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.

The Hill: Wisconsin Senate passes limits on incoming Dem governor
Republicans are such crybaby snowflakes. The only thing that matters to them is winning, and whenever they don’t (or can’t), they just rewrite the rules.

Chuck Schumer’s unpaid intern.
We’re expected to work FOR FREE after 6, 7, and 8 years of college, but we’re the ones who are spoiled because we want a $4 coffee every once in awhile to forget about the strain of living in country the generation before us ruined with greed.

Legal immigration is now under attack.
Is there anybody who still believes this administration’s “concerns” about immigration are about national security and the economy as opposed to just naked racism? Hopefully not, but just in case there are, Stephen Miller is erasing any doubt.

Migrant children at the border, a breakdown.
This could be an assumption on my part, but I feel like there’s a lot of confusion around what is actually happening at detention centers, where they come from, what they’re for, etc. I was unclear, so I assume a lot of people are unclear, but we all have the same basic opinion — it’s wrong to keep people (esp. children) in cages. So, I wanted to make a quick breakdown so we all know what happens to kids who come to the border alone, kids who come with their parents, and the differences between those situations under Obama and now under Trump.

Donald Trump wouldn’t qualify to be an immigrant.
Let’s see. Trump has about five bankruptcies under his belt, can barely form a coherent sentence, and has no marketable skills that I can see other than being white and promising White America that he will whitely allow them to white even more effectively in the white future. Add to that the fact that he could never pass a citizenship test because he has no idea of how the government works or the history of this country, and I’m pretty sure Donald Trump’s Administration would stop Donald Trump at the door if he was trying to come from another country.

President Velveeta’s only political position is Bully.
So we’re a week into Trump’s reign of terror and the common theme to me isn’t Republican or Conservative so much as it’s Piss Off As Many People As Possible. I think the running theme throughout Trump’s life has made itself the de facto position of his Presidency: Be A Dick.

White descendant of immigrants is concerned about unvetted Puerto Ricans “immigrating” here.
Donald Trump never had a problem with immigration. His wife was an immigrant who worked here illegally. His modeling company was full of Eastern European waifs who were here illegally. He hires Polish immigrants to build his properties. Donald Trump has a problem with brown people and so do the rest of his supporters, like this asshat calling in to CSPAN to voice his concern about immigration from Puerto Rico…which is part of the United States.

Vox: Brexit isn’t about economics. It’s about xenophobia.
The campaign behind Brexit is a mirror image of our own Cheeto Jesus out here trying to Make America Great White Again.
