Drunk on power and ketamine

Nazi salutes are having a moment. Our critic weighs in. Steve Bannon’s offered precise form worthy of 1930s Germany, but Elon Musk’s honored the drug-fueled mania of the original Nazis.

wtop.com/virginia/202... I have no sympathy. Everyone saw and knew who/what Trump was; he told everyone what he was going to do. He was clearly predatory and transgressive. He enjoyed being cruel and hurting others. Why did they think they, as Trump voters, would be a protected class?

wtop.com/virginia/202... “I voted for Donald Trump. But this is not what I was expecting,” he said. “We didn’t think they were going to take a chainsaw to a silk rug.” Or at least, to our silk rug. It was those other people’s rugs Trump was supposed to take a chainsaw to. the ones who ‘deserved it’.

Absolutely. And Sean O'Brien is proud of his aggressive misogyny as well, as evidenced by his shocking comment about Kamala Harris, “Let me ask you a question, Marty. Excuse my French. Who does this f–king lady think she is?” he remembered asking Walsh." So I hope he enjoys the Trump presidency.

Here’s a description of the rejected ad. Does anyone have the actual copy? It should be disseminated widely.

One of the greatest tricks that Donald Trump and Elon Musk ever pulled is to convince millions of people that DOGE is about government efficiency. It's about narcissistic, resentful destruction: The Death of Government Expertise. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I’m sure it’s just my TDS, but I think Trump is proving to be exactly as bad as we said he was going to be and people who acted like we were hysterical should be embarrassed they didn’t do more to try and stop it.

Outrageous. 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses and dentists terminated by DOGE. Will have a devstating effect on the health of Native Americans.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

www.cnn.com/2025/02/14/w... “The sins the audience and Europe were accused of are, in reality, occurring in Russia. Putin was not mentioned. The bad guys were the United States’ own allies. And the real threat to Western democracy was itself.” Vance is cringe. Pompous, ponderous and pretentious.

www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m... "Musk's DOGE has posted classified information about the size and staff of a U.S. intelligence agency on its new website, raising bigger concerns about where Musk’s programmers got this information and what they are doing with it." What ARE they DOING with it?

Imagine hearing these details – lawyers are locked in room and threatened with being fired until they agreed to dismiss —in Putin or Stalin‘s Russia. Utter brutality, putting a rule of law on a meat grinder.

They are not just brutes, but also knaves. It was Bove’‘s foolish letter to Sassoon that put them on this Stalinist path, and Bove’s Trumpian hubris that kept him from cutting his losses and going down as the worst villain in DOJ history.

Catching up on this Musk Oval Office appearance and, optics aside, it's like a brave explorer holding a press conference from the first peak in the Dunning-Kruger range. Just so much confident opining on stuff that even casual observers can spot as completely wrong.

A fundamental story of the last decade is that a lot of basically incompetent people got fed up by competent people telling them they were wrong, constructed a more welcoming alternative ecosystem of competency cosplayers, and then somehow turned the whole government over to them.

I can’t believe the Supreme Court said the president was above the law and now the president is acting like he’s above the law.

A good illustration of first vs second Trump term. In the first, Trump drew a fake hurricane path on a map with a sharpie. In the second, Elon Musk’s twentysomething minions have taken over computer systems at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration directly.
