my simple guide to today's politics.

If trump says it, it is either wrong, self serving or both

if a trump supporter says it, that's easier - it is wrong

if a republican says it, it is self serving for the party - and usually, wrong for the majority of people.

if a republican or trump proposes it, it is for bigoted, sexist, or mega wealthy interests.

if a republican seems to come out with the correct answer, just wait - they will shift back - it is all about current, electoral optics. (Megan McCain, Susan Collins, Turtle, Mr Rogers Lindsey Graham - this means all of you!)

That's my starting filter.

Hoping severely here for more Mueller time.
