Normalizing corruption isn't a partisan project for Trump. The important thing is not whether the Menendezes and Cuellars of the world are on the Trump Train - it's establishing that corruption is no longer a thing that's worth prosecuting.

The President is actively dying right next to his team of simps yelling about what a Big Strong Leader Man he is. Just sitting there, eyes closed, croaking in front of our eyes.
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

You know how there are some historical reenactment museum areas where you can go and see people dressed old timey churning butter and making horseshoes? There should be one that's a bar and kids can go listen to reenactors complain about their city's sports teams from different decades

The important thing to bear in mind as Trump's popularity begins to wobble is that the disastrous economic consequences of the things he's done in the first 10 months of this term have not even *begun* to hit. We've been coasting on the fumes of the economy he inherited and soon they'll be gone.
my wife and her entire team were fired over Zoom from their program manager jobs at a local nonprofit Seattle hospital this Spring because Trump just stopped paying Medicaid reimbursements. and this is a relatively affluent urban center
we're really not prepared for what's coming

As a direct result of President Trump's Big Ugly Bill, almost 300 jobs will be cut from Providence Swedish's First Hill, Cherry Hill, Ballard, and Issaquah hospitals and clinics. These are not the only layoffs we've seen in our health care system in Washington state in recent months.

"The same Trump so desperate to swaddle himself in every signifier of wealth, privilege and overindulgence that he absolutely sounds like someone who would rape children just for the exclusivity of it."
The mythical media trump—who knows anything about what he's talking about—is on a collision course with the sudden need to pretend to know nothing at all about a story that he's had lots of help trying to forget.

The media version of Donald Trump as the author of his own administration isn't the one leaving his DNA at the crime scene.
