That moment on @FoxNews when @OliverNorthFNC complains about congressional encroachment in NatSec because of "unfortunate" circumventions.

Oliver North on Fox News on Iran-Contra: "Ronald Reagan, as we all know, I particularly, found ways around it" pic.twitter.com/UM52IFhU3c

Because nothing can be original any more, Ollie North emerges from his cushy right-wing cave and tries to promote a false equivalence between Donald Trump and… Thomas Jefferson. FDR. Even Ronald Reagan would reject the comparison! — he may have been a cynical mouthpiece for a bunch of greedy oligarchs, and sinking into organic dementia, but at least he was a professional. His meanest critics would admit that Reagan never shirked the less pleasant aspects of his White House job, always hit his camera marks, and mouthed the lines he was given with sincerity.
Ours is a coarser era, and Russia a rather more potent enemy; I suspect that even some portion of the Fox-News-addled “base” will be quick to turn on Trump as soon as it’s obvious he’s not going to “win” against a grand jury. Heel to hero back to heel — professional “reality” infotainment at its finest!
Trump is not exactly starting from the same level of public support that Reagan had before Iran-Contra broke … https://t.co/s7j1sdAQqR

In the last 53 years – GOP has held the White House for 28 years, Democrats have held if for 25 years. (1/3)

In 28 years of GOP: 120 indictments, 88 convictions, 34 prison sentences…
I'm not sure I'd take GOP advice on violating law.
