His Cabinet is the perfect example of why we can't rely on "norms" to protect democracy. The Cabinet is supposed to be confirmed by the Senate, but you can get around that by putting in place an "Acting Secretary", and just... never replacing them. Since there isn't an actual rule against, only a "norm", you can just get away with it. This is the low hanging fruit when chipping away at a democracy.

Yeah apparently he's in the gallery with the First Lady. He's definitely going to get a shout out because he just admitted he's got advanced Lung Cancer.

He literally ALWAYS says he rebuilt the military at these addresses. And literally everything time it doesn't mean a loving thing, but a cheap applause line.

He also loves to pretend to give a poo poo about Black and Brown people in his speeches. It's not to get their votes, just to make the bigots who support him feel better about themselves.

They're not exactly doing fact-checking, but the Majority Report is roasting him live and occasionally pushing back on his lies.

I'll give Trump this - the man has definitely rallied the entire Republican party under his umbrella.

I can only hope Sanders does something similar.

It'll be difficult. Trump wants everything that the Republican Party wants. Bernie literally wants to tear down all the sacred cows of the Democratic Party and scrub them free of corruption. Not going to be easy.

Argh, I was watching on ABC and its commentary is so one-sided and pro-Trump. They are gushing over him. Is this just what ABC is like?

Yes, that's what corporate news is like. The Majority Report and The Young Turks has much better commentary.

As far as I know, no. They've shown reunited families after the fact as a stunt, but I'm almost positive that this is a first.

Really? There has been some legendarily bad ones in the past. Ones so bad they spawned memes still being used years later. Some so bad they literally destroyed the careers of the person who delivered them. This is just bland...
