8. This is irresponsible on the part of Taibbi

The Donald is decidedly not Reagan whose dementia became an accelerated problem after he survived a shooting. Though I was never a Reagan fan, Ronald Reagan did have administrative experience as head of the Actors Guild and two-term Governor of California, the 6th or 7th largest economy in the world. Reagan had bona fide credentials; Trump has a series of business failures, hinky ties to very shady, mob-connected characters and a bunch of bluster and lies. That's in addition to his deteriorating mental state.

This is not normal in any shape or form and Taibbi pretending 'we've been here before' is pure crapola. The GOP has turned into a group of skeevy, obsequious courtiers to the Mad King. When was a Vichy government ever considered normal? Or not that bad?

Never.

Pretending this is 'no big deal' or that Wolff's book is 'good news' is like saying cancer isn't really a medical disaster.

Ugh!
