As Bad as the Comey Firing’: Post-Rob Porter, the Trump White House is Drowning in Backbiting, Chaos, and Blame

It's neat and all that the Trump era is going the way it is behind the scenes, but politics and reporting in general has turned into the tabloids. The news is TMZ, print media is People Magazine, and every internet news source has turned into a strange amalgam of Perez Hilton, Long Days and Nights, and D-Listed. I guess it makes the stories quicker and easier to churn out, the material easy to digest, and the public tuned in, but really, come on. Things keep getting more and more farcical because no one has any standards anymore and the bar is completely nonexistant. Through this asinine charade of a presidency, he has literally turned things into a 3 ring circus, and I am beginning to feel we are really past the point of no return in terms of what society "was" as recently as 4 years ago.
