Depressing lunchtime reading

I've queued up a few articles to read while eating lunch. I just hope I don't lose said lunch after reading them:

• Jeet Heer worries about President Trump's willingness to destroy everything around himself to distract from his own scandals.
• Catherine Rampell walks through the ways the administration's policy of separating children from parents at the border reveals the GOP's grand scam.
• James Fallows lays out the ways the administration continues to screw up our relationship with China.
• Josh Marshall, despite returning the basic facts of Trump's con, remains cautiously optimistic we can still slow the anti-liberal retrenchment going on.

Le sigh.
