I think Donald Trump was asking too much of the Senate to confirm Matt Gaetz. On Purpose.

I’m reminded of this story: A man walks into his boss’s office and says boss I want a 20% raise. the boss says i’ll give you 15%. The man walks away smiling because he would have been happy with 10%.

“I’m reminded of this story: A man walks into his boss’s office and says boss I want a 20% raise. the boss says i’ll give you 15%. The man walks away smiling because he would have been happy with 10%.”

NY City 50 or so years ago:

CITY: “We’re broke, so we’re going to raise the subway fare from 75 cents to $1.25”

PUBLIC: “Way too high!!! We cannot afford that!!!” (back then minorities also were expected to pay the fare, by the way)

CITY: “Ok, we hear you, only One Dollar.”

PUBLIC: “Whew!!! That was close.”
