   Al Franken's interview with Lindsey Graham was fascinating. Graham bent himself out of shape squirming to seem somewhat reasonable and humane but not too reasonable in case someone from his own party were watching, and the acrobatics of that was really a sight.

     @Moon Oh yeah, Graham is a wormtongue. He joked to Franken "[If you're going to Puerto Rico with your family, take your chance to hold two fundraisers: One for the statehood people and one for the anti-statehood people. They never talk to each other!]"

     Funny joke, but one wonders if it wasn't ha ha only serious.

     @clacke this is a situation where he's a blood-soaked warmonger and Trump was against going into Syria and said Iraq was a insane loss of treasure and American lives, so the reasonableness is probably superficial.

     Al Franken discussing the interview the day after: "If Bernie Sanders was running against Trump, they should go 'oh well, at least we want someone who believes in the country, believes in our system' [ . . . ] I don't think [Trump] wins, but I'd rather someone else be the nominee and lose."

     Yep.

     @clacke I will accept internet friend until we have a beer, hopefully in 2024. It will happen even if I have to fly to China, which I totally can do.

     @Moon I am your dear acquaintance and internet friend until we have that beer next year. Then we'll be friends. 😉

     And thank you, same. It's good to have someone reasonable with contrasting opinions for grounding. 💜

     @clacke I could pick apart their mutual support for immigration and for the ukraine war (has he ever opposed a war lol) but you probably know what i would say.
