorism but then nothing is done about making background checks on all gun sales mandatory. He said that didn't make sense. I say the medium is the message in that fear is an end unto itself for the GOP. They don't want to stop gun deaths. They just want to control their base with fear. There is that old analogy in the study of risk that says the chances of someone dying at an airport because of a fire is minimal. Yet people want to make sure there is a fire department ready at the airport. So there are fire departments at airports. And they almost never get a call. So they just sit there doing nothing. But people want to have the public purse pay for full time fire departments at all airports. The point is that people are irrational when it comes to risk. And the GOP know this. Some things 'seem' more likely than others. So no gun laws resulting in 45,000 dead or wounded a year (and pro gun voters are created because then everybody has to have a gun). While thousands of refugees are barred from entering the US because of terrorism when less than 6000 have died due to foreign terrorism in the last 40 years (and anti-terrorism voters are created). So it seems disjointed but it actually makes perfect sense for the GOP and Trump.
