Pussy Riot - Make America Great Again
Forgive me, This is going to be a hard week for all of us and I'm not in the mood to pretend that it's all good. I truly believe that this is a dark time for the nation and the world.
But here are our Sunday morning anchors, eager to normalize and focus on the bread and circuses. Let's watch Chuck Todd chastise other journalists for publicizing fake news. Watch George Stephanopoulos glide right past a hostile foreign power interfering in our elections. Let Chris Wallace pretend that there's anything other than dishonor in tweeting nastiness to a civil rights icon like John Lewis. Let John Dickerson act like an inauguration in which no one wants to perform, much less to attend. Let Jake Tapper ignore the far larger numbers of the Marches for Women all across the nation the next day. We know the truth. None of this normal. None of this is acceptable. None of this will make America great.
