“You’ll recall that Graham once stated if Trump became the Republican nominee for president, ‘the party would be destroyed and they would deserve it’,” Mason said. “But ten years ago, he made a superseding deal to keep his senate seat in a pact signed in blood, which is generally how these things work.”

    Just think about that. Forget the politics of it for a second. They’re hiding a literal corpse. Think of how messed up that is. Like imagine if the manager of a Walmart one day just stopped being visible on the work floor. There was no new manager, and you as a worker were told he’s still the manager. But everybody’s been saying how he’s actually dead in his office which now reeks…and everybody knows. But they keep at the lie. They keep telling you the manager has written you up for insubordination. Normally when that happens he calls you into his office to yell at you. Not this time. This time you’re just handed a write up slip. You ask if this is because you asked if his corpse were rotting in his office, to which they reply there is no corpse. He just has the flu, but he can still see all the cameras and write you up for causing trouble.

    That’s kinda what this feels like. Like being in a walmart that reeks of dead bodies while everyone else acts like everything is normal, while you wonder why nobody is burning this tinderbox to the ground.

      jesus fuckin christ, at least have the decency to put the man in the bakery freezer next to all the ice cream. it’s -32°F. plenty cold enough so we don’t have to smell him.

      that’s such a Walmart thing to do though. a person dies in the store and they don’t do anything about it and just work around them.
