Idiocracy

Trump fired FBI Director James Comey yesterday. Just when I think I've seen the depths of Trump's insecurities and narcissism, he digs deeper. Over the past two weeks, Comey has publicly embarrassed the president with statements about the Russia-Trump ties investigation and about the role that Comey might have played in the presidential election.

This is a nakedly political decision. Again, I'm not holding my breath for repercussions. The electorate has seen a Republican party incapable of governing (at least going back to 2000) and have rewarded them with more power. From my biased view, the more audacious and brazen the GOP is in disrupting political norms and traditions, the more support they get from the base.

Perhaps there's a tipping point. If there is, and we have not yet reached it, I both wonder if we ever will, and the damage that will have been done to get there.

Stuff is messed up.
