What is common sense?

[BidenPresident]

No. There can be common sense for things that are true and constant. In that respect, the only thing common in politics is that pols cannot be trusted. Yes, that applies to virtually all of them. Perhaps all.

If pols cannot be trusted nor can an American be trusted.

Trust is earned. By everyone. Pols have to lie to become pols so none of them are trustworthy. People are not all subject to the same pressures so some of them can earn that trust if they wish to.
