How did Whitmer end up in an Oval Office ceremony with Trump, Newsom hosting a MAGA-fluffing podcast, various frontline Dems hedging their trade war critiques, and House Dems preparing not to run on Trump corruption again? I have a grand unified theory. www.offmessage.net/p/how-politi...

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record
