MTG, she seems to be showing some capacity for growth, which Trump will never have, as well as a spine, which Johnson completely lacks.

Roberts came up with the β€œmajor questions” doctrine to justify the court interfering in οΏΌotherwise constitutional legislation.

Now Bessent comes up with the β€œsignature policyβ€œ doctrine.

It boils down to β€œif the president really wants to do it, it’s not unconstitutional.”

It’s Calvinball.

I guess will be seeing many more such assessments as younger millennials and Gen Z’ers start running for office.

Way to resort to mindless name calling, with no basis, rather than respond to the substance of the poster’s argument.

Do better, or log off.

Consistently the lamest, laziest, most eye-rolling attempts at contrarian takes.

I think the attempt is to challenge the settled opinions of the stereotypical New York Times Reeder, but his strawmen usually disintegrate before you’ve reached the end of the second or third paragraph.οΏΌ

He must be referring to the Book of Genesis, when Adam, Eve and Karl Marx first discovered original sin.

I'll never get used to the nonsensical drivel that pours from his mouth on a daily basis.

But I'll never get over how his interviewers and those in his party just pretend like nothing is wrong.

This guy, every single day now he responds to a question about one of the administration's illegal and unconstitutional ideas or actions with "Oh I didn't see that" or "I just read the headlines"...

A supercut of all his evasions it would run like 20 minutes long, he is a spineless invertebrate.

Calling crypto interests securities, or at least regulating it as a commodity, isn't "not supporting" it.

The crypto industry can't abide the disclosure or transparency rules other assets comply with, b/c its vapor, only value is what another fool will pay you for it.

It will end badly.

At least we won't have to be reminded of our slack-jawed stupidity once elections are ended and the history books are rewritten.

We can just recite the stirring words of our new Constitution:

"War is peace."

"Freedom is slavery."

"ignorance is strength."

Jesus, who thought that the Ivies would be one of the first groups to willingly agree to a β€œpay to playβ€œ relationship with our federal government?!?

"Maybe....maybe..."

If you are just going to imagineer yourself to the idea that Trump can think more than 10 minutes ahead and won't be manipulated by the next person who speaks to him to change direction again 180 degrees, the economy looks great!

Do people actually pay for this analysis?

Another aspect of Lincoln's evolution on issue of slavery was his political instincts.

He did not get too far ahead of public opinion, and carefully measured the stances he could take and sell to the electorate.

Eric Foner's "The Fiery Trial" ably captures Lincoln's evolution.

Most US citizens have no interest in making Canada the 51st state, but I think many of us envy Canada for its new PM, who has come across as firm, well-spoken and intelligent.

He makes our President look like an ill-informed, ill-spoken bully.

Why should she care about the Pulitzer, she’s no longer a journalist.

What’s the equivalent of the Pulitzer for PR hacks?

I’m sure our farmers and companies like Boeing, Deere, Caterpillar and yes Tesla loved hearing our President say he doesn’t care about foreign markets.

I thought barriers to foreign markets were what started this whole thing?

He is just babbling out of his ass.

None of that makes any sense.

He is blurting out contradictory rationales and updates on a daily basis.

His department store example is a 4 year old’s depiction of global trade.

SNL should do someοΏΌ presidential daily briefing skits, although the real ones may be beyond parody.

how do you brief someone whose ignorance is trumped only by his disinterest in any topic other than himself, and has about a 15 second attention span.

I would pay $1M for video of those briefings.
