The move would extend her 36-year House career and continue to freeze her would-be California successors in a long-standing holding pattern.

    So you admit that the original comparison was crap

    Good. My point remains.

      I wasn’t the one making a comparison. The only thing I was saying was that there’s no reason to trust Newsom to appoint someone who’s not as immensely corrupt as himself.

      THAT point (which, again, was the only one I was making) still stands, so you can stow your smugness where the sun doesn’t shine.

        I wasn’t being “smug,” I was merely trying to disambiguate the point under discussion.

        The fact that you took it that way says a lot more about you than it does about me.

          He said, smugly.

          You weren’t trying to disambiguate anything, you were asking a smug rhetorical question and then smugly drawing a false conclusion that you’d already made before I clarified and wouldn’t change for everything.

          You’re being both smugly condescending and stubborn, which says nothing about me 🙄
