Wow! And they still appointed her. That is sad news for all of Trumps appointees.

They've got that Trump Derangement Syndrome backward. It is they who are guilty of Trump Derangement Syndrome. They've coupled his derangement with their own derangement.

It's simpler to call it Trump's Derangement Syndrome.

Right, rationalization is a demanding overlord, and MAGAts who used to value knowledge and democratic process are digging deep into that rationalization tool box right now. Projection? check. Gas light? double check. The forces that they must summon to overcome this type of cognitive dissonance must be difficult to sustain.

I hope they become more and more difficult to sustain. And by the way, whatever the hell happened to fatigue. Remember how we were once upon a time able to count on presidential fatigue, anger fatigue, idiot fatigue, and there'd be just a general change that would quietly but suddenly and completely wave across the crowd and everybody was just done. Trump has been able to keep that rage thing going for far, far too long.
