My current favorite bit of right-wing Christian hypocrisy is Ken Paxton, a man whose wife is divorcing him for adultery, forcing Texas schools to unconstitutionally post "Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery." www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston...

Paxton tells Texas schools to follow Ten Commandments law despite court ruling

Attorney General Ken Paxton's guidance comes days after U.S. District Judge Fred Biery sided with 16 families who sued their school districts to stop the law from going into effect.

The only thing more disgraceful than having groveling cabinet members so willing to debase themselves in this shameless way is having such a damaged, insecure, and needy president that they know desperately needs to hear this BS.

It is quite an accomplishment to be the biggest idiot in the Trump Administration (outside of Trump himself, of course).

This is something to watch and even be concerned about, absolutely, but it needs an actual, good, skeptical report, not jumping on a news release.

For that matter, even the news release makes clear how the Post headline is running the admin’s conclusory PR. www.transportation.gov/briefing-roo...

Litter is definitely a massive emergency that warrants mobilizing units from several states’ National Guard, arming them heavily and sending them into the streets of the capital.

If Obama or Biden had said this, it would be rightfully understood as them arrogating dictatorial authority to themselves, it would be the only thing anyone in the media or opposition would talk about for a year, and it would probably end their presidency. For Trump, it’s literally just Tuesday.

He’s wrong about everything, and thinks he’s right about everything. Hard to tell which is worse.

The war will end when Russia decides no longer to fight. The US could make that happen with a few simple policies. Instead the Trump administration offers ridiculous analysis and pathetic excuses.
