Ted Lieu
@tedlieu

Dear @PressSec Sarah Sanders: How about sending us the tax returns of @POTUS as required by law. If we are not smart enough to understand them, we will send them back. Pinky promise.

I am smart enough to understand @realDonaldTrump is gutting preexisting conditions coverage.

Well, I'm sure they could ask for help from the lobbyists that actually wrote the tax code.

Not that it would make a damned bit of difference. It would just be a different face spewing crap.

Can you imagine, though, if a press secretary for Obama had called Congress stupid? POX Noise would be demanding their resignation. As would any GOP "leader" like McConnell or former, worthless speaker Ryan.

Since the administration has wholly given up on daily press briefings perhaps she no longer feels like such a shameless hypocrite.

None of them do! They have no shame because they believe that the ends justify the means - ANY means. They are arrogantly righteous about grossly immoral behavior.

I don't think so.

I think she, her father and Pence are the "It's okay if I lie for God" type. They probably, sincerely believe they are doing their God's work. That HE (not a she in any way) will forgive them for lying because they were just doing their human best to spread the word. To help bring all us heathens to the light.

Sadly, as comical as that sounds I'm sure it is accurate.

The term went from being a "medical" term to one that is purely an insult and degrading of people.

There are plenty of other words, like "deplorable" to describe Republicans acting evilly.

...is not one's fault.

So, I will agree, MAGAts and Trump enablers are stupid past all belief -- but they chose that state of being. And they are *holes.

People who can't keep up,with the rest of us and need special assistance to get on in life -- they didn't choose that. And most are pretty nice human beings.
