...it has become a wee bit difficult for in-house lackeys, elected Republicans and card-carrying members of the right-wing media to keep up the pretense that Trump and his administration are functioning normally — or even functioning at all.

It is hard to see that any official business is performed...There is almost no actual policy happening and no rationale for the administration’s continued existence.

That is a VERY good point that I had never stopped to consider before! What actual GOVERNING does the admin do? All Trump does all day is watch TV and tweet! There is no raison d’etre. He quit on the epidemic. There is no agenda for a second term. He has quit on the election, he acknowledged that he is going to lose and is just going through the motions of a campaign. Man, if we had a crisis...wait.
