Quote Of The Day - The Modern Conservative Nirvana

"Suddenly, and again, the reasons why congressional Republicans are willing to let the president* run amuck in so many ways are very clear. While he’s putting on his freak show that so entertains the rubes, and while everyone is amused by the contortions that the investigations of Russian ratfcking are putting him and his people through, in so many other ways, his administration* is modern conservative nirvana: dismantling the social safety net, knuckling the poor and infirm, destroying the administrative state, and making the lives of millions of voiceless people immeasurably worse while they still have the power to do so."  -- Charles P. Pierce, discussing the Rump regime's attacks on Medicaid and public housing, among other depravities taking place under Republican "governance."
