Tonight in DC: Kitchen table talks vs. $10k sofa talks

" We will be ok! Thankfully President Biden is helping us bridge this gap financially. We have to move on, for our own sanity, from the circumstances of your mom's death. WE thought her going to a nursing home was OK...because trump and others did not warn us, and it wasn't but there is no answer to that"

and


"Are you willing to give up this cushy life in DC? This Georgetown life style? Our friends? And go back to Mississippi? because I think he's guilty as hell! I know, I said the whole thing was unconstitutional... But I am having a pang of doubt. "

It makes sense from a general perspective.

I can visualize the first conversation easily.

I guess if I was out sofa shopping and I heard that remark or imagined someone buying a crazy expensive sofa saying such things....


It just sounds like MTG or some other depressed Q type.

in your own head but then you realize that no one else is there.

Bottom line point...I am guessing there are plenty of rich Republican senators who may be evaluating it all tonight.

Sometimes I feel like I have missed a lot and I don't know who might be going back to Mississippi, so that is why I asked.

It seemed more universal and yet, I thought I might not be really getting the joke if you know what I mean.

tRump just uses everyone and I bet there ARE a lot of regrets in the Q community and GOP.


Did you hear that Pence is basically homeless due to all the death threats at the Capitol and afterward?

Switch out Indiana with Mississippi and Pence could be having that 10K couch conversation too.
