A Facebook reader asked if there has ever in our history been a U.S. president so corrupt and amoral as this one, and our resident American history expert and presidential connoisseur, HCR, answered, “No.”
In a video talk, HCR described how Joe McCarthy invented the political tactic of dispensing with debate about facts, and instead just kept pumping out lie after lie, forcing the rule followers and media to spin their wheels defending against them, so all he had to do was stay one lie/accusation ahead. It seems that trump and the Republican sycophants have upped the game to a multitude of attacks that are actions, not just words, with Executive Orders, DOJ executive advocacy and protection, and disabling federal functions by not filling job positions, as for the Census, USPS, diplomat corps, etc. This keeps the media, the public, any semblance of oversight authorities, DOJ, ACLU, state and local officials, and watchdog organizations all constantly scrambling to keep up.
It would be good for the voices of reason, us rule followers, to be proactive in setting the rules of engagement instead of responding to the barrage of attacks. I guess that’s called the Vote. A vote to definitively terminate this administration of corruption and amorality. While staying ever vigilant, with perseverance, and supporting each other. 🇺🇸

And let's not forget Roy Cohn, McCarthy's (and Trump's) fixer. Websters' dictionary has a picture of Roy Cohn where it says, "Scumbag". Or it should.
