New one: The “Raid” of Mar-a-Lago, which Republicans say is the kind of thing that only happens in third-world countries. Um, I don’t recall Trump getting dragged naked from a truck with his testicles cut off, or, in fact, anything violent happening to him at all. In fact, this was a legally issued search warrant signed by a federal judge, and sought by the head of the FBI, who was appointed by Trump himself. But to them, it’s the end of the world. ---

He’s a Republican, fully able to talk out both sides of his ass. The really good ones can do it in the same sentence. It was driven home for me when then-Governor Janet Brewer proudly signed [SB 1070](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_SB_1070) into law stating that the Federal government was not doing enough to protect international borders so Arizona had to, then a few months later, slow-walked implementation of [Proposition 203](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Arizona_Proposition_203) allowing medical marijuana, saying she was afraid of the consequences in bucking Federal policy. ---

Also as usual he is totally and completely wrong. Spending money on the IRS actually raises money and so reduces the deficit, it also doesn’t raise taxes. All it does is make scofflaws actually have to pay the taxes they owe. Of course naturally, actually having to obey the law is seen by Republicans as a horribly unfair burden. ---
