OK, so now our migration is mostly complete as per this announcement, though the Heir will check over any places that still need to be part of the migration, the Heir gets to take his downtrodden state from the last eight years or so, and send a shot across the bow in the form of a skepticism regarding the progressives' apparent book plug on behalf of Bob Woodward.  To make a long story short, the Heir's observed the progressives' citation of Bob Woodward's new book as an apparent account of "how close we came."  The Heir must point out, however, that history is replete with all sorts of dodged bullets, as well as hit bullets.  He's concerned that the progressives' only contention about "how close we came" comes in the form of a phone call Mike Pence had with Dan Quayle.  Again the Heir points out that politicians have phone calls with each other all the time, and it's no use fetishizing any one phone call.  They don't cite any other calls Mike Pence may have had that day that influenced his decision, though what the Heir reads in the citation which the progressives apparently missed was that going into that phone call, he sees Mike Pence as *already having made up his mind* that he was going to follow convention and oversee the certification of the results.  He just needed reassurance.  Even if he didn't follow convention, the members of Congress likely didn't need his participation, since the Heir's not aware of any constitutional provision that *requires* a vice-president to be present if certification of results were to have any validity.  It just needed what the constitution says it needed.  It's grievous to the Heir that the progressives apparently used Bob Woodward's new book to avoid responsibility for having failed, for a third time, to uphold the rights of survivors, because this all happened at the same time gymnasts testified on Capitol Hill as to the abuse they suffered at the hands of Larry Nassar, and the progressives made no attempt to add to the public record the shameful accounts of how Cosby and Cuomo got off scot-free, as per the Heir's previous accounts thereof here on this shares base through my writing as the Happy Bachelor.  So now it's Cosby, and then Cuomo, and now it's Larry Nassar.  Three strikes and the progressives are out, having failed on both moral and justice grounds.  And now that we've migrated our edutainment series to primarily talk about Tropical Soul And Principle, whatever the progressives have to say for themselves now, the Heir, the Tropical Soulvangelical, gets to dispute each and every one expected protestation on their part in response to being criticized as above.

"Where were you when the survivors needed you?  Three times!"
