Who knew the anti-Trump resistance was going to be led by… <checks notes> Greyhound and Harvard

To be clear, nothing - NOTHING - Joe Biden said 4 years, including his debate meltdown, comes anywhere close to the insanity, unreality, unhingeness, of Trump repeatedly insisting - even when the interviewer is letting his crazy lie pass - that it was a real image of his knuckles

I consider myself extremely pessimistic but I think this take is about right. I had feared at the beginning of this year that political gravity would not effect Trump. But it has. And I think, well, that Trump's already lost. Oh! Here's a gift link: talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump...

Conservative Christians always tell me God is mysterious when they can't answer difficult questions. But God is not at all mysterious when it comes to hating gay sex. Funny how that clarity goes right along with the bigotries of these Christians themselves.

Gretchen Whitmer got shanghaied into going on stage with Trump at the AF base and participating in a "thank you Mr President" ritual. It's the second time in a month. Come on... Democrats have to stop putting themselves in this position.

Let’s normalize putting the name of the corporation that owns the private prison in the headline whenever something like this happens

Nothing to see here. Just a president placing pressure on a private business to provide more favorable political optics

Great thread here. It is exactly as I remember it. And the analysis is dead on. Note also that the Afghanistan withdrawal wasn't actually bad. There was one bad incident but based on the press, you would have thought it was terrible from top to bottom.

This should go without saying, but believing that a crime committed by a trans person proves anything about trans people, generally, is the absolute fucking definition of bigotry.

When "The Fall of the US Empire" is written, this should be final paragraph.

Excellent article! With good advice: "This is a moment to point out that Trump invented an emergency to make a power grab, and with that invented emergency created a real, global one."

Remember when that super smart brown lady was going to pass an anti-gouging law and people mocked her? There's gonna be a shit-ton of gouging in the weeks ahead.

I fear Trump & Co will claim that the coming disaster is "Biden Time Bomb" or something similar. And that's all that 40% of the country will hear while Democratic elites are again caught flat-footed.

There seems to be a flaw in Donald Trump's plan to isolate China.

We thought the argument over the Confederacy was pretty much over. Turns out Trump and the Republicans had other ideas. But we aren’t pouring nearly enough contempt on those who tolerate or promote this abomination. The latest from my newsletter: paulwaldman.substack.com/p/happy-trea...

Actor Damien Thomas, the unscrupulous Count Karnstein in Hammer’s classic Twins of Evil, had died aged 83. Farewell sir and thank you for your fine work! 🖤

- He hasn’t accepted that he’s a lame duck - The process, whatever its outcome, is an extended news event that will inform and influence American voters - It would give the Senate Democrats another chance to try making it a real trial of the facts -It’s the only remedy the Constitution affords us
