Just watching the shitshow that is modern America in the wake of the Gorsuch nomination.

First, conservatives are rejoicing. And, frankly, acting a little relieved. I don't get it. From what I understand, Judge Gorsuch would have been on the short list for any Republican President. Are conservatives really that uncertain about Mr.Trump? From my perspective, every step that the man has taken since election day would reassure conservatives as much as they appall me in signalling a hard right turn.

Secondly, the media. I watched Morning Joe today while the hosts just gushed about how "Presidential" Trump was last night, in contrast to the disaster of the weekend. Sure, the ceremony went off smoothly. But Trump just walked up to the podium and introduced his pick. I mean, does that warrant gushing like he's a small puppy who has just learned to pee on the papers? The bar must be pretty low.

Yea, Trump managed to act like a reasonable Human Being for a few minutes. He announced his supreme court pick without saying anything offense to Muslims, or grabbing a woman by the crotch. Man, that is sooo Presidential. I guess that I am just not that into staging.
