Republicans knowingly push out false narratives over and over and I am at a complete loss as to how we should deal with it. How can anyone be expected to have a conversation of any substance with any Republican? We've gotten to the point where they are pretending a sitting politician endorses eating babies. There's nowhere left to go.

A Tale of Two Presidents: Moats & Alligators
Donald Trump suggested a moat with alligators and snakes, not as a joke or as an exaggeration, but in earnest as a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. How much outrage do you think there will be?

Hey Aunt Lindsey, what is “quid pro quo” to you?
Y'all, please forgive Matroness Lindsey Olin Graham Sugarbaker Devereaux.

Read the full whistleblower complaint.
Is it enough to take down a President? Absolutely. Is it enough to take down a Republican President in the post-Newt Gingrich political climate of tribalism and Us-vs-Them rabid support from the GOP senators needed to vote him out of office? Absolutely not. Is it a way to possibly investigate this administration for other hidden calls that may prove more damning and indefensible? Possibly.

Ole Miss racists posing with Emmett Till sign suspended by frat.
They look ready to commit a hate crime. That photo says Emmett Till deserved what he got, because he was Black and wasn't sufficiently deferential to a white person. That photo says Black people who don't know their place deserve to be tortured and murdered. That photo says Black people are not safe on campus and the fact that Ole Miss didn't come to the same conclusion is the reason we still fight for the viability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

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.

WaPo: Workers are ghosting their employers like bad dates
Pay workers more and treat them like people. If your employees feel expendable, they have no problem ghosting on that spot that you’ll easily fill with someone else you don’t care about.

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.
