I never quite bought into that Churchill line about how nothing in life is as exhilarating as being shot at without result. But Trump is living it, day after day after day. Are you, like legions of NPR and Washington Post reporters, still trying to peel what's left of USAid from off the asphalt? Ha! The Administration has already moved on to its next target:

Trump order to dismantle the education department in the works, sources say

Good. The US Department of Education was set up by Jimmy Carter in 1979, and the official position of the GOP ever since has been to abolish it. But, as with so much else they're supposedly committed to, Republicans have done not a thing about it - because Frank Luntz ran a "Words that Work" focus group showing that when a GOP squishpants so much as mentions this malign boondoggle swing-state independents hear it as an attack on "teachers" and recoil in terror. After forty years, American public education is worse than ever, and taxpayers pay more per pupil than anywhere else but Luxembourg - and Luxembourg at least has something to show for it. If that line sounds familiar, it's because I first used it in the Nineties.

It's almost as if, over the same four decades, Conservative Inc has just been a giant self-enrichment racket.
