The President should be the best of us. The smartest, the brightest, the most diplomatic, and the one most qualified to run the country. Trump is an idiot and so is anyone else who excuses his endless litany of "mistakes."

“America is not unique in its sins.” — Prof. Eddie Glaude
America does not accept its sins because America is run by people who first, benefit from those sins, but also refuse to accept that anything could possibly be wrong because they were told they were the best at everything.

Jussie Smollett and white certainty of guilt.
I’m not debating what consequences should be assigned to a Black man who has not been proven anything one way or another when I’m trying to express my anger about the lack of consequences assigned to a group of men who MURDER innocent Black people while the politicians who uphold that system are pretending that a staged crime is more serious than a dead body.

Gen X & Baby Boomer media is about making millennials feel shitty about not being exponentially more successful and more educated than they had to be at the same age to maintain the same standard of living. Y'all had my salary with a HS diploma working at Auto Zone. Go away.

No one “deserves” to be an American.
It’s so maddening that the only argument Trump supporters have about immigration rests on the unacknowledged premise that they were simply lucky enough to be born in a country where their lives aren’t in danger. You didn’t do anything to *deserve* living in the US either.

Vox: Paul Ryan’s Long Con
Anybody still giving the benefit of the doubt to Republicans needs to go outside and break off a switch. Republicans keep playing this “fiscal responsibility” card, and too many of us keep falling for it to debate its merits as if their positions ever hold fast once they get elected. “Fiscal responsibility” is a catchphrase to bring two groups to the polls: rich people and poor whites.

Daily Beast: Trump on Coming Debt Crisis – ‘I Won’t Be Here’ When It Blows Up
We point out a lot of ways this current administration is breaking from accepted norms, but the one difference that gets the least discussion is the frequency with which Trump and this current GOP says out loud what we all knew to be true anyway.

ThinkProgress: Michigan GOP cuts paid sick leave, repeals minimum wage increase in lame-duck session
How do we impress upon our representatives that Republicans have no intention of playing fair and we have get in the gutter with them in order to clean it up? We can’t afford to go high when they keep taking a baseball bat to the knees of democracy.
