KGOP republicans don't do consistency, honesty, ethics, morality, or integrity. They feel they are "special" and above all that stuff.

something like "Seth, don't you know that standard only applies to Democratic judges and politicians. Any Republican lie before today can be written off as a youthful indiscretion."

Impeach him or at the very least, contrary to Trump's selection of Sessions, assure him liars are unfit to serve at Attorney General

And that's partially why I just told people to watch the video. I guess I should have credited SA with a "great find," independent of his characterization.

I don't know how many times he's called something a "game changer," followed by 50+ tweets explaining how the news absolutely, 100% means that Mueller has the goods on Trump.

On this one, I only wanted to give him credit for the video clip. Hell, Ivanka could have posted it without comment and it would still be an awesome clip.
