Cynical, Self-Defeating Spectacle

[whell]

This one phrase defines perfectly the behavior I've seen from the "disloyal opposition" since the election. I can't claim the phrase: it was used here in describing MSNBC's idiocy with the "reveal" of Trump's tax return....from 2005!

Its amazing the depths that folks have sunk. Its one thing to protest and appropriately voice opposition. Its quite another thing to ratchet that up to throwing anything you can find at the wall to see if it will stick. The "Russia thing" has been an on-going example of continuing to report on a non-story. Looks like MSNBC wants to take the Prez's tax returns in that same direction.

It's hilarious how the tax thing so spectacularly and completely backfired. Not only did this remind me of Geraldo Rivera's idiotic televised venture into Al Capone's vaults, but it also continued to demonstrate the grand hypocrisy of the left. The left loves to demonize the rich as greedy folks who don't pay their taxes. Yet we find Trump - at one point accused of not paying taxes - paid taxes at a higher rate than MSNBC/Comcast (24%), higher than Obama (18.7%), and higher than Chuck Schumer (11.3%).

Just perfect, poetic justice.
