This was my refrain all this week: "It just doesn't matter any more." It doesn't matter if Trump is cavorting with a porn star, or even currently having an affair. It doesn't matter if Russian bots aren't even trying to be secretive as they funnel cash into the coffers of Republicans or the NRA. It doesn't matter if Trump says he'll sign whatever bipartisan legislation and then change his mind after Racist John Kelly whispers in his ear. It doesn't matter if three branches of government are controlled by Republicans and they're so incompetent, they can't keep it open. You know why?
