You’re not patriots.

You’re complicit.

5/ The excuses and rationalizations you make to yourself in the dark of night — “I’m making the best of a crazy time” and “Without me, it would be worse” and “No matter what he tweets, I’m doing good” are as hollow as your nights are sleepless.

7/ You will *not* get to tell the story later. You will*not* get to laugh it off as a crazy lacuna in your otherwise sterling career.

You’re marked with it. The stain is on you.

ETTD is real, inevitable, and excuses don’t expunge it.

9/ If you want to stay in the Administration, embrace it all, publically.

The lawlessness. The graft. The treason. The compromise. The cruelty.

Dine well, drink deep, and imagine justice and history will be kind to you.

They won’t.

11/ Same song, different era.

No one will ever forget, or forgive.

Me least of all.

/so endeth the lesson.
