I'm not singling out Rumsfeld (may he rot) for anything specific -- today -- but he's at least one poster child for how once The Big Lie is accepted as normal political discourse...
The arc of history is long and bends towards justice, but it can also be bent if there's not even an ethical (much less moral) compass, and especially if an allegedly independent check (aka the press) can't be bothered...
From Nixon to Reagan to Bush's Senior and Junior to the screeching hysterics over Clinton and Obama -- and now Biden -- it's hard to view the press as anything but complicit...in an overt attempt to squelch what's left of nominally small d democratic rule.
But her emails.
No link today...just an observation.
Back tomorrow.
