"Little" things like this, while Trump and Mitch are chipping away at other institutions all add up.
This normalization is already well under way. Every day that goes by without impeachment starting is even more entrenched normalization. Nancy and others somehow think they are operating in a 1980's reality, and that its not already a different world. Waiting for the 'right' time, as more and more pro-facist judges get appointed, and more civil rights reduced, might mean that the 'right' time never arrives. Its seeming more and more to be resembling that autocratic world that Pink Floyd was imagining on their Wall albums.

Trump is going to this ship tomorrow. I hope they all have gotten the message from angry.

Trash day on the USS Wasp? It makes those airmen look like trashmen or they should be thrown out.

It's not simply about a patch. It's the message the photos of the patch wearers send.
