Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. We are now just 51 days from donald trump becoming president of the United States and more and more people appear to be confronting the very real possibility that trump will use the full force and power of the Us Government to benefit his sprawling business interests and enrich himself and his family. Today a largely unknown apparently pretty plucky little government office, the office of government ethics, which is charged with preventing conflicts of interest in the executive branch took to twitter to congratulate trump for addressing the issue. Unleashing a very trumpian ninetweet tweet storm that included, quote, real donald trump oge is delighted that youve decided to difbest your businesses. Right decision, exclamation point. Bravo, only way to resolve these conflicts of interest is to divest. Good call. We told your counsel wed sing your praises if you divested, we meant it. That was not hack. We made sure. It was also sadly what the k
States and qatar. What will bring the crisis to a close . I will ask qatars former Prime Minister. Also, the trump boom. Why have american stock markets gone up, up and further up while the country is mired in political turmoil and paralysis . Well have an explanation. Finally, americas census counts its people every ten years. This country is embarking on a census to count its islands, and there are thousands of them. But first heres my take. This weeks shooting at a congressional baseball practice was a ghastly example of the Political Polarization that is ripping this country apart. Political scientists have shown that congress is more divided than at any time since the end of reconstruction. I for one am struck not simply by the depth of partisanship these days but increasingly its nature. The feeling seems to me that people on the other side of the divide are not just wrong and to be argued with, they are immoral and must be muzzled or punished. This is not about policy. The chasm

Two years ago, republican Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell mocked the democrats by refusing to even meet with president obamas court nominee. In 2018 with a handful of months before election day, one that will decide which Party Controls the senate, democrats owe it to their party, principals and their own survival to do to mitch what mitch did to them. If this strikes anyone as a men fes toe from me so be it. It is a statement of political reality. The Democratic Base will not accept failure and not listen to arguments how the 49 Senate Democrats could not stop the 50 voting republicans from picking a Supreme Court for much of the century. Justice kennedy was the defining force that is saved apportion rights is, marriage equality, tolerance and respect for individual decision making. He believes as he told me personally there needs to be some form of punishment for a woman choosing an abortion.
