Amused to Death [1]
['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

I watched the national and local news tonight. The new CBS news team acted like it was just another day of politics as usual, with Republicans winning, ho hum. The local news spent about five minutes of a half hour broadcast on a brief mention of the goings on in Washington. Then off to a Big Bang Theory rerun, then the new Hollywood Squares, then...
I hate to sound like the little boy who yelled wolf, but Trump endorsing large scale ethnic cleansing is a national crisis all by itself. Musk and his pimple-faced tech bros are literally blowing up the traditional functioning of government from 1787 on. If they're writing code into the Treasury Department database they are directly bypassing every element of governance and will functionally control twenty percent of the economy. Grandma's Social Security check, disaster aid to North Carolina, bills from defense contractors, farm subsidies, your tax refund - all dependent on the whims of an unelected stereotypical Bond villain. This is crazy beyond my wildest imagining. And the national media seems oblivious.
The United States is on fire, and we're being amused to death.
