Consider three of the biggest developments in our politics right now: We just learned that the economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, a capstone to a terrible year in terms of job creation. President Trump has fired widely despised Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, a key architect of his mass deportations. And reports are indicating that the killing of scores of Iranian schoolchildren might have been the handiwork of the United States.

What links all these things? In addition to the massive human toll they’re inflicting, they suggest that Trump is about to pull off a unique trifecta. He is squandering the advantage he and Republicans have enjoyed in recent years on three major GOP-friendly issues: The economy, immigration, and national security.

    Saying it’s bipartisan isn’t wrong, but it’s a little like saying “Black people are racist against black people, too.”

    Like, sure. That can be true. But is the real problem not the white supremacists?

    This comparison isn’t a stretch… In fact, they’re the same picture. The GOP is a cancer. This said, the democrats as they stand today are not a solution to the entire mess here. We need minority democrats like Bernie and AOC, or something else entirely.
