Word of the day

We all know the term “Crocodile tears” as representing rank hypocrisy, feigning grief at something that was really intended.

We need a new term “GOP-odile tears” for the rank insensitivity shown by Trump/Mulvaney while taking a meat-axe to the Federal budget. Justifying cuts to the PBS budget, they claimed that “a coal miner should not have to pay for public TV”. Where were the Republicans when countless miners lost their pensions in owner-friendly bankruptcy proceeedings? Where were the Republicans when mine owners deliberately evaded OSHA regulations and miners died?
Answer: taking campaign donations from those same owners, and little more.

We need politicians who care more about their constituents than their campaign bankers.
