The news coverage of his outrageous acts successfully distracts from all of the malevolent accomplishments of his departments. Occasionally, the destruction of the EPA and Dept. of Interior make the news cycle. The demolition of our all of our institutions has accelerated while we are numbed and distracted.

One of these days we are going to wake up and find ourselves shocked at what a hell-hole this country has become and wonder how it ever happened. It's happening now right under our noses, but nobody is talking about it.
