Apparently. But, wait, for clarity, you use the phrase "new era of Republican isolationism" (Buchanan I assume). However, my reference was to Ronald Reagan. He was no isolationist. In fact, his was viewed as model conservatism. Back to my original question, if you don't mind. As to dishonesty, that's a crock that, daily, heck, hourly, is being revealed as more and more "crocky."

Maybe people such as Lt Col Tony Shaffer and General Thomas G. McInerney are the idiots, while people like the venerable Sombrero, who wields enormous sway on or about the confines of Pine Mountain Grill, (yes the famous one located in metropolitan Whitesburg, Ky.), are the enlightened ones. I know which of the two possibilities I line up with.

But the true idiots in my view, are those who are attempting to undermine the US government, and of course, those who agree with them. Anybody can invent news citing undisclosed sourcing, regarding an unvetted memo for example, that they or nobody else that I know of has ever laid eyes on. But I agree, Deepstate traitors (holdovers from the past administration's corps of rabid chipmunks) are busy about their daily, heck, hourly acts of subterfuge. Nobody has anything on which to base any of the media attacks, much less this latest outrage. The substance of which is nothing more than the thinnest form of hearsay. In fact, nothing at all has changed from June of 2016. As the personal assaults on DJT by smug and arrogant establishment types, have as I predicted, gotten completely out of hand. Will force of character as shown by only one man in the person of Trump be enough to turn the US ship of state before it hits the iceberg? Or is it already too late?

Either way, Dems are the ones up on deck in a state of ultimate denial, insisting the band must play on and all their faithful are in attendance. The rest of us have our eyes open.
