One obstacle is a neurotic fear of making what the speaker views as "mistakes". Some speakers (who don't have the luxury of a teleprompter) insist on reading every word to their audience, and it's inevitably--and painfully--artificial.

When Donald Trump shoots the person on 5th ave, we shouldn't be asking if that person was jay walking. And I don't care if a career prosecutor thinks it's right or wrong. Who do you think are in all these courtrooms advocating for terrible things? Career DOJ lawyers who have made lot of compromises.

It's not clear what "serious" lawyers are left at the DOJ, and whether there's actually any "serious" legal work that's being done. Any attorney with any self-respect--not to mention hopes for marketability in a future career--must be hard at work on an escape plan.

I happen to agree with this. "No Kings" unnecessarily sweeps up Merry Olde King Cole, King Arthur, King Richard the Lionheart, and King Curtis, one of the most underappreciated R&B artists of the 20th century.

Yes, but so much of it is chemical--you can't teach it. That's the trap that "consultants" open up. They've got a playbook, a "formula". Screw formulas. Follow your gut, and if your gut isn't in it you should be doing something else. It's not a checklist.

The Fetterman thing. What a goddamn mess. He is going to be primaried because they just don't like him. A lot of Senators don't like each other, but they don't like Fetterman, none of them, they can't rely on him or do business with him. It's far less the Trump angle, which is overstated.
