Same Old Low
“There is a temptation is to describe what happened yesterday as somehow a ‘new low.’ Our somnolent, gibbering, incoherent, deeply corrupt President, surrounded by his fawning toadies, unleashed a torrent of dehumanizing racist bile, disinformation, and threats. … But it’s not a new low. It’s the same old low. A scene we’ve seen repeated so often there is a kind of numbness to it. Outrage did not ensue.”

Our Fascist Idiocracy: Kristi Noem Thanks Trump for Preventing Hurricanes This Year He must have gotten a bigger Sharpie!
Independent: Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem has bizarrely thanked Donald Trump for “keeping the hurricanes away.”
Speaking during the final cabinet meeting of the year on Tuesday (2 December), Noem expressed her gratitude to the US president, “Sir, you made it through hurricane season without a hurricane… even you kept the hurricanes away. We appreciate that.”
No hurricanes made landfall in the United States during the Atlantic hurricane season, for the first time since 2015.
But, last month, Hurricane Melissa became one of the most powerful on record, killing at least 106 people across the Caribbean.”
People: As the president appeared to be frequently closing his eyes, his secretaries showered him with compliments on everything from his sacrifices for the American people to his apparent influence on the weather.
