The legacy of MAGA will be selfish violent racist ignorance.
Lindsey Graham knew exactly what Trump is and chose to serve him anyway. That is his legacy.

I'm feeling uncharacteristically optimistic today and am hoping for multiple announcements.
Schrödinger's Senator
Mitch McConnell hasnât been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital.
Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare.
The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.
This sequel lacked the humor and style of the first movie. Basically a low effort cash grab by the producers. Might be better to stream it in a few years when we'll be looking back at it. Hopefully justice will find it's feet and the star will be relegated to a box.
Of course the parallels to Dave are there, right down to the bit players.
Frank Langella's Chief of Staff calmly explains that he should be allowed to murder Daveâ"He's not the President. He's an ordinary personâI can kill an ordinary person."
This echoes something I brought up in last week's column about Hollywood Westerns: one of the easiest ways to spot the bad guys is their cavalier attitude about death. The bad guys in Dave talk about killing people; Dave Kovic wants to find them jobs.
That's probably a pretty sure assumption; tho I'm not sure who benefits - or how - by keeping it a secret. His replacement will likely be another goddam Rethuglican.
If he's dead, they get to call a special election which favors the Dems. If they can hold out until some number of days before the regular election (75 I think), then the seat would stay vacant until the regular election. The Kentucky legislature pulled some real fuckery when the Governor (a Democrat) was elected and pulled a lot of the power that was previously held in that seat to appoint a replacement. It is world class hypocrisy and pretty much an overt confession that they only expect the rules to apply to them. When power does finally swing and someone gets the balls to stand up to them, you better have ear plugs, the shrieking will be unbearable.
We might as well just start asserting that Mitch McConnell is dead, and make them prove heâs not. Itâs unlikely that an 84-yr-old found unconscious needing CPR is still alive, although there is the remote possibility heâs vegetative so they donât have to replace him yet.
