Dangerous governance by distraction

Trump's back-firing and illegal immigration orders are soaking up a lot of air time, and that's good, but look how it has overwhelmed other important matters, like his conflicted and unqualified Cabinet nominees, his failure to divest from his business and release his taxes, the calamitous proposed import tax on Mexican goods, and so on.

And the sane dynamic will play out when he releases his Supreme Court pick tomorrow.

Then on to lifting the Russian sanctions, gutting the EPA, green-lighting Paul Ryan's budgetary attack on Obamacare, Social Security, the National Parks and so forth, further clogging media which Trump and Set Bannon are strategically undermining to make it harder to convey good information which people need to stay informed and organized.

Distraction by addition neutralizes the senses. And democracy.
