To be very clear here, my outrage is not at being pranked with a rick roll. I'd be fine with decent politicians doing that on most days. It's specifically with reversed courses on transparency regarding circumstantial evidence that the president was involved in sexual assault.

Obama gave out his birth certificate. Bernie Sanders shows his tax returns. The Republican Party is a team of liars that shares nothing.

And yet the Republicans have taken over the entire government.

Maybe people don't care about politicans lying. Maybe they expect it.

Maybe the Democrats are playing chess and the Republicans are strutting around and shitting on the board.

I'm so sick of people pointing out Republican hypocrisy like they give a damn about it.

The Democrats have had power for four goddamn months over my entire life. Maybe they should start lying and cheating so they can actually win a goddamn election.
