It's simply demoralizing sharing a country with people who think Donald Trump is someone worth emulating: to be surrounded by that kind of moral inversion every single day, to be continually encountering such cruelty. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-grief-...

Imagine if Joe Biden had made one of the Krassentein brothers deputy director of the FBI. That would have been a way less controversial or outrageous move than making Dan Bongino - man too extreme for Fox! - deputy director of the FBI (!)

It’s important to remember that the broligarchy believes in the entire privatization of government services (which, of course, they will provide), overseen by a “CEO,” i.e., dictator. So the idea is you won’t pay taxes, you will pay them. Eventually. That’s where they are headed

Trump posted his lie about “turning on the water” at 11:12 PM last night and CA responded with the facts less than two hours later. Can most other Democrats PLEASE learn from this? At SOME POINT? It isn’t 1996. Calling a press conference days later is USELESS. Rapid react!

Trump previously signed an Executive Order banning TikTok, worried it would ruin his reelection chances. If he "saves" it, he will have simply undone what he originally did—keeping his pattern of creating a non-existent threat, creating an unnecessary emergency, and then taking credit for fixing it.
