Outrage fatigue

Meals on Wheels, Sesame Street, cancer research, all these things are vital and it's cruel for him to talk about eliminating them. It's not normal. Keep speaking out about it.

But do not forget for even a moment that he is a MASTER DISTRACTOR, and is counting on OUTRAGE FATIGUE. Don't be distracted from Russia and health care. We're way smarter than he thinks we are.

As Kurt Vonnegut once wrote: the problem with dumb sons-of-bitches is that they don't believe there's any such thing as being smart.

1. That's why I'm trying to focus on the Russia story. Cut the head off and the body dies.

Not that I'm not infuriated by the plans to destroy the ACA and the EPA and the NEA and public broadcasting and so on and so forth. I most certainly am.

But attacking the administration piecemeal on an issue by issue basis is almost overwhelming. Strike to the heart of the matter--the President is an illegitimate puppet of the Russian government, and by that virtue each and every one of his policies is also illegitimate.

Get him the hell out of office as soon as possible, and let the one who is charged to replace him wallow in the shit stench he created. Then get a majority in 2018 and a Democrat in the White House in 2020.

2. Agreed, but

We need to make sure Pence is also removed. I'm pretty sure he and Ryan will do as much damage to domestic programs as Trump is doing.
