Muscle through
The Times updated its TodayInTrump piece with the newest bad news: Trump’s horrible son-in-law will be senior adviser to his horrible father-in-law.
It has been expected for weeks. Now, Trump transition officials confirm that Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law and a major real estate developer in New York, will be named senior adviser to the president.
The rumored post has focused attention on Mr. Kushner’s myriad potential conflicts of interest, including a Chinese development deal that’s in the works. Then there’s the issue of whether a son-in-law in the West Wing violates antinepotism laws.
But the Trump team will muscle through — as it usually does.
Scum rises.
The laws don’t apply to Trump – at least, that’s what he says, right?
And let the looting begin.
Well, DC was actually built on a swamp, right? So, who better to put up a golden obelisk there?

We humans are congenital experts at deciding what’s normal, regardless of evidence. Allow me to gratuitously quote Douglas Adams:
There’s every chance that this kind of thing will become the new normal, just because it has now happened once.
