Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

I love that its just normal now that Trump and his people are pro Nazi. And its not even a story anymore.
Trump’s choice for director of the National Counterterrorism Center is Joe Kent, who courted prominent white nationalists and posed recently for a photograph with a media personality who previously described Adolf Hitler as a “complicated historical figure” who “many people misunderstand.”

This is almost such an obvious point, it feels slightly crazy to point it out, but a politician winning a national election does not mean that the criticisms of that politician were wrong. Nixon and Bush both go reelected and everything their most unsparing critics said about them was right.
