Zeldin's mine and he's slick. Been sending out press releases and been on local nooz about how unfair all this is, and he's got the Hamptons on his list if he fucks it up. Huge taxes and huge donors there. Other than that, he's been a Trumpster all along.

(22,913 posts)I'm sure that's true of at least most of them. At the very least any Republican who wanted to separate him or herself from this nightmare would have had to be a loud, early, public and sharp voice against it from the start, not a quiet "I've decided to vote against this bill" whisperer when it didn't matter. Maybe there's a minor profile in courage among that bunch, maybe not, but I do know Faso sure as hell wasn't one.
