48. I Have to Wonder

Sun Jul 12, 2026, 04:39 AM

Yesterday

What would have happened to Lindsey if he had not been blackmailed by Trump. He was not the same person ten years ago that he became. He was always a warmongering conservative, but he was an intelligent, affable guy with a sharp sense of humor. Not sure why, but I had a soft spot in my heart for Lindsey - until the Kavanaugh hearings. Condolences to the family.
