We need to take off the "kid gloves" with the Republicans. We need to stand up to the bullies.

Trump and the GOP are ruthless and non-feeling. Hell, I even doubt that butter would melt in their mouths. We need to respond to their vicious attacks in kind. In other words, we need to employ more extreme methods than we would normally do. No more Mr. Nice Guy. Referring to Mitch McConnell as "Moscow Mitch" is a good start. And, it's catching on. I'm sure his constituents just love hearing him called that. NOT.

The Press Has Adopted Trump’s Reality-Show Standards.

The reaction to the special counsel’s testimony shows how deeply the president has conditioned the media to treat political events like reality television.
