The crumbling of the Republic proceeds apace, as Trump, t aking advantage of a plague he is responsible for amplifying, takes steps that will be mostly ignored by a distracted populace and press:
National Security Analyst Samantha Vinograd laid into Trump for firing Inspector General Michael Atkinson yesterday. IG Atkinson was doing his job, and doing it well, when he received and acted on a whistleblower’s report that Trump’s administration was withholding Congressionally-approved aid in exchange for dirt on Joe Biden and his son. This report led to Trump’s impeachment, and he is hell-bent on destroying anyone he can who played a role in it. Vinograd was beside herself.
Apparently Trump admitted that he did in to punish the guy for doing his job and reporting his criminal behavior with respect to Ukraine.
We now have a President who openly admits that he is playing favorites in the distribution of vital medical supplies in order to further his own political ends and admits to wreaking vengeance on government employees who, in the course of doing their jobs, make him unhappy. He have a media establishment that has come to terms with this behavior, essentially taking the position that this is Trump being Trump, and while, had Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama done any of these things the uproar would last months, with Donald Trump there is no uproar and the story is good for, if that, half a news cycle.
As the Liar in Chief continues the destruction of the American Republic, one must wonder if Susan Collins thinks he has learned his lesson. Tom Tomorrow has the answer for us:
