Fascinating tidbit from @jdawsey1’s reporting in tonight’s writeup of Trump/Eagles/NFL spat: At Trump’s request, WH aides looked into how to hurt NFL as part of GOP tax bill https://t.co/cskWL22Qnd pic.twitter.com/IqGLu01taQ

Tonight’s piece contains some of the most detailed tick tock I’ve read (thanks to @jdawsey1’s notebook) about how Trump began to see taking on the NFL/protesting players as a winning political issue https://t.co/cskWL22Qnd pic.twitter.com/Wc1SSkJlZ0

My morning hasn’t even really started and I’m already pissed off and tired.

It bears repeating, but this kind of shit would have been seen as an impeachable offense, or at the very least, overreach above and beyond any reasonable doubt if done by any other president. I don’t think even Dubya could have gotten away with this kind of shit with the crickets Trump is getting. The absolute swift surrender of our institutions to this fuck and his madmen and the swiftness in which his madness has been normalized is the single most depressing and disarming thing fucking ever. And it only seems to be getting worse by the fucking day.
