Guess who suggested that illegal orders should be ignored when Obama was president?

yes! this is really very good. we reinvented gender and women are peers and competitors now and it is good for the soul, as a competitor, to get rinsed from time to time
"the issue isn’t that we need more 'boy-friendly' reforms. It’s that boys are socialized to compete only with boys and to read girls’ success as illegitimate or emasculating. The result is dissonance, resentment, and disengagement for boys—and hostile climates for girls."

Exactly right.
Van Hollen: "It's either murder from the first strike if their whole theory is wrong, and I think the weight of the legal opinion is they've concocted this ridiculous legal theory. But even if you accept it, then it is a war crime. I do believe the secretary of defense should be held accountable"

Perfect natural experiment. If Biden and Congress had treated the Jan 6th insurrection like the treason it was and jailed the people behind it, Trump’s power would have shriveled on the vine.

the interesting thing is that Dems actually do have a track record of trying to correct for what they think the errors of the last admin were
so it’s very important that the next standard bearer believes that error was “not going hard enough on Trump” rather than “centrism was failed”

The thing is that Doing What Must Be Done is genuinely really hard and requires extraordinary political will! Biden tried to at least make a stab at it, but fell way short.
There's SO much inertia in favor of "ignore it and hope it goes away"
