Where are all our Zone Conservatives, rope-a-doping, dodging and weaving and explaining this all to us, making excuses for their Man, invoking Ayn Rand, the Founding Fucking Fathers, employing all their righteous indignation and snarkily explaining to us, with impeccable logic, how biased and ignorant we are?

What will baffle future historians about these times is not Trump’s incompetence, stupidity and malevolence. It is possible to conceive of a set of circumstances that could have brought an equally unsuitable and unqualified Democrat to the White House.

No, what is simply astonishing is how the GOP has fallen into line and continues to support him and make excuses for him. Oh yeah, there are a few mavericks, but for the most part, they are all signed up for the program.
