Republicans keep complaining about “election integrity.”

Even though today’s Republican Party does not know the meaning of “integrity.” (Look it up.)

Heck, if they met integrity on the street, they would probably call 911 in a panic.

Misdirection Play, Red Scare Dept. 0

Via the Las Vegas Sun, Jackie Calmes argues that Donald Trump’s charges that the Democratic Party is somehow communist are a textbook, classic case of project. He points out that

At Rushmore, Trump closed with a demand that Congress pass his so-called SAVE America Act to restrict voting. “We do that and we’re not going to lose an election for 100 years,” he said, speaking of course about Republicans.

One-party rule through central government election finagling? Now that’s a communist.

I commend the entire piece to your attention.
