The Supreme Court is a completely illegitimate institution. It is not bound by the constitution, our rights or the will of the people.
We should not treat it as a legitimate branch of government.

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

India/Pakistan reinforces why the most important qualities in a U.S. president are character and calm, reasoned leadership.
A president may face a crisis at any time.Given the U.S. position in the world, U.S. leadership is essential. The entire world is at greater risk because we elected a sociopath

I don't think it's fully appreciated just how much Trumpism is a celebration of ignorance. Trump not only never learns but proactively avoids it. It's a braindead movement from the top down.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

French Senator Claude Malhuret:
"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

the media has now more or less uniformly adopted the theory that the president is allowed to violate the law and constitution however much he wants to so long as he says he is going to do it in advance
