Non-Sequiturs: 08.25.17

* Trump is ready to pardon Joe Arpaio. Senate Republicans get ready to shrug their shoulders and say "As long as the GOP has a strategy to prevent Latinos from voting, this will not be a problem." [CNN] * Trump is ready to end DACA. Senate Republicans get ready to shrug their shoulders and say "Seriously Kris Kobach, this whole "Latinos don't get to vote" plan REALLY needs to work now." [NBC News] * Every extreme weather event now results in the same conversation: Media: Did global warming cause this [thing that happens from time-to-time] Scientists: No. Climate Change doesn't work like that. Probably makes things worse though. Trumpsters: TOLD YOU. #ClimateChangeHoax #GodsWill #MAGA #WaitWhatIsFloodInsurance? [Quartz] * The stupid Zillow case, where plaintiffs argued that the "Zestimate" made their homes harder to sell, has been tossed in federal court. And by "stupid" I mean "Zestimate overvalues my house by like 30% and I'm seriously considering selling before they fix their algorithm." [Crain's Business Review] * Shorter Gary Cohn: I hate Nazis, but I also hate high taxes so... [Financial Times] * Shorter GOP: The only thing that can defeat Nazis is tax cuts. [Levin Report] * I'll admit, I took the whole "Steve Mnuchin and his wife were in Kentucky on eclipse day to talk about tax reform and check in on Fort Knox" cover story for Louise Linton's shopping trip at face value. Which was stupid. NEVER believe anything coming out of this administration. The Mnuchins were in Kentucky to watch the eclipse. [Fox News] * Breitbart is awash in potshots at Gary Cohn. But further down, you find this perfect Breitbart story: "France’s Macron Spends £24,000 on Makeup in Three Months." If these guys really want to be outraged, they should investigate how much Trump spends on his hair. [Breitbart]
