Al Franken began his political career by writing about the mendacity of the Right Wing Wurlitzer in the book with the same title as this post.
How sad that the day he had to resign saw this little nugget from the WaPo. Trump is a profoundly, profoundly dishonest person. As the story notes, he is also a liar who uses his lies to be cruel and belittle people.
I'll say again and as many times as I need to. Donald Trump is the logical end point of two decades of the Right creating a narrative about the world that is false and divisive. The tax "plan" worming its way through Congress is proof enough that the entire Republican Party lives in a world of lies and ignorance.
Sorry, Comity Police, but that's just how it is. And, no, David Brooks, it wasn't caused by Trump. It has been there all along.
