Remember James Traficant congressman in Ohio

He shot from the hip I liked him was independent took no crap from anyone. I wanted to believe he was working for us and even as he went to prison I felt he got railroaded by Republicans. It turns out in the end he was out for himself with bribes money laundering and fake hair ...sound familiar, but will Drumpf go to prison.

You're right, though. He became a player in the Tea Party movement after he was released from prison.

Then he died.

No doubt, though, he'd be a Trump supporter if he didn't kick the bucket in 2014.

He really went out with a bang. I remember seeing his final hearing in Congress and thinking he was the nuttiest guy I'd ever seen in government. Sadly, he would hardly get a second glance from me nowadays. That's how I expect the Q-Anon woman from GA to go out, if she doesn't blow herself up on the Capitol steps. The crazy people in her district will probably keep sending her up there until she does.
