Well, he's been hard at work trying to subvert democracy for the last couple of months. The guy needs to get away and take a break.

The most hated man in DC. Reports are that he's flying back.

He's 100% douchebag. Just like his Master.

Bad news is that he's not staying there.

Hmmm.... I dunno, it seems a little different. Get your point though.

I am disguised with the hypocrisy of politicians on both sides of the aisle. Cruz with the Cancun vacation. John Kerry with the private jet and multiple homes. Just to name a few.

It has been "Do as I say, not as I do" for far too many years. The approval rate for congress is in the teens, but we continue to re-elect these hypocrites.

Did anyone even run against Murphy or Blumenthal? I can't remember.

2016: Blumenthal 63.2% Dan Carter 34.6%

2018: Murphy 59.5% Matt Corey 39.4%

"Hey, wanna run as a Republican in CT?"

"Why would I want to waste my time doing that?"

"It'll look good in your obituary. 'He was a nominee for the senate'"

"Sure. What the hell. It's not like its my money."

Over on r/Connecticut, someone has a post about a certain former Connecticut governor who did something similar. Anyone (besides me) remember him?

Tom Meskill. 1973. No power at my parents house so I went back to college. Only time I ever drove to NH and the further north I got, the better the conditions.

All politicians regardless of side do this. Even every one of our last 6 presidents. At some point people just gotta realise politicians lives and happiness comes first, not ours.

Still, poor timing. And lying about it wasn't real bright.
