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

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.

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

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.
