I woke up this morning furious at how the Republican candidate for President is still being treated as if a normal person, a normal candidate. Here are the latest things that need to be kept in the news cycle and addressed:

Trump put RFK Jr (who sawed off a dead whale’s head, a possible federal offense, and posed a dead bear on a bicycle, not to mention his unhinged theories about vaccines) on his transition team.

Trump is selling NFT playing cards of himself in “heroic” poses. At a very high price, I might add. THe New Republic calls it “as scammy as ever.”

Trump posed with a “thumbs up” by the grave of a war hero at Arlington Cemetery. His campaign apparently shoved a cemetary worker in order to videotape Trump, which is not allowed without permission. The campaign then claimed the worker was “having a mental health episode.” The person who was assaulted declined to press charges because she was afraid of retribution from Trump.

Trump reposted a sexual insult towards Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton.
