We have a history of being culturally and racially myopic.

This is 2017, not 1965, to quote the great comic strip Candorville.

So your two examples boil down to:

I really don’t feel like it’s that petty to force this administration to be truthful, no matter how small the issue. They’ll really twist anything/everything if no one calls them out. Facts matter!

I agree. Establishing that they are compulsive liars is ideal. . . at least in a sane universe. (Sigh)

We will deal with serious issues, but this inauguration attendance issue is no small thing. If the administration is willing to lie about something so trivial, how dishonest will they be about big, important things?

Or gagging the EPA and USDA, and restarting the Dakota Pipeline - this is just TODAY. Motherfuckers.

I know, right? The only way to really dig into our new *gag*... excuse me... president is to hit him where it hurts: his unearned, fragile pride.

We can do both, easily.

Petty? Yes. But, clearly, they are egging Trump on so he can blow this up and mess up. They are trying to give him enough rope to hang himself.

Add another to the petty pile! Last night, His Royal Anus met with congressional leaders and decided to inform them of his loss of the popular vote to all of the illegals. I can’t wait to see this waste spontaneously combust from his own narcissism and “alternative reality.”

Nope. This goes to the US Attorney’s Office in DOJ. DC has very limited authority for local prosecution.

I mean, I can see where he’s going with it in his follow-up.

This is some petty shit and I am living for it.

I think it will be much sooner. Drumphf’s thin skin and his overwhelming need to be worshipped won’t tolerate longer than thirty days. I actually won’t be surprised if it even happens in the next couple of weeks. The very first press conference showed how much they are gunning for the press. When that happens, all…

Hey America. You have noticed all the building blocks of the ultimate fascist dictatorship that are now in place in your country right?

I feel like there’s going to be a lot more arrests of journalists in the coming months/years.

Add this one to the “rioting” charge they tried to slap on Amy Goodman for covering another protest... and we already know the Rethuglicans don’t want to run the risk of protests/protestors ever being portrayed in a non-negative light.... and Drumpfelstiltskin has a preexisting condition against the press.... and…

How long does everyone think it’ll take before journalists are arrested for reporting? I’ll give it four months, six if we’re lucky.

Another day in Kim Jong Orange’s Murica.
