This is incredibly disturbing, but sadly unsurprising. At what point does “…publicly made false statements” turn into “lied” ? This damage will take years, and quite possibly decades, to repair. I hope that both my kids and I (and Jen) live to see our country once again behaving as though we want the rest of the world to behave.

 

There’s hope. It begins in January 2009.
