The past weekend was so graphic.
On the one hand, Cheney incarnates the Republicans’ brazen defense of every type of illegal and seditious behavior. The vice-torturer-in-chief would do it all again with bells on.
On the other side of the aisle–
the Democrats, herded by their President and alleged “leader” of their party, pre-emptively capitulate to the GOP, passing a horrendous spending bill that devastates the Democrats’ own Dodd-Frank bill, one of a truly meager number of legislative achievements notched up during the Obama presidencies.
When even Nancy Pelosi refused to trot along with the president this time, you knew that is one bill that reeked.
