1. While his nephew...

Indiana Senator Todd (asswipe) Young continues to try and destroy it!

2. Saved it, or just gave us a reprieve for a few years to keep trying to save it?

The threat of losing our democracy is still there.

3. I MIGHT be the only person on DU that liked Quayle

No, obviously I did not like his politics- oh hell no. I never would have voted for him.

But, there was always something decent about him- the man had principals (of course, I know exactly zero about him over the past three decades).

He truly seemed like one of the last "normal" economic conservatives. I don't know- I kind of miss that breed of "Republican." At least they stood for something- these new clowns are just that- insidious halfwitted fools that just scream about everything- with no platform other than to control women and anyone of a different color.

7. Quayle was one of the original signatories of PNAC.

That alone should disqualify him from being liked. He also ordered the flow of a river be reduced so he could taking his kids on a canoe trip instead of simply going to a less-vigorous river.

Any apparent "decency" or "principles" was just an act.

9. :( Oh effing hell

I did not remember that crap.

He was "before the interwebs" for me.

You are correct.

4. General Milley, Speaker Pelosi, Chuck Schumer probably were ahead of Quayle

not to mention Joe Biden

5. We're in the April Fools timeline

- Donald Trump was President and has a cult-like following, rather than being the annoying douche from The Apprentice
- Dan Quayle saved the nation
- Alex Jones is mainstream
- The owner of My Pillow is a public political figure who is taken seriously (by idiots)
- Half of the nation thinks vaccines are dangerous or are a plot by Bill Gates to implant microchips in your body

6. Yep, truly Bizzaro World.

[question everything]

10. On "Back to the future" when he told the inventor that Reagan was the

president, the reaction was: and who is the vice president? Jerry Lewis?

8. He didn't really save anything,

except maybe saving Mullah Pence from making a bigger fool of himself than he already was.

I doubt he cared at all about saving democracy, he simply didn't know of a way for Pence to pull the scam off.

11. He's Republican, but he knows his Constitution pretty well. I wouldn't count on another ...

... 'miracle moment' in this life time.

12. Correct, and one does need to give credit where credit is due

.."Even a broken clock", you know.
