Holy Shit

Regardless of what Merriam-Webster says, the word of the day is lodestar.  I can’t figure out if yesterday’s anonymous NYT op-ed writer is a brave patriot sounding the alarm or a moral coward.  Unless it was Mike Pence, then it's definitely the latter.  In any case, here’s Charlie Pierce’s take:

With this and the Woodward book, do we have enough evidence that Trump is not fit for office?  Actually, once Omarosa chimed in, I was convinced. As many pundits have already stated, all you had to do was look at his rally speeches in 2016 and you would have known he wasn’t fit to be a ward heeler. And there was that birther thing.

My TDS has kicked into high gear and may cause my head to blow up. I expect this would please Gina Loudon, who used “science” to determine that "it is quite possible that this president is the most sound minded person to ever occupy the White House."  I want to get her take on climate change, since she sounds like a very stable genius.
