GOP pouts, flips, flops, flounders

Paraphrasing Ben Franklin’s always sagacious Poor Richard, “Republicans are very odd creatures; one half censure what they practice; the other half practice what they censure; the rest always say and do as they ought.”

Ah, Republicans. Trump pouts on the golf course. The nation (which includes the state of Indiana) faces a deadly pandemic; the economy (which includes the workers and entrepreneurs of the state of Indiana) careens into a deepening recession; and the United States Senate (which includes two Republicans from the state of Indiana) flip, flop, flounder and refuse to “do as they ought.”
