The Elephants' Burial Ground

Now in command of the House, the Senate and the White House, Republicans have passed a huge tax cut for corporations and the wealthy, then passed a debt-ballooning budget. But wait -- weren't these the same people whining about the deficit during the Obama years?

Paul Krugman:
"[Republicans] never really cared about debt and deficits; it was a fraud all along. All that has changed is the fact that a Republican now sits in the White House."

I once thought that our problem was that Republicans are congenital liars and hypocrites.  I thought it was shameful. But compared to Trump, they are pillars of Truth.

If Trump testifies before the Mueller probe, according to one former Federal prosecutor, "He will commit perjury before he's finished giving his name."
