"Since election day, political news, apart from a couple of unhinged nominations, has become boring. That is why people are tuning out. "

Well, I hope that if people are tuning out, it's because they have to cook and clean for Thanksgiving, and that they plan to reengage next week. We cannot allow the political news to be seen as "boring" and therefore not worth our time and attention. That normalizes what is happening or about to happen, and we cannot allow that to take place. It's already clear that those of us who oppose Trump will have a much greater challenge than we did in 2016. This time, there are no adults in the room, only people who are unqualified, malevolent or both. We all have to make sure we are paying attention, fully informed and ready to do whatever we can to stop the worst abuses.

"I wasn’t surprised when she promised to Make Agriculture Great Again."

Like most of Trump's acolytes, she's incapable of original thinking. Why not riff off the Orange Menace?

Excellent commentary, as usual.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, John.
