Hi LG,
Yes, as you said, the power of the purse is mighty. I suspect many in NYC voted for Hill, so they’ll still go to the play. At least one person wrote in to F&F and said they have had tickets for months and now they don’t want to go. F&F folks have said the tickets are VERY pricey.
Whorealdo and others are talking about Jeff Sessions and some comments he apparently made 30 years ago.
General “Mad Dog” Mattis is meeting with Trump today. I couldn’t remember much about him so did a little research this a.m. He reminds me a little of Patton (even looks a little like him) - who, as you know, is one of Trump’s favorite generals. I think he’d make a great Sec of Defense.
For those like me that needed more info:

FWIW, here’s an article from the Atlantic (not a conservative mag by any stretch) from 2010. They call his comments “Hair Raising” and I didn’t think they were:
16 Most Hair-Raising General Mattis Quotes

Here’s another #mattisism I didn’t see in the 16:
“Find the enemy that wants to end this experiment (in American democracy) and kill every one of them until they’re so sick of the killing that they leave us and our freedoms intact.”
He is the real deal!
Was this before, or after he DESTROYED the Alabama Klan-RATs?
Wow, everyone one of the 16 statements just seemed like simple common sense to me...wouldn’t call any of them hair-raising. But then I was born well before the snowflake generation and the safe- space journalists of today.
