Truth lies in the eye of the beholder. Put Rachel Maddow and Donald Trump in the same room and you’ll have your proof. This is always the rub. This is what we always have to deal with. There are probably many truths, but some emerge as being more consequential than others. Dare one even say universal?
To anyone for whom the rule of law matters, what happened yesterday on Capitol Hill should trigger vehement disgust. Are there standards to which we hold our elected leaders, or not? Whose standards are they, and who abides by them? I’ve had enough of the dueling realities, where nearly half the country thinks Donald Trump is STILL electable, keeps getting a raw deal, and somehow maintains a decent level of public trust. If there is truth in any of that, then I need to keep an eye out for the flying pigs.
The kowtowing is hard to watch, on full display when Trump returned to the scene of the crime, as CNN put it. There was Trump, surrounded by his groupies, who were falling over themselves with adoration and praise, paying tribute to their tainted emperor, hoping to get or remain on the good side of a convicted felon.
I think this is the most sickening thing of all—the swooning House and Senate members, the intentional blindness, the starstruck sycophants who get sucked into the Trump vortex and so readily compromise themselves for a chance to serve such a lowlife, deluded pretender.
