So are we already heading down the rabbit hole with the Trump presidency re the supposed voter fraud silliness? His insistence on harping on this issue has backed him into a corner - namely, a fraud this big needs to be investigated so why aren’t you investigating it? And now he is - and from what I can see there’s absolutely no evidence of widespread voter fraud. So he looks like a paranoid narcissist who can easily be manipulated into doing foolish things and is not heeding advice from people who know better. None of that’s good.

As I’ve said, there’s a lot riding on this presidency because if it fails the very worst elements of the left will be invigorated and empowered - and that will be a disaster for the country. We’re a very long way from fail - but saner heads need to get control of the situation in that Oval Office otherwise fail is likely where we’re headed. I mean, there’s no way Priebus thinks fixating on some extremely tentative voter fraud issue is a good idea - so that means Trump isn't listening to his Chief of Staff - so who the fuck is he listening to?

[but then there’s this point of view which ain’t exactly out of bounds crazy - and that’s the thing about Trump - is he a loose cannon? Is there a plan here? Is he being clever or just used to throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks? Who the fuck knows]
