Chief Statistician not reporting the results you want?  Find somebody new to cook the books.  Of course with the Trumpenator this is nothing new, and neither is the ridiculous reporting of it.

"The big picture: The overwhelming, all-consuming nature of Trump-driven news cycles makes it difficult to discern partisan hysteria from true democratic backsliding. "

Who are they kidding?  It's not difficult at all, it has nothing to do with "partisan hysteria" at all and is TOTALLY about destroying even a window dressing of "democracy" into a totalitarian state, a dictatorship directed by one narcissistic megalomaniac empowered by a mob of idiots and syncophants.  Yet the "newz media" reports it as though there is some aambiguity and two sides to the story.

"The bottom line: Trump is only six months into his term, and he has already stretched the limits of executive power further than any modern president."

Stretched?  Uh, no.  The elastic limit of this rubber band was exceeded way back when he started targeting law firms that sued him and shit canned FBI agents who investigated him and fined Universities for teaching about Israeli genocide.  There is no ambiguity in the message he has telegraphed from Day 1 in office, which is you either toe his line or "You're FIRED!".  It's Trump's Way or the Highway.  No dissent, no free speech, no constitutional protection, do not pass go, do not collect $200 and go straight to the fucking airport and disappear into a Nicaraguan jail.

Next up: Any climate scientist who claims greenhouse gases are a threat to the environment will be deported also.
