Reflecting on the escalating hostility to America values, principles and decency in a 24-hour period
From the ambush of South Africa’s president, to his ugly assault on a WH reporter, to a kowtowing GOP making the rich richer and the poor poorer and sicker, to the escalating war against Harvard & higher ed: We must not be numbed by the flood of outrages.

I think so too. The argument that the unbridled lawlessness could become even worse with the government shut down certainly rang probable!

Most of us were. Maybe you weren’t. No argument…just the facts. Most people understand inherently its not nice to murder someone, or steal their things, or even have sex with someone else’s partner. It’s not an argument most of us have to adopt, or a ‘learned’ understanding. It’s just there.

Just to be clear: the incoming Trump administration is going to war against their own Republican senate majority and the constitution's advice and consent provision so they can make a man investigated for ***sex trafficking a minor*** into the most powerful law enforcement officer in the country.
