They have become so conditioned to ignore his rambling nonsense that it essentially gives him carte blanche to do or say whatever he wants and no one will even flinch.

Of the things this asshole has said and done this probably doesn't even make the top 5.
I would care more about if I thought we had a functional DOJ or court system or news media but we do not.

I honestly believe that he could personally attack them in their offices and it still would not matter. Our court system has created a POTUS that is completely above the law and Republicans in Congress are slavishly loyal to him and would never impeach him no matter what he did.
