To a particular definition of the word āhereā, sure they do. If by āhereā, you mean āany stratosphere in which the collapse of civil society has any knock-on effect to them, their friends or their family, or makes any of them in any way poorerā, of course they donāt.
As far as I can tell, the current wave of predatory oligarchs who seem to have infested the GOP seem to have examined their counterparts in Russia and thought āhey, they got rich off the collapse of the state; why canāt we do the same thing too? Thatās the American Way!ā

At least he didnāt give a specific number, not that he does specifics.
I had a client tell me that I shouldnāt feel bad about not understanding his instructions, because his IQ was so high. Then he named a number which is about 10 points below mine. I kept my mouth shut, and just smiled and nodded, because he pays fast and his checks always clear. If it makes him happy to think Iām not that smart, thatās fine, I just round up on estimates and invoicesā¦ and that makes me happy.
My guess is that no one has ever measured the cheetoās actual IQ, because the test takes hours and requires paying attention. That said, 80 seems like a realistic guess.

What will it take? How badly do the Republicans want to give up control? He could lick Putinās boot soles before the mid-term elections and Mitch would be up there indignantly defending the action. Jan 2019? Might be a whole different story.

These are the āI love my country but not my governmentā types. It makes sense to them.

These days, I can most certainly relate to that line of thinking. The difference is, my government is currently a nonfunctional garbage fire thatās been doing its best to take away my human rights and healthcare; the previous government had a black guy. Comme ci comme ca

Thereās a tendency to look at government as meaning just the part in charge, and it makes it easier to forget how important they are. But even now the US government does a myriad of things keeping the country intact. Heck, the judicial branch thatās been holding Trump back is as much a part of government as he is.
Likewise, Iāve heard a lot of people condemn the UN as entirely functionless based solely on the security council. I donāt think they normally remember things like UNESCO, UNICEF, or WHO are part of it.

This is absolutely true. I should clarify that the executive and legislative branches of our government are currently having a difficult time being whatsoever productive or helpful, and seem to be actively working against many peopleās best interests at the moment. The judicial branch is, to their frustration, doing its job of checks and balances very well. Kudos to the men who, over 200 years ago, came up with ways to prevent lawmakers from being kings.
