"A problem doesn't exist unless it happens to me, then it's unacceptable" is always a hell of a worldview.

If/when a deMAGAfication of US ever occurs it must begin with the Roberts Court without which none of this would be possible

Where is the lie

in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy

I can't compete with this.

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

Many things are often true at once:

Kamala Harris ran a flawed campaign, people who couldn’t hold their nose to vote for her didn’t do their civic duty to protect this country from all that followed, some of which Harris predicted during her run.

FDA’s Circle of Trust Is Shrinking, Making Many Decisions Feel Like ‘Fiat’ FDA decisions lack majority consensus, experts agree, possibly leading to less nuanced verdicts on new drug applications. This type of “fiat” decision-making, as multiple regulatory experts have calle...

Note: it's not even about the content. Decisions without notice, without transparency, without deliberation and without reasoning undermine the agency's legitimacy.

FDA should not be making decisions by fiat.

From FT comments

Is this an Onion headline?

after absolutely eviscerating Kristi Noem and calling for her resignation, Tillis is applauded. He thens threatens to hold up nominees if she doesn't stop stonewalling him. My God.

DOJ: *quietly pulls dick out of the toaster*

Trump admin: YOU PUT THAT BACK RIGHT NOW.

Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force.

Danish Defense Minister: Continue.

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

I have to say the Post chose a hell of a moment to lay off all their foreign correspondents

Removal from office isn’t remotely adequate to punish these men for their proud misgovernance. They need a jail cell, and that’s the moderate option.

One disgusting aspect of all this is Trump fundamentally doesn’t care about it at all. He barely knows where any of these places are. He likes cash in brown envelopes and being on TV as Mr Big Important Guy. He’s just willing to pull any lever he thinks might keep that stuff flowing indefinitely.

It’s crazy that it’s basically just a combination of the single worst most disastrous parts of every administration in history

Wow
