The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans

It doesn't matter if the Democrats can recover. The Republican party is already destroyed, taken over by fascists. What does matter is in what form the American people recover. The two party system has become increasingly ineffective, and was never a great idea to begin with. Let the Trumpers call a spade a spade and rename themselves. Whoever actually speaks for the ordinary people and can represent their interests may very well end up coalescing into a new progressive party. The names don't matter. What they do does.

But, I refuse to become cynical, escapist, or let my curiosity and life-force to die out.

I'm kind of laughing but in a sad way. I've always thought that there has to be a price for stupidity. So when you appoint people to important positions based on their brown nosing skills vs competence, stuff like this is going to happen.

The attempted cover up is also bemusing. Deny, deny, deny, with a side of denigrating The Atlantic thrown in. Unfortunately, the orange Jesus crowd will simply believe everything he says carte blanche, end of story.

Their version of freedom of speech seems to not include self expression through hair. But influencing elections with unlimited money is protected speech.
