Do you ever think of a brewery that closed and get a little bummed you can’t sit in that taproom again? That just happened to me.

It’s the billionaires against everyone else and has been for at least a decade, maybe more.

Would love to be wrong but they're so deeply steeped in propaganda and disinformation. I'll be shocked if most voters don't just find a way to blame Democrats.

WOW. Pour one out for a legend. What a special place. And factored big in the Malört narrative!

Because Trump being aimless and incoherent is one thing. 77 million voters being aimless and incoherent is something else.

I’m concerned that the answer is no.

Do Trump voters even care that they didn’t remotely get the guy they voted for?

My guess is he heard someone say “being a wartime president makes you popular” so he thought he’d give it a try.

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.
