Seems like it should be pretty clear for normal people

Poppy Bush
Bush41 died late last night.
Poppy gets points for the good things he did, not the least of which were passing the ADA and making some moves to get the federal budget in line - the tax increases he let through would cost him dearly in 1992.
And we should remember his efforts to fix some of the shit he helped create. Noriega's Panama comes to mind. And Saddam - to an extent, even though he got an awful lot of Iraqis (and Persians) butchered simply by letting that shit go on in the 80s.
And there are other little gems as well.
By that same token, we can lay a good bit of the blame for lots of things at his feet. eg: The other Narco States of Central America that were strengthened because he refused to pursue the idiots who gave us Iran-Contra. And a lot of the shit the CIA pulled under his directorship that helped create conditions that eventually led to the blowback that came home to us on 9/11.
So I won't eulogize him, partly because I didn't know him, but mostly because in this country, we're supposed to be able to recognize that while some presidents are obviously better presidents than other presidents - and far better people too - they're all humans, they're way short of perfection, and not one of them deserves to be fitted for a halo.

All Man
Daddy State Awareness Rule 2:
Every boast is an admission of inadequacy

The piece goes on to lay out the case, and the graphic is pretty amazingly unsurprising in how closely it matches their Fragility Index with the way we know these guys usually vote.
Every boast is an admission of inadequacy
WaPo, Eric Knowles and Sarah DiMuccio:
From boasting about the size of his penis on national television to releasing records of his high testosterone levels, President Trump’s rhetoric and behavior exude machismo. His behavior also seems to have struck a chord with some male voters. See, for example, the “Donald Trump: Finally Someone With Balls” T-shirts common at Trump rallies.
But our research suggests that Trump is not necessarily attracting male supporters who are as confidently masculine as the president presents himself to be. Instead, Trump appears to appeal more to men who are secretly insecure about their manhood. We call this the “fragile masculinity hypothesis.” Here is some of our evidence.

Not those tweets - those other tweets. There's always a tweet.

Credico has deleted that Twitter account, and now says he was just mad and wanted to fuck with Trump and Stone.
OK, fellas, but y'know what? This is not a fucking game. Assholes.

Remember the date. 29-NOV-2018
For me, yesterday was roughly the equivalent of the day I was sitting in my mom's kitchen watching the hearings on a really old portable B&W TV, as Alexander Butterfield told the Senate Watergate Committee about Nixon recording conversations in the Oval office.

Or, as Joyce Vance put it:
I took this picture this morning after I finished reading the Cohen information & plea agreement because I wanted to make sure I could always remember the moment when it became clear Mueller was preparing to lay down a royal flush. pic.twitter.com/wA5JSKfhxk— Joyce Alene (@JoyceWhiteVance) November 30, 2018
We'll see what we see. There are several good-sized fish on their way to the cannery right now, but this ain't over until we get the big fish in the boat.
Stay frosty, kids. This is possibly the most dangerous of times.
