The mindlessness is unbearable.

Amnesty International tells us that we must “fight the Muslim ban” because Trump’s bigotry is wrecking lives.

 

Anthony Dimaggio at CounterPunch says Trump should be impeached because his Islamophobia is a threat to the Constitution.

This is not to single out these two as the mindlessness is everywhere among those whose worldview is defined by Identity Politics.

The domestic terrorist group, Black Lives Matter, are calling for the killing of members of the public and the murder of President Donald Trump, in a shocking new video.  Footage filmed during an anti-Trump protest in Seattle over the weekend reveals a BLM activist urging other members of the group to “kill people” and “burn the White House”.

The Koch Brothers and their political advocacy group, Americans for Prosperity, held a meeting this weekend in Indian Wells, California for their army of $100,000+ donors that collectively support several conservative groups backed by the brothers.  Among other topics, the Koch donor network, helmed by billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, discussed plans to rally support for Trump's SCOTUS pick.  According to Axios, top Koch officials said they're waiting for the nominee's identity to be revealed, but they liked the initial list of names Trump released. 

A document from the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) indicates that Donald Trump took steps last week to outmaneuver nonprofit organizations, leaving them unable to officially campaign against him over the next few years of his Presidency.
