The banality of evil

Donald Trump took his alternative-fact/reality tour to Texas this weekend, and spouted such wild-eyed, unhinged gibberish that the media ALMOST paid attention. But then the AFC and NFC championships games came on a few hours later, both games were bangers by the way, and all the treason-talk went into the same ether that Trump's other treasonous announcements go into.....some black-hole of incredulity that paralyzes institutions like the New York Times (and the justice department) into inaction, for fear of upsetting too many Rogan-bros, or being forced to confront how their own reporting helped turned "but her emails" into something more insidious to our democracy than "hang Mike Pence". To give you an idea of how serious the big boys took all of this treason, their guest on the Sunday Morning shows was none other than Lindsey Graham. That’ll show ‘em!
