   Beckom should be ashamed, but I don’t believe he’s capable of it.

   Further evidence that the Republican Party has devolved into a cult of personality, in this case a pathological narcissist.

   At this point, peddling outright lies is the conservative media’s business model.

    John Adams explained the Founders’ understanding when he wrote that good government and the very definition of a republic “is an empire of laws.”
