King Donald Would Enjoy Today's NYTimes

It's all about him.  There is little else written on any other topic.

But I found two items worth noting for my loyal readers review.

The 1st is Frank Bruni's analysis of King Donald's style and how it wears us out so we are too tired to oppose him or remember his most outrageous behavior because there is a new outrageous behavior.  And yes readers, elections have consequences, which is why I ripped John Podesta's column in a comment on it.  No single person is more responsible for the situation Democrats are in than he is. He failed to come up with a winning strategy in the rust belt and for that failure he should rot in hell.

Meanwhile, some liberals are not reading the tea leaves correctly.  There were a number of Trump voters who are not enamored of him, but want some respect from the Democrat's.  While I know Hillary wanted to run in the middle as a Centrist, her campaign staff felt compelled to tack toward Bernie Sander's and the failure of the Clinton campaign has emboldened those liberals into action which offends these people who are necessary to have as Democrat's in the Rust Belt if Democrats are to win.  These people want economic fairness for their situation and want to be respected for their views that identity politics have been won and don't need to be emphasized as much or they may even disagree with them.

I saw a wonderful piece on PBS about an African American musician who plays honky tonk and country music and has a personal vendetta to reach out to individuals in the KKK and work to convince them that all individuals are human and deserving of respect.  He has some success with this over the last 25 years.  It is something liberals should remember.  It takes a big tent to win Presidential elections.

And, finally, a piece on how the GOP can remove Trump in a hurry if they want to.

So, while Congress would still have to agree with the outcome, the impeachment process would not be necessary.  Of course, Democrats should have no illusion that this would improve policy.  Vice President Pence is a very conservative person who does not see any issue the way Democrats do.
