With Donald Trump, America is in the process of accepting a new "normal".

Roseanne Barr has a new TV show that sings his praises. The ratings are very high, so the "people" must be right?

It seems that the farther he flies off the rails, the more his followers support him? His lies have become more and more obvious and blatant. Witness his latest lies about Amazon and the US Postal Service. Nobody seems to care or even notice anymore.

A trade war with China? No big deal. Although Mitch McConnell admitted that it did make him a little "nervous".

And Robert Mueller has told his lawyers that he is not a "target" in the investigation. He is only a "subject" of the investigation. No doubt, Donald Trump will interpret that as a victory and as clearing him of any charges of "collusion" or criminal liability. He will declare himself innocent of all charges.

Then, we can return to "normal".

Mueller investigation then we will be telling the rest of the human family we must not be trusted and we must not be interacted with, that we are just too dangerous and stupid.

Most of the writing staff are left-wing liberal Democrats - same with the actors.

We'll just stop being outraged and it will be the new normal. We can't stop being outraged.
