Like, I mean, look, Thomas Massey is not going to be a congressman much longer.
The irony is when you meet a lot of these politicians,
um, privately, not only will they tell you a bunch of things that they won't say in public, but they will also tell you how much they don't like their job.
Like, they fucking hate it.
Like, it's a miserable job.
They don't like their colleagues.
They think there's a lot of, you know, performance, and they have to spend all this time fundraising.
They don't like the job.
And yet, when it comes down to these votes that seem to me to be very clearly conscience-based or very stark moral choices, um,
They're like, well, I gotta do what I know is wrong to keep this job that I don't fucking like.
I'm like, I don't get it at all.
It doesn't make any sense to me, right?
But the problem is, I remember I was sitting in the Senate dining room talking to a Senator and I was saying like, hey, why don't you guys, you and I probably have very different politics, but I was like, why don't you know this Trump thing is crazy?
Like, what are we doing here?
and um i was like why don't you speak out about it you know and um and he goes see that guy over there and he's like yeah and he's like that guy was going to be head of the cia and he's and i go okay and he's like and then uh i could probably say who it was he said that that uh the white house was like adult daycare over there i think it was senator corker and he's like
he's not even going to be a senator anymore.
You know, he was like, that guy was in line for the next office, the next level, and he made a comment, and it's not happening anymore.
And the guy was basically saying, like, that's why.
And he was laying it out, like, it is crazy, because, like, me as a citizen, I'm like, you're one of the, you know, hundred most powerful people in the world, and...
That's not how they see themselves.
