Tomorrow in the NYT: I voted for Donald Trump because I hate the people he hates and wanted to see them suffer. Now that I am suffering, why can’t you find it in your heart to be sympathetic? RUDE

In the same way that W.H. Auden’s poem “September 1, 1939” spontaneously appeared across the dialogue in the aftermath of 9/11, this line from Gatsby has followed the Don. But also remember Auden: “Those to whom evil is done do evil in return.”

Honestly, if we could get Leon and Rand Paul to spend the next 4 years counting gold bullion, we’d all be the safer for it.

Had a conversation with my Dad about how we should file our taxes early this year bc, you know, the voters decided to immolate the civil service over the price of eggs, so we did, and, like and behold, Leon and his 19-year-old Incel crew announces they’re targeting the IRS.

I think Musk is the kryptonite. No one likes him. I don’t think even Trump, or a good portion of Trumpers, like him. Focus all the negative messaging on him, channel the negative coverage on him. As an added bonus he is super insecure and fragile and he will lose his mind

When the MAGA say “D-E-I/A,” what they’re really saying is the n-word, or whatever slur applies in the particular situation. Also, the “A” part of the acronym I take personally, since I expect the admin to go after Obamacare and mental health parity, which I view as a direct threat to my life.

Jan 6 was investigated and largely prosecuted as domestic terrorism. The pardons should be reported and spoken of accordingly. An endorsement of terrorism. Trump sprung his terrorist network - including, by extension, himself.
