The Pedophile and His Shiny Objects

I've always assumed his colorblind....

That generation had a weird complex about it, probably because of the draft and the military always cares about it.

But for whatever reason a lot of guys his age lie about it or are even in denial.

But they're frequently attracted to literal shiny I jects because of that deficiency in seeing colors. If red blends in, the flashiest color is gold or chrome.

I know the article isn't really about that, but it's less interesting than why trump is literally fixated on anything shiny

No: it's written by Josh Marshall, in exactly his style, touching on themes he's been discussing for a long time.

Probably written by Josh Marshall himself. He's been around a lot longer than anything except Markov Chain generators.
