really, until today, the narrative (which was offered in more than one of the books that were rushed out at the end of the administration) was that TFF "improvised" the lines in his speech about marching to the capital. and people were satisfied with that. now it turns out that all of that was bullshit cover. today certainly did feel like there was something very akin to the Butterfield moment. the only problem is that if the other guys (Cipillone, Meadows et al) don't decide to break ranks to save their asses, it can still be dismissed as hearsay. or at least that's my understanding. it's pretty obvious that TFF is pretty fucking scared right about now. it sure might have put the kibosh on his 2024 run. which creates the scary idea that the party just might shift to DeSantis, who might just prove to be a worse disaster, at least policy-wise. he's that much smarter. once again, I recommend that New Yorker profile in last week's issue.
