I just content myself with baiting conservatives. They're so divorced from reality these days, even the mildest proclamation of their future gets them frothing at the mouth.

And congrats to the Democrats as well. Always nice when the other team commits an unforced error.

Exactly. If that's what he deserves, then truth will out.
And I have seen an awful lot of people saying that he wasn't worth any particular effort to get back, which is pretty close to "let him rot." That's just mind-boggling to me.
