David Koch, one of the two evil Koch’s has died.

Matt Ford hit the nail on the head this week in a piece published by New Republic.  Titled “Trump’s Tax on the National Psyche“, Ford talks about how Trump not only is an incredible time waster himself, he’s also wasting the time of all Americans with his outrageous behavior, Tweetstorms, and pernicious lying.  Rather than taking care of the People’s business, Trump wastes much of his day in “executive time” watching Fox News, tweeting, and talking to his pals.  He runs the government like his cheesy reality television shows intentionally keeping the public and the media in knots by issuing a continuous stream of idiotic declarations-by-tweet rambling everywhere from buying Greenland to attacking members of Congress who happen to have the wrong skin color in his opinion.  The press has been reduced to trying to get some semblance of policy during his Chopper Talk sessions where he stands before a forest of microphones screaming bullshit over the screaming of his helicopter’s engines.  It’s ridiculous.

It’s exhausting and draining.  Even the people who support him are surely exhausted having to defend their hero’s criminality and corruption, and I believe it will take years to recover from this infestation of the WH, if we ever can.  Ford does a good job with his analysis and his piece is worth a read.

The campaign arm of the Republican congressional committee is selling tee-shirts with Greenland as part of America.

Next month they will offer one with America and Greenland as part of Russia.

Thanks to Kyle for the heads up.

Lookie here.

Yep – the day before.

The letter starts out, “If we’re going to DEFEND Texas, we’ll need to take matters into our own hands.”  And it goes downhill from there.

You can read the letter for yourself right here.

The Texas Tribune says that Hector DeLeon the leader of Associated Republicans of Texas, spoke about it.

“It’s easy to go out and shoot a bunch of ‘Mexicans,’ if you don’t view them as people,” De Leon said. “I think state leaders and national leaders cannot pander to the worst in human nature or the worst in their party; they can engage in rhetoric that shows were more than that.

Come on, Greg, get on board the human train.
