Lying (to correct worse lies) thus morphs into truth-telling, failing is success (showing how worthless is government), and perfidy to his own Constitutional oath is greatness (because the ends do justify the means).

It's a family affair – Levi Sanders announced his bid for Congress in New Hampshire's 1st District, while Carina Driscoll is running for Mayor of Burlington, Vermont.

The banality of President Trump’s evil has infected huge swaths of the electorate as well as the federal government. Can it be treated?

How much insight is needed to project the frailty of the last many months into an electoral NO on any four year bet?
