I was expecting him to diss Jimmy Carter for not having the balls to run against Reagan in 1984.

I'm biased, but this dude running again falls into the "how can we miss you if you don't go away?" void. I mean, he's essentially been running for the past two years, why anyone should care more now is a mystery.

for one this version of Trump is a lot more openly fascist. for two he's way less fun. for three the evidence is mounting that he's actively torpedoing the Republican party so there aren't as many Trumpy loudmouths at Denny's to take advice from. not saying the MSM is gonna learn any lessons but I can see him not getting the clicks he used to.

Yeah, I think he's saying "corridors of power"
― jmm, Wednesday, 16 November 2022 17:40 (one year ago) link
I think he's saying "I wandered lonely as a cloudThat floats on high o'er vales and hills,When all at once I saw a crowd,A host, of golden daffodils;Beside the lake, beneath the trees,Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shineAnd twinkle on the milky way,They stretched in never-ending lineAlong the margin of a bay:Ten thousand saw I at a glance,Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but theyOut-did the sparkling waves in glee:A poet could not but be gay,In such a jocund company:I gazed—and gazed—but little thoughtWhat wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lieIn vacant or in pensive mood,They flash upon that inward eyeWhich is the bliss of solitude;And then my heart with pleasure fills,And dances with the daffodils"

you'd think after working for decades in hotels & offices, the word 'corridor' would come up enough that you would know how to pronounce it, just through osmosis

I like how he keeps stressing the corridors themselves: "They're our corridors." Pretty sure the expression isn't usually truncated like that.
― jmm, Wednesday, 16 November 2022 19:05 (one year ago) link
that's the big lesson of the corridors of power, though. they are out there, and you have to walk in them, take control of them. redecorate them and keep them clean, maybe assign some people to watch over them, keep the lights on.
