I have to confess that I really just do not care that the WaPo printed a lie about Trump's phone call Did you take it seriously when it happened? Why? Why would you *not* look at that, roll your eyes, and just assume you're being lied to? I hope you do so next time.
The content of what Trump was actually complaining about cost the GOP the Senate seats. You align with the king when he defends you from the rapacious nobles and their pet mobs but if he fails to do so, then the king finds himself without allies. (laughably GOP as king in this)
