On the other hand, some hypothetical future president might need some hypothetical bold fearlessness that requires them to commit crimes. Against that twisted logic, Jack Smith — and the American people — never stood a chance."

What would I ask? "What was your analysis of the Houthi Bombing in October? What counsel would you give POTUS regarding next actions?" "What should the US strategy be in Syria ?" " How would you counter Chinese aggression on the south China Sea ?" "How would you assure civilian oversight of DOD"

Ann Telnaes, a Washington Post editorial cartoonist who has been with the newspaper for sixteen years, just quit her job after the cartoon below—which depicts Post owner Jeff Bezos and other CEOs bowing to Donald Trump—was spiked. It's another huge blow to the credibility of a once-great newspaper.

"Gannett, which owns USA Today and hundreds of local papers, has the same perverse incentive to hand Trump a stack of cash that ABC did: Paying him off is still cheaper than losing access, and much less dangerous than being in Kash Patel’s crosshairs."

Now that we've discovered the kind of man Trump WANTED to be Attorney General, maybe we had better insist on similarly invasive investigations of his other nominees to make sure they at least ask the age of the high school juniors they pay for sex.

This is so huge and important. Grateful to President Biden for this important decision. Thankful for the advocates who have worked so hard over years for this. (Yes, wish it was 40 of 40, bu this is good. Great, even). apnews.com/article/bide...

Trump nominated Gaetz to be the chief law enforcement officer of the United States, knowing full well this damning report was out there

Remember, we heard from multiple GOP House members that Gaetz bragged about a lot of this on the House floor. But they were still fine with him being Trump’s AG pick.

Trump seems determined to take a blow torch to alliances and partnerships around the world that a couple dozen of his predecessors painstakingly established over a century of war and diplomacy, which pleases nobody on planet earth more than his friend Vladimir Putin.

New: ABC bends the knee "ABC’s capitulation is disconcerting on multiple fronts. It diminishes trust in media and sets a terrible precedent. Meanwhile, Trump not only suffers no consequences but is showered with money. It underscores that independent coverage is needed now more than ever."

One issue with "Trump's playing 5D chess with nominees" is that he and his team are flatfooted on issues that arise with them. It's almost like—bear with me—some dim narcissist who refuses expertise is choosing people he saw talk good about him on the teevee, without much thought beyond that.
