If had to I choose between Caligula's horse and any number of new employees of the executive branch, I would struggle, entirely on the question of competence.

Way too coherent to be a relative, and probably doesn't even own a snow mobile or Jetski.

It's not really that funny since Trump is going to cause inflation, since we're already at close to full employment, if he starts that one trillion dollar infrastructure program that he has no plan on paying for.

MSM now swaddled in WH fence jumper story, which apparently happened last night, but they announced this a.m. to tie up weekend coverage of other matters.

It ... just .... would .... be .... too ... absurd. But this is how we will live for the next 2-4 years. Meanwhile Congress ignores what is going on because their "base" does not care. When the history of this time is written, they will not come off well. No one who has endorsed this administration will come off well.The smell of incompetence, crookedness and treason will linger on all of them.

The "base" really does not want to confront it. David Frum had an interesting (depressing) tweetstorm about what is happening:

Basically, do not assume our side is winning this or that it will win. No smoking Makarov may ever turn up. The corruption we see may not impress the "base". They might be upset with healthcare, but do not count on it. It does not mean give up. But this will be long-term.
