The current headlines are obsessed with Drumpf's Twitter feud with John Lewis. The feud and the headlines are both as offensive as they are tiresome. This is pageantry and a distraction. I guess to whatever extent it humiliates and undercuts his credibility and approval rating it is all fine and good. But I would really like the focus to stay on policy, the hard fights and complicated issues. Not the easy fights.
China sent its only aircraft carrier into the South China Sea, or something like that. Disputed waters. Drumpf's Secretary of State nominee, Rex Tillerson, former CEO of Exxon, has expressed disapproval of this and the whispers among the headline weeds say China state media is reporting that these are fightin' words, Drumpf could be getting us into war.
A lot of news about all the protests coming up in the next week and a half, in D.C. and nationwide. Several demonstrations in the twin cities, I heard 200 buses have been reserved in D.C. for inauguration attendees, 1200 buses reserved for protests/demonstrations.
