THE UGLY
The distance between "salvageable" and "critical failure, utterly fucked, welcome to Berlin, Happy New Year 1933" is now measured in hours and single-digit decisions, not months and hypothetical worst-case scenarios. Add Trump's growing insanity into the mix and baby, you got a stew going.

THE BAD
Posse Comitatus is a thing of the past as Marines start to detain civilians in LA. Goons who are answerable to a cabinet member assaulted a senator, and Trump is threatening force against peaceful protest in advance because he REALLY wants his Super Special Yay For Donald Day.

It's not überfucked yet, though.
THE GOOD
The federal judiciary is still processing emergency motions at high speed, senior military leaders have not yet broken public ranks with Trump, and the markets are jittery but functional, no thanks to Israel.

He doesn't give a shit about numbers. Public opinion doesn't matter to him. He's untouchable and he's getting to live out his racist authoritarian ambitions. From his perspective, he hasn't stopped winning where it really matters.

Very cool. I saw him at the first Live At The Marquee. He was barely in touch with reality at the time and he took us all with him for a while.

In Cork? Did you stay for the after-credits scene?

White European athletes only, I presume. Trump won't want a Jesse Owens moment at his games.

I've still never had one. I'm told I'm missing out.

They think they'll be on the "winning" side. It's authoritarian opportunism.

Well that's fucking bullshit, Tom, because the biggest threat is living in government housing on Pennsylvania Avenue.

Really? Because that's what most of you seem to be doing so far.

Then arrest them for being violent. Masks are legal.
