text: It would be "funny" if it were not perfidious how some supporter-apologists for Pres. Trump will use the "throw the first stone" defense for the serial liar. 
  One of the "usuals" below asks in pseudo righteousness: "Can you name a politician who doesn't "gild the lily" as we say?". 
  Whaaa?!
  That is not what Jesus meant; this is not only illogical but itself an abuse of truth and of the civility that makes community let alone civilization work. I am actually beginning to understand that much of the Trump support comes from people who simply want to justify their own perfidy.
