Just about the time I think surely we’ve seen the most absurd…. they just never disappoint do they. And, then there was Katie Britt. JFC.

  Nope, they never do.
  
  Some say the world will end in fire,
  Some say in ice.
  From what I’ve tasted of desire
  I hold with those who favor fire.
  But if it had to perish twice,
  I think I know enough of hate
  To say that for destruction ice
  Is also great
  And would suffice.
  
  So said Robert Frost. It never occurred to him, as it did once to Dante, that we might suffer for all eternity up to our noses in shit. Which means, I guess, that Robert Frost could be a better person back then than anyone has much of a chance to be today, after the Trumpian transformation.

  PS: Re Katie Britt. FAFO, karma running over one’s dogma, wages of sin, etc.—all apply, take your pick. Nevertheless, I’ll acknowledge significant progress is being made only when Stephen Miller, clad in orange, is peering out at us from a cage in Alligator Alcatraz.
