In the ACA fight, Pelosi noted there were so many rumors that "we have to pass the bill, so that you can find out what is in it." Republicans lied and pretended she'd said "so WE can find out what's in it" and then acted outraged. And yet now they're doing the thing they falsely accused her of.

As the trial begins, I keep thinking of the saying "it is better to be guilty and rich than innocent and poor." The defense strategy to admit that Diddy is a domestic abuser, but NOT a trafficker is incredibly risky. I guess we'll see how true that saying is.
