Between stuff like this and Kennedy's retro health care approach, we see how they'll bring down the cost of living: reduce demand by millions of people.

Like Mamdani, Republicans supposedly want to reduce the cost of living, home ownership, etc. But if every Democrat who wants to do the same is a socialist, communist, you have to conclude that the only solutions Republicans support is, with Herr Kennedy's assistance, "reducing demand."

Do we really have to start chanting “We trust Tulsi.”

I‘m gonna have a hard time making that “I believe Tulsi!” sign. But I went to a “Don’t fire Jeff Sessions” rally, so who knows?

I think Trump decided it would look stupid to try to redo something Obama did that he undid. So boom!

I largely have. Its characterizations of "the other," their origins, and the uses to which they may legally be put leaves something to be desired. As do the portions calling for complete eradication of enemies.

Putting the best face on it, she assumes elected executives can just ignore term limits.

I remember Tom Price and Mick Mulcaney saying this in their Himmler glasses first term. People weren’t happy. Then, they forgot.

Legal? So? We frame too many debates in this country on constitutionality/unconstitutionality, absolute power: yes or no, unchecked rights: yes or no. Most of the misery in our public and private lives is caused by immoral and hurtful exercises of perfectly legal discretion.

An exciting finish. Yet totally unwatchable.

Easy fix. Texas lowers the age of permissible marriage (you know they want to) and teachers marry all their students, leading to enshrinement of the constitutional right to polygamy (you know they want to).
