Wait wait, I thought it was unpatriotic for the rich to leave America!

It was just a few years ago, but now that it''s billionaire Silicon Valley types threatening to leave because Trump's coming, I guess it's okay. In fact, we're about to see a lot of old ideas resurface now that the Democrats are a true minority power. Remember the "no mandate because we Democrats got a whole bunch of votes" argument back in 2010? They don't; I do.

Or Harry Reid and his fellows in 2013  triggering "the nuclear option" that ended the filibuster of judges by the Republicans?

There's lots more to come, assuredly. The Bush crowd of gentlemen Republicans actually went along with that nonsense, but I'm hopeful that Trump will tell them to stuff it.
