“surreally routine”
“The novelty … has somehow worn off.”
“short attention spans … seen this before”
“priced into the market, as the Wall Street types would put it”
First quote—GOP consultant: “white noise … it all blurs together”
@JamesGleick Biden appears to shrug off large amounts of corruption, while Trump is still being dragged through the courts for January 6th.

The lead news analysis is writing it off as routine because they know it's a dead letter.
