Trump is inciting violence, spewing invective and racist bile in all directions and denying any and all responsibility for it and that is just the last 72 hours...
There is no way, not a scintilla of a possibility, that if President Obama had done even ONE of the THOUSANDS of things Trump has done that we would not have witnessed a 'clutch-the-pearls' performance from EVERY member of the GOP that would have led to immediate impeachment proceedings and a trial...consequences be damned, they would have toed the line and marched ahead.
On the Democratic side, we are STILL hemming and hawing about whether or not we should open a formal impeachment inquiry as the dead pile up, the norms of our government shatter and a criminal grifter has usurped the power of the nation for his own means.

Dayton was 9, in 30 seconds and was not even in the top spot for worst event of the weekend, which was taken by 22 dead in El Paso hours earlier.
The rot at the soul of this nation is systemic now. The body politic of this failed experiment in self-rule has gone septic and begun to eat itself.
