Both Sides! Mike Rogers Follows 'The Rules' For Avoiding GOP Responsibility

Both Sides! Mike Rogers Follows 'The Rules' For Avoiding GOP Responsibility

These rules are from Driftglass, and they are a very helpful guide when you are watching a conservative on a day when the news for their party is very very bad for their side, for instance when the very popular and totally legitimate President Gives-No-More-F*cks hands your party a completely deserved ass-whoopin on live coast-to-coast TV:

1.You are not going to talk about the past. Particularly any successes the Democrats have had cleaning up Republican messes, like getting Osama Bin Laden. Never happened.

2.Pretend that national security and top secret military operations actually don't exist under Obama, at all. If you have not HEARD about his plans to beat ISIS, it's not because they are classified, silly! If you haven't read about it in Drudge, then Obama has no military secrets and no plan, or he would have told the Freedom Caucus all about it, for freedom.

3.You are going to project any "dividing America" talk onto Obama. Bonus points if you can sigh heavily and appear to be charging the President with "dividing America" more in sorrow than anger.
