trump's new rock bottom

http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/11/politics/trump-rock-bottom/index.

The President's 'shithole' remark is being received much differently inside of the White House than it is outside of it. Though this might enrage Washington, staffers predict the comment will resonate with his base, much like his attacks on NFL players who kneel during the National Anthem did not alienate it."

this Trump-era GOP is not a barrel, or a quarry of some sort, or even a swamp. it's more like a sewer or black hole of awfulness.

our descent is, and will remain, incomplete no matter how far we fall. by next week, a new outrage will have pushed the frontier.
