The fact that George Santos- or whatever his name is- is still standing, still a member of Congress, should be an indication to anyone who’s paying attention that the Republican Party has indeed lost its way. No bargain is beneath them.
To quote Audie Cornish, from an interview with Stephen Colbert the other night, Santos is the logical conclusion to the end of shame. It’s anything goes anymore, exacerbated by a lack of accountability and the notion that someone who’s been accused of a serious gaff can simply ride it out, tweet through it, proclaim with as much indignation as one can muster that the media are liars, and it’s all about enemies out to get you.
There’s no place for introspection, or making the effort to sort wheat from chaff.
Who says Donald Trump, the master of doubling down, isn’t a good teacher? He continues to leave his mark, like skid marks in the tighty-whities.
