Fucked IRL
Fucked on home ownership
Fucked on jobs
Fucked by the economy

Fucked by congress
Fucked by the president
Fucked by the intelligence community

There are SO many perfect ways to sum up the current administration and the people who support it but this Reflecting Pool saga has to be top 5.
It has all the hallmarks -
Seeing a problem where there isn’t one.
Using that fake problem to provide cover for ACTUAL problems.
Massive lack of knowledge/understanding.
Insisting that the solution is easy/simple/cheap.
Turning to lies and spin when their easy/simple/cheap promises fall apart.
Blame others for the problems, making up enemies along the way.
Getting their people to repeat the lies and the spin and to blame the made up enemies for the problems that follow.
We are in a sad place when the people telling these lies and spin really think everyone is as dumb (with a b!) as their most hardcore supporters. Too many lies have been told. The playbook is so obvious at this point. I can only be hopeful that their time as leaders will be short and we all can return to dealing with real issues with real solutions.
