You know how Russians who fail to wholeheartedly support Putin seem to "fall" from tall

buildings, drown or die after sipping tea?

Do you think we are any more than---maybe---one election from seeing such "coincidences" in our nation?

that seemingly had no impact on him. He certainly did little for those he represented, despite some reportedly horrendous episodes during that time. In Congress, he advocated for keeping GITMO open and even expanding.

So, I think he's got the sociopathy down pat. He might even be willing to greenlight what Trump himself would not. Just speculating...
