During these times we have to take our amusements where we can, and it will never not be funny to me when Trump tries something outrageous like the G7 fiasco, gets various GOPers to go out on the “nothing to see here” limb in support of him, then reverses course and saws it off behind them.

On a more troubling note, Nate Cohn reports on a NYT poll where voters say by 46-42% that Trump’s behavior is typical of politicians in general rather than being much worse. I’m cynical about the political class and think most are power-hungry narcissists who are at least somewhat shifty, but if people can’t see Trump is breaking new ground as far as criminal conduct goes that spells big trouble for 2020 and beyond.

I figured it out: you're the whistleblower, Roy. See you in hell!

I particularly enjoyed how Ivanka calls him "Honey" over and over, adopting the soothing but firm tone of a hooker maneuvering a drunk out of a bar and into the adjacent alley where he can be rolled in comfort and privacy by her sap-wielding associates.
