How Trump hacked the judiciary
His fake "emergencies" are pushing the country toward autocracy.
New in PN: How Trump hacked the judiciary
"The DOJ hit on a strategy that works: exploiting little-known, sometimes never-before-used laws as the basis for Trumpβs constant states of emergency. Because of gaps in the law, Trump is able to exploit the judiciaryβs deference to the executive branch."

Personalist regimes always suffer from this, but then on top of that we have a personalist regime built on a man who is not just ignorant and malign, he is properly non compos mentis. Pretending he's capable of holding public office and giving orders at all is a kind of mass delusion.

For decades, presidents have looked at striking Iran and opted against it out of concern for the very repercussions weβre seeing right now.

The world is run by a madman and it's driving us all nuts
The president is obviously out of his mind. So why don't investors seem to care?

I would never have suspected that a Pentagon run by Sweaty McGymbro, which changed the Department of Defense to Department of War, would have no plan for the Iranians closing the straight or Hormuz, the most wargamed scenario since the 70s probably...its almost like he isn't qualified for the job

Scott Bessent got called away to the Situation Room mid-interview.
When he got back, he was asked what was happening. Bessent said Trump was in "great spirits."
He then randomly volunteered that he had a teen "considering military service" and would trust his child's life with Trump and Hegseth.

Partly related on the point made here, this angry rant is in my inbox. (Complaints are not just combat, but yeah, lots of combat.) Presented in a 3 part thread, because that long (and trying to keep screenshots in alt text limits). Otherwise without comment. Unpack this TTRPG friends. 1/3

Some ppl think every game has to be pages of charts and grindy complicated equations or that every rpg scene is a fight (it might be two Samurai having a fierce staredown over tea and still be engaging). Less math is sometimes good and fast and fun. Games win when they are fun to play.
