Nope. Not buyin' it. You don't negotiate with liars, you don't accept the word of those that lack one. Chaffetz is motivated by fear and greed and you do not use gentle rhetoric where a cattleprod is called for.

    Chaffetz’s Twitter feed doesn’t feature any curiosity about Trump’s numerous potential conflicts of interest. But the Utah congressman has been tweeting incessantly about how he is “outraged” by “arrogant” Obama using the national monument designation powers presidents have had since 1906.

Fuck this guy. Seriously. You forget - he's not representing Berkeley. Those are red-blooded Capital R Republicans from Salt Lake City shouting him down. Same fuckers that spent $5m banning gay marriage in Cali-fucking-fornia. He doesn't go home the winner, he goes home learning that his balls-deep knob-gobbling support of Donald "I'm out" Trump is infuriating his god-hates-fags constituency.

I have no power over Jason Chaffetz other than paying whatever PAC wants to take him down in two years. Neither do you. And it warms the cockles of my heart to see a bunch of negro-hatin', whiskey-fearin', gay-bashin' Mormons tear him limb from limb and this high tea of intellectual convergence you picture?

Naaah. Watching Republicans tear Republicans limb from limb is the kind of joy I haven't experienced since John Boehner ran screaming.
