Clinging on to sanity

"The implications of all this are profound. First, our understanding of political risk has to change. We are no longer dealing with actors who are constrained by norms, expectations, or even basic human decency.

Trump’s Office Of Legal Counsel Says Trump Doesn’t Need To Follow The Presidential Records Rules

Leave it to the president that makes us nostalgic for Nixon-era corruption to claim that a law Nixon made necessary is no longer a law.

CBS Decides That NOT Airing Associates Of Sex-Trafficking Pedophiles Would Be Woke
