Nothing fuels progressive passion quite like a fresh Trump scandal — preferably one involving a plane, a salad, or a punctuation mark.

One week it’s “threat to democracy,” the next it’s “foreign influence,” then suddenly we’re back to “fascist" and "cult."

So what’s it going to be next week?

Here’s a prediction: Trump’s dog—wait, no, he doesn’t have one—Trump’s neighbor’s dog barks during a solar eclipse, and MSNBC runs a breaking news chyron: “Symbolic Rejection of Science?” The Atlantic drops a 12,000-word piece on the historical trauma of canine lunar denialism. Hollywood celebrities stage a virtual candlelight vigil for the sun.

Or perhaps the outrage will come from Mar-a-Lago. Word leaks that Melania grows “unregistered” mint in the garden. A Whole Foods employee claims he/she once saw her snip a sprig without first acknowledging the indigenous Gods of America. Congressional hearings begin within hours. AOC livestreams a tearful message about the colonial implications of DIY cocktails.

The Constitution stipulates that “No Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi and top White House lawyer David Warrington looked into the matter and concluded the plan is “legally permissible,” ABC News reported. They concluded that receiving the plane is above board because it is not being given to the president conditioned on an official act.

The jumbo-jet, valued at $400 million, will then potentially be transferred it to the Trump presidential library foundation as the president leaves office, sources told ABC News.

I cannot really determine if I have just grown up to see everything's true colors or if everything just turned to shit (or a combination of both).

I remember the "good ol' days" in my youth when I could trust most adults. Teachers and school staff/administrators actually held a tight ship. I felt most adults back then took responsibility and accountability and made the right decisions.

As it stands today, I feel like I am surrounded by a bunch of careless and clueless idiots. No one wants to take accountability, and I am skeptical to place the safety of my child in anyone's hands. I feel like we have backslided and common sense for a lot of things has went out the window.
