  <title>Kagro in the Morning - December 31, 2018</title>
  <description> RadioPublic|LibSyn|YouTube|Patreon|Square Cash (Share code: Send $5, get $5!)  Today is the last day that you can that you can donate to KITM and still say you donated this year! We are&amp;amp;nbsp;in the final hours of our December fundraising campaign, and so far we’ve witnessed an incredible outpouring of&amp;amp;nbsp;support. You are the reason we exist, so if you haven’t yet&amp;amp;nbsp;stepped up, chipped in and helped out,&amp;amp;nbsp;we still need you to help reach our goal by midnight tonight! We might even have that tote-bag available in 2019!&amp;amp;nbsp; David Waldman offers us a metaphorical tote-bag of gratitude and wisdom: Back to the “Is Donald Trump diabolical, or delusional”? debate. For Trump, lying is the plan, the distraction, the cement and the bricks in his wall of chaos. &amp;amp;nbsp;Greg Dworkin breaks the metaphors into&amp;amp;nbsp;metonymies and&amp;amp;nbsp;synecdoches, but deep inside finds there really is nothing there. And Donald knows this…&amp;amp;nbsp;or he doesn’t. It doesn’t really matter, because either way it’s worked so far, though it does work less well with each passing day. What do Republicans get from all of this? Nothing. Steve K G Bannon knows the meaning of few words. “Good”, “bad”, “loyalty” are not in his lexicon. Paul&amp;amp;nbsp;LePage&amp;amp;nbsp;doesn't&amp;amp;nbsp;get “plurality”, “majority”, or “democracy”. Meanwhile,&amp;amp;nbsp;incoming Democrats suss out the&amp;amp;nbsp;subtle gradations in the meanings of “existential”, “power”, “leadership”, etc. Other&amp;amp;nbsp;nations have always known the value of&amp;amp;nbsp;speaking symbolically&amp;amp;nbsp;well. &amp;amp;nbsp; </description>
