High Treason

I was engaging in some idle conversation with a coffee cohort who is an ardent Trumper the other day. I was giving him a ride and asked how he felt about The Donald making nice with Vladimir Putin and the Russians.

"Great," he said. "At least we're talking. Same with North Korea. Obama wouldn't engage, Trump is engaging his opponents. It is a great thing for our world, blah, blah, blah..."

And I think to myself, self, don't even mention it. Because there is no point. But do you remember what a shit fit the GOP had when Obama tried to open up channels with Castro? My god they wanted to string him up by his thumbs. Memories are so freaking short these days.
