  • Hypocrisy and Double Standards are the whole point

    In a previous post I noted how some parts of the GOP Establishment (GOPe) finally seem to be getting a clue that theres is no going back to a pre-Trump Republican party. But do they really get the change, even with articles like the National Review one I referred to in that post? I don’t…
