Someday he will be gone, but people will remember what you were willing to say and do on his behalf

[Demovictory9]

Washington today suffers from multiple deficits: The budget deficit, a failure to match resources to appetite, measured in hard dollars and red ink. The institutional deficit, the misalignment of national needs and political capacity to respond, displayed in legislative gridlock and partisan bickering. But also, and maybe most worrying, the decency deficit, etched in acid sound bites and accusatory tweets that forsake stating facts for impugning motive.

This deficit of decency, of course, is trickle-down, with President Trump as its most masterful practitioner. And so, because presidential indecency no longer surprises, we scarcely pause to note the latest iteration. And, in turn, we become numbed to its presence when practiced by others, who may be in less exalted positions but who ought to know better. We shrug and move on.

Not this column. It is both a lament about the latest manifestation of the decency deficit and a celebration of a recent pinpoint of decency. And it is a reminder to courtiers brought low by Trump: Some reputational damage is beyond repair. Someday he will be gone, but people will remember what you were willing to say and do on his behalf.

The immediate target of this advice is White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who took to “Fox & Friends” Monday to urge the confirmation of Mike Pompeo to be secretary of state. “Look, at some point, Democrats have to decide whether they love this country more than they hate this president,” Sanders said, thus equating support for the president’s nominee with patriotism.

1. We will remember the scumbugs forever that have brought ...

mockery, shame and disgrace to the centuries old traditions of law and order that have made this country so great. Sure, there are problems that need some serious roll-up-the-sleeves and fix efforts, but I will feel better when some politicians, abusing this system of checks and balances, are brought to justice by this same system.

Sanders is ignorant to the point of insulting her fellow Americans when she claimed that supporting RUMP's nominees = patriotism. How pathetic and disgusting, and insulting. No wonder her daddy didn't really make it anywhere else except Arkansas, a large portion of the country rejected these fruitcakes and their twisting around of facts and made up nonsense to fit their agenda.
