I was going to say something about how Kellyanne Conway demonstrated the Platonic Ideal of the concept of “shamelessness” this morning when she called out Senator Corker for “irresponsible” and “demeaning” tweets at President Crazypants. I thought maybe I’d note that we’ve come to a pretty pass when blood-gargling autocrat Vladimir Putin suggests maybe Twitler should dial it back a notch on the saber rattling at North Korea.
Or maybe we could discuss the hypocritical, stupid and expensive (to taxpayers) stunt Pence pulled this weekend to further the blatant lie that black NFL players are disrespected the flag, anthem, troops, first responders, mom, or apple pie rather than peacefully protesting the senseless slaughter of unarmed black people by bad cops. Or talk about the fact that Nazis held another tiki torch rally in Charlottesville.
Then there’s the tax “reform” smash-and-grab. The endless attempts to steal healthcare access from millions. The plot to shiv the Dreamers and ongoing demonization of immigrants. The “thoughts and prayers” and nothing more on gun control. The chipping away of civil rights. The war on women. The degradation of the environment. All of this and more, happening right now. Someone should bear witness, but there are only so many eyes. What a catastrophuck.
