I condone none of this

It's horrific to contemplate. It's repulsive to look at. But it is worldwide news today.

And if you chose to dismiss across-the-country lynchings and burnings of Barack Obama in effigy eight years ago as "free speech," you have disqualified yourself from ANY discussion of Kathy Griffin's reprehensible stunt today.

Grab 'em by the premiums

I keep thinking NOW we've reached the ultimate low for the man-boy administration. Mocking a disabled reporter. Bragging about sexually assaulting women. Blatantly lying about an audit preventing him from releasing his taxes. Mounting evidence that he's colluding with Russia. More FBI investigations than we can keep track of. The exorbitant taxpayer costs of his endless golf vacations and dysfunctional marriage. Machinations to undermine the First Amendment. Flouting endless laws and safeguards and conventions designed to prevent financial conflicts of interest. Mike Pence. Proudly flailing around in a cloud of political and historical ignorance. Desperate attempts to discredit the media and blame Obama for his own catastrophic failings.

And now this.

What bottomless holes will he drive us into next week?
