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

Years from now this country is going to have to grapple with the fact that the presidency was effectively vacated, and the first task will be recognizing that the powers of the presidency were assumed by three other people for a few weeks in Jan 2021, which we’ve never really addressed as a nation.

White house: We need to pick a fight.
Rando: Fine. But don't make it a war hero astronaut senator type with a wife who is a victim of gun violence.

“‘So corrupt that Susie Wiles and Steve Bannon find it off-putting’ is a pretty good summary of Trump 2.0. Whether this will stop the Republicans from being portrayed as the party of working-class populism, who can say.”

What's depressing is that it's not just reporters who want to have RFK Jr.'s baby who convinced themselves that RFK Jr. wasn't *really* anti-vaxx despite absolutely overwhelming evidence that he is extremely anti-vaxx. (Hello Senator Cassidy!)

they have in fact convinced themselves that the fuzzy simulacra are in fact as good as or better than the real thing, and in order to maintain this fiction, they *must* refuse to look closer, until they lose even the ability to learn anything from details

The right wing marched through media with bad faith complaints, cowing one institution after another into frightened overcorrection -- a perpetual defensive crouch from which they are pathetically easy to bully & manipulate.

Now it's running the same play on universities, with similar results.

The president is about to start a war for no real reason. All of the things he has blamed on the country he’s targeting — fentanyl distribution, “emptying the asylums” and sending patients to the U.S., alignment with Tren de Aragua— are provably, obviously false.

Lots of people are going to die.
