Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

This is why I keep argue, at every possible point, that Trump is failing. Not to create a sense of complacency, but to show people that resistance to authoritarianism is working

does feel interesting that there's a common trope in horror movies that's basically "wise native tries to warn the civilized whites but they don't take heed" and liberal audiences eat it up despite it being, you know, real basic magic negro stuff

It sounds hyperbolic, I know, but I genuinely believe that wikipedia incorporating LLM-produced article summaries, or sanctioning LLM-produced articles, would signal the end of the internet as we've known it.

Yeah if I thought there was even a 5% chance of being renditioned to Gitmo or El Salvador for the crime of leaving my passport at the hotel, I would simply not travel. This is going to kill tourism.

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more
