So, seems like we’re not all that serious about fighting the war on drugs after all.

Still funny the trump presidency is exactly what republicans and the press claimed the Biden presidency was

I remember when if Biden wasn’t seen in public for more than 12 hours it was front page news.

The Bubble-Wrapped President Trump surrounds himself with those who flatter him in places where he is comfortable.

Trump’s echo chamber:

Very little U.S travel

No rallies or contact with supporters

Right-wing media

Dinners with rich donors and billionaires

Truth Social

Lack of staff to tell him no www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

it is the worst of all worlds. a "unitary *presidency*" insulated from judicial or congressional power and a weak president unable to do the job of governing

thinking more about this: it is highly ironic that at the same time that it serves as a test case for the "unitary executive," this administration is all but being led by two subordinate officials with no immediate political accountability.

There are way too many observers and columnists who don’t get that an authoritarian leader can exist in a still democratic or nominally democratic republic, and that that is often how absolute nightfalls begin, but also that just because we have an authoritarian ruler now does not mean a complete…

Pete Hegseth responded to all this with the smirking, adolescent sadism of a schoolyard bully pulling the legs off of a spider. Now juxtapose this with the horror experienced by a source who saw the imagery of the men being blown apart in the water:

Love how Democrats are judged by the most unhinged posts of random weirdos but Republicans are never called to answer for the actions of their elected representatives.

this is at least the second time he’s claimed he doesn’t know anything about a pardon he has ostensibly signed, and i feel like that’s two times too many without a follow up question from the press corpse

It's been a good start of the ongoing meeting. Very engaging and so far constructive. Warm atmosphere, conducive to potential progressive outcome. Great leadership of@marcorubio. As in Geneva I appreciate the attitude of
@jaredkushner, and how he lays out a vision.

I’d rather question why is Kushner there and why is he laying out a vision? We did not vote him into any gov position nor the senate we voted for has approved his candidacy.

This isn’t a grey zone anymore, it’s 50 shades of grey.
