I feel like i’m going insane because the Trump hiring Paul Manafort story was news for half a second and then everyone moved on? what?

Not exactly sure what it takes for a Trump story to register. Constantly amazed about what gets coverage and what doesn't. Seems like if it isn't gross, violent or salacious the media just passes on it. Regular old criminality and association with other criminals is just meh.

@scottmstedman it’s not really news. The election will boil down to reproductive rights and democracy, not campaign managers.

No, it really is news that Trump is bringing in a convicted (and pardoned) criminal, who has essentially worked for Putin, for a major role in his campaign.

@mastodonmigration @scottmstedman I apologize. What I mean is it should be anything other than what we should expect? He surrounds himself with criminals, etc. But it’s not surprising.

Understood. It wears us down. But, it is still outrageous. We can't let this become normal.
