Conservative Max Boot observes:

Mueller embodies the ideals of probity, service and self-sacrifice that trace back to the Pilgrims who came to America in search of a “city upon a hill.” ...Trump is Mueller’s opposite in every meaningful respect save that he was also born to privilege... He has much in common with the land promoters who bamboozled English immigrants into coming to the New World in the 17th century with fanciful tales of riches — what Trump would describe as “truthful hyperbole.” He is the kind of charming con man who peddled patent medicines in the 19th century and then, in the 20th century, penny stocks and time-shares.

All you need to know about the diseased state of today’s Republican Party is that it reviles Mueller and reveres Trump.

Conservative commentator Erick Erickson lashed out at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student David Hogg Monday, calling the school shooting survivor turned activist "a bully."

On his website The Resurgent, Erickson said Hogg was using his victimhood as a shield in a piece called "David Hogg Is A High School Bully."

"He is using his status as victim to inappropriately and ridiculously attack people while going unchallenged," Erickson wrote Monday. "David Hogg is a bully."

Another asswipe I'd like a few minutes in the ring with.

@CaseyCagle
I will kill any tax legislation that benefits @Delta unless the company changes its position and fully reinstates its relationship with @NRA. Corporations cannot attack conservatives and expect us not to fight back.

Moronic GA Repubes want to punish Delta Airlines for shutting down an NRA discount that just 13 NRA members used. Unintended consequences, possibly? Amazon writes Atlanta off the list of HQ2 contenders.
