it's also vv funny that Elon has so little to say about Hinojosa as TX, who would have much more direct power over him & SpaceX, I think because he can't even conceptualize losing the governor's mansion.

seeing Elon go on a multi-day crashout about Talarico has really highlighted how psychologically devastating it would be to Republicans if they lost Texas. So much of their self-identity is tied to repping Texas as the anti-California and would be shattered if the state even tipped blue.

Lee is also amusing because there's decades worth of evidence, which iirc is all based on newspaper reports and books etc based on things he said sixty years ago etc And as you say nobody is going to investigate 'notable veteran who did impressed things, also might have bent the truth on occasion'

I do think "massively exaggerating your experiences when you have an impressive CV" is a good bit to be fair. See also Christopher Lee, a real teller of tall tales who did neverthless have a fairly impressive war record
