Today's Must-Read: What a Pathetic Creature

This post, by Tom Sullivan at Hullabaloo, lays out what a total loss as a human being our "president" is:

The warnings have become clichés. There is no bottom. When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. You can fool some of the people all of the time, etc. But as the country devolves into what the rest of world might describe as a hellhole, it is not clear what comes next after Monday. But it won’t be pretty.

Sullivan goes down the line and lays it out.

The trigger for this one is Trump having the police gas and fire flash-bangs and rubber bullets at peaceful, unarmed protesters in Lafayette Park, across from the White House, so that he could make a big show of walking across the street to St. John's church for a photo op -- and to prove he's a "real man" after hiding in a bunker the evening before.

In fact, scroll down today's posts at Hullabaloo -- it's pretty grim.
