Isn't that like saying, "you might as well die today, you're going to die anyway?"

Mr. Frumm has a political history as a GOP libertarian (freedom mantra). For that reason, I hesitated to post this because, you know "a broken clock".

This Is Trump’s Fault

David Frum 4 days ago
.....snip

Trump has mouthed the slogan “America first,” but he has never acted on it. It has always been “Trump first.” His business first. His excuses first. His pathetic vanity first.

Trump has taken millions in payments from the Treasury. He has taken millions in payments from U.S. businesses and foreign governments. He has taken millions in payments from the Republican Party and his own inaugural committee. He has taken so much that does not belong to him, that was unethical and even illegal for him to take. But responsibility? No, he will not take that.

Yet responsibility falls upon Trump, whether he takes it or not. No matter how much he deflects and insults and snivels and whines, this American catastrophe is on his hands and on his head.

Doesn't wash away all former sins but it does make him an ally in the moment.

Strange times produce strange bedfellows; his current positions on Trump and his odious enablers are spot on.
