  1. Niskanen and the political center don’t need to prove a lot here. Is it better than overtly white supremacist policies, lying as a power assertion, a sure conspiracy theories, and unhinged moves that undermine the Constitution? Yes, please! t.co/Mo00UgsJVy

      Niskanen will be the group to write the 2016 Republican Party’s obituary: It died bloodily and noisily, kicking the Indian doctor trying to save it (he was brown), hollering about Seth Rich as its lungs collapsed, and reciting lies the nurses disproved with Google as it expired.

        For every dollar in waste it saved, it threw 10 away to wasteful military showboating and destabilizing tax policy. For every potential life it thought it saved, it put 2 real ones in a camp and left 10 more to rot in hunger and poverty.

          For every regulation it pulled down, it allowed 10 unilateral actions to bring favored industries under the federal yoke. For every stand it took on someone being “morally unfit for the Presidency,” it gave 10 mulligans to an unethical huckster who defied every law/norm we had.

            For every human lifetime set bringing about an ideal of America exceptionalism, it acted at every juncture to make us another banana republic. For every alliance we spent generations building, it stood by as every one had the trust and substance perfidiously stripped from it.
