The Republican leader told POLITICO that his critics "had their shot" already. But conservatives are not done whacking him over the immigration-for-Ukraine aid implosion.

      You’re absolutely right, but the part that puzzles me (and maybe it shouldn’t) is why they never, ever consider how it can be possible that they themselves are miraculously exempt, and will somehow always be exempt, from harmful government exclusions and actions.

      They casually say shit like “He’s hurting the wrong people!” and easily applaud the loss of benefits and rights for others, without ever casting a brain cell at the possibility that they themselves are The Right People to harm – just as soon as their own idiocy is no longer useful in wiping away every citizen’s rights.
