Nancy Pelosi's rhetorical question implies that what politicians say is a sham and a shame. (RCP, May 2021) She implies that they will say that they have been vaccinated or act as though they have been even when they have not. If she doesn't trust them to tell the truth, why should I?
My premise is that most politicians say anything that furthers their agenda and helps them get elected. My dream is that by pointing out that what they say is a sham and shaming them for posturing, they will posture less and govern better. I don't expect success. If Jon Stewart and Tucker Carlson have been unsuccessful, what chance do I have? I also occasionally add my own commentary and thoughts. The opinions here are mine. No one reviews or approves what I post.

What is this, the honor system?
Gerrymanders and Double Standards
What Eric Holder and Barack Obama say about “fair maps and more representative democracy” when states draw new lines for districts is a sham and a shame. Karl Rove notes that only complain when Rs gerrymander but not when the Ds do. (WSJ, May 2021) Illinois is an example. I am reminded of the adage, "If they didn't have double standards, they would not have standards at all".
