Wyatt ZIRP @wyattzirp.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I can certainly understand and sympathize with this view but I remain pro-stove-touching, a position 2026 has vindicated. You can't let Trump take credit for victories because voters are desperate to grant it to him. 120

Wyatt ZIRP @wyattzirp.bsky.social · 18/09/2026An underrated difference between 2008 and 2028 is that even as the Bush Admin grew even more discredited, John McCain's brand and history with Bushland put plausible distance between them and allowed him to run relatively untainted in popular imagination. No one like that in the current GOP 110
