To the Editor:

While it’s nice to live in a country “where a person can call the president a liar, thief, and a traitor, without being shot…” such freedom comes with responsibility. For years, the Republican-led House has poured precious time and money into finding something—anything—on Biden. All they’ve come up with are thoroughly discredited theories and witnesses. It’s time to stop the nonsense and get down to business. They have a budget to pass and a government to keep open. Even their own party members are quitting in disgust.

As for “an understandable hyperbolic reaction” to bad debt in NATO, can we agree that we have a right to expect more discipline from a president than the random man-on-the-street with a microphone thrust in his face? And can we appreciate the irony of hearing that from the man who built his lifestyle out of bankruptcy and stiffing the people who work for him? Loyalty is something Trump demands, not something he gives. Least of all to the faceless souls who respond to his pleas for money to cover the legal expenses engendered by this felonious grifter who brags about how rich he is. P.T. Barnum has nothing on Trump.
