Words fail.

The country is in an existential fight for its life with Krysten Sinema standing in the way of fundamental change that will improve millions of lives.

So, what does the supposed paper of record decide to spend thousands of words analyzing about her choices — her wardrobe!

Read the deep analysis — “Notice was served at her swearing-in on Jan. 3, 2019, when Ms. Sinema seemed to be channeling Marilyn Monroe in platinum blond curls, a white sleeveless pearl-trimmed top, rose-print pencil skirt and stiletto heels: She was never going to revert to pantsuit-wearing banality. . .

And, it made it clear she just wasn’t going to apologize for enjoying shopping. She clearly does a lot of it. So what? As far as she is concerned, she can have her stuff and substance too.

In other words, all those seemingly kooky clothes that Ms. Sinema is wearing aren’t kooky at all. They’re signposts. And the direction they are pointing is entirely her way.“

I mean, WTF?

Millions are hungry, struggling on low wages, dying from a lack of medical care, in a pandemic, while the world burns from a climate crisis that is on the verge of killing us all, and our democracy is threatened by a lawless former President who fomented an actual violent insurrection to try to prevent his successor from taking office.

And we get this?

If this country descends fully into autocracy, the epitaph can say killed by the idiocy of narcissism. And The Times will be one of the murderers.
