At this point can anyone still see the rubicon we've crossed or is it too far back in the distance?

Tucker Carlson justified Kim Jong-un's murderous regime: "You've got to be honest about what it means to lead a country, it means killing people. A lot of countries commit atrocities, including our allies."

Leading a country means torturing and putting a visiting American into a vegetative state and leaving him to die? Leading a country means killing people who say bad things about your policies? Or your uncle if he fails at something? Or a diplomat if he doesn’t seal the deal? So we will compare Korea to other countries that are much less heinous and crazy to normalize them? Brilliant.

And the evolution of the far right is now complete. From turning their backs on free trade and fiscal responsibility to embracing Nazis to caging immigrant children to justifying state sponsored murder. Sorry Hillary, but Deplorable was an understatement.

It took me a while to realize this, but it has become apparent that trump isn’t taking the GOP anywhere they didn’t already want to go. He has only opened the doors for them to walk through.

My whole life I believed the GOP was better than this. I was dead wrong.

Be proud, GOP.

I shouldn't need to point out that this sort of immoral justification is how a nation descends further into atrocities and autocracy.

And yet, here we are.

May the first country without an expansive concentration camp system cast the first stone.

Seriously, there is something profoundly wrong with these people.

Trump doesn’t even pretend to care about human rights. I doubt he even grasps what the phrase means or why anyone would be disturbed by the atrocities Kim inflicts on his own people on a mass scale.
