LESSONS LEARNED

- When you eliminate shame from the equation, Republicans will happily lie again & again to get what they want

- When truth & power are at cross-purposes, the GOP will always choose power

- Sunlight is not always the best disinfectant; it is merely the easiest
- When you can prove that a President has told 20,000 lies in the space of four years and the resounding response from his Party is “WE DON’T CARE”, then you are no longer dealing with a persuadable entity. They are not engaging in “debate”. This is a job for a deprogrammer.
