working hard. I noticed he's left handed (like me). What is it with left handedness and the presidency?

Also we weren't in first class although close to it.

Coming from Miami into DC. My wife and I vacationed in St. Lucia, had a layover in Miami.

It's kind of scary watching people totally oblivious - I recognized him immediately.

get a LOT of media attention

suggest if he's confronted with republican liars and ignorance in media to preface his responses with "well, that's what limbaugh says, but....."

Not just the hosts- but the money behind the hosts.
Like this guy did

https://www.gq.com/story/tucker-carlson-do-it-live/

BREGMAN: You've been taking their dirty money. They're funded by Koch billionaires, you know?

CARLSON: Wait, why don't you tell me how it does work?

BREGMAN: Well, it works by you taking their dirty money. It's as easy as that. You are a millionaire funded by billionaires. That's what you are...You're not part of the solution, Mr. Carlson. You're part of the problem, actually. It's true, right, that all the anchors on Fox News, they're all millionaires. How is this possible? Well, it's very easy! You're just not talking about certain things.
