One is brought ineluctably to the Ocasio Cortez position, recognizing that no form of guardrails will trammel his evil, and to fund anything related to the government is merely to establish the slush fund for him to "repurpose", a la his emergency declaration to move military base school rehab funds to wall construction.

I'm really at the "burn it all down" point, and I cannot see how anything but full and complete "nuclear option" (ie, to start with, no debt ceiling deal, no House bill funding one paper clip for the White House, etc) can masquerade as good government.

This, of course, is utterly mad.

ETA, hence, my plea for immediate impeachment, if only to keep my head from exploding.

Yes he's essence of flim-flam.

The concept of there's a sucker born every minute is as American as apple pie. And I also think plenty of folks that voted for him or played with the idea of voting for him, might have sensed that he may be a top practitioner of this just from his life as a celebrity.

Precisely because many people think that is in inherent in politicians to be flim flam men, make shit up and lie and cheat, that it is only a matter of degree of how much of this quality they have and what they are actually willing to do rather than just talk flim flam and not really do.

So if you are asking "where's the outrage?", I think it is missing in a lot of folks because it is only a matter of degree and then: where do you draw the line on this shit?, and that starting to try to draw lines would take them to a place where they are eternally outraged about lots of them. So they are just willing to let it go....
