So within the past few days in "a reminder that Trump is evil and not just stupid and a baby"...
- As you said said racist things about Eliabeth Warren in front of a Native American audience.
- Trump re-tweeteed some super-far-right anti-Muslim videos made by European extremists.
- Trump falsely tweeted that Joe Scarborough, the TV host who used to be a friend of sorts of his but now is not, killed someone, because he is upset about Joe's anti-Trump tone I imagine.
- He is still inexplicably stupid though: for instance, Trump is trying to undermine his Secretary of State again, even though the guy is gutting the State Department just as requested.
And more.
And meanwhile the Republican Party is doing their absolute best to pass the worst tax cut ever, a bill so heinously cruel that it OPENLY, not secretly but openly, either does not cut or actually raises taxes on the poor and middle classes in order to give a massive payout to billionaires. It'll probably pass, too. Maybe a miracle will happen and it'll fail, but it's looking like it's very likely going to pass passage now. I only hope that if it does the blowback from passing such a bill hurts a lot of those people at the ballot box next year...
Oh, and Trump's nominees continue to be insanely unqualified people doing their best to destroy the American government. The famous right-wing phrase is that government should be "small enough that you can drown it in a bathtub", but that implied leaving some shred of government that actually functioned. Trump's people don't get anywhere near that minimal implied level of competence; they're just arsonists, burning our government to the ground for no reason.
As for the sexual harrassment issue, Kos is now saying that he thinks that Franken and Conyers should resign: https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2017/11...#read-more and he's probably right. I hope that Republican offenders are also publicly outed so they can be pushed into retirement as well though, it shouldn't only be our side...
