Look, I believe in casts, but if a parent has strongly-held anti-cast beliefs, they should be allowed to let their kid’s broken arm grow back all floppy and fucked up, even to the point of lifelong, debilitating pain. And that’s not child abuse because a kid’s bones are their parents’ property

The social contract has been shattered. A new Constitution is required. The system had been broken long before Trump and desperately needed reform. Trump has presented us the opportunity to finally grasp that reform. Our ambition must be nothing less than a new Constitution.

The Democratic leaders in Congress have repeatedly shown that they have no interest in leading an effective opposition.

They have no appetite for the legislative trench warfare this moment requires. They don't even have the will to speak about it clearly. They just want to be left alone.
We have to get rid of Jeffries and Schumer. We have to. It’s unendurable that these men are the most prominent Democrats of the moment. They are two of the most broadly undistinguished men I could imagine in politics, zero fire, zero fight, zero zeal, machine politicians with sinecures.

Once again, it was supposed to end immediately in 2017, when he started monetizing the presidency at his hotel around the corner from the White House. Long before Jan 6 or anything else, people who swore oaths had jobs to do, & they failed. The constitutional order is completely inert at this point.
The Founders (rightly) thought financial corruption was so concerning they banned it in the Constitution three separate times: the two emoluments clauses, and the only named impeachable offense besides treason.

Starting in 2017, America decided it just kinda didn't matter anymore, whatcha gonna do.
UNREAL: Per NY Times amazing reporting today they found "Trump has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion. We know this number to be an underestimate because some of his profits remain hidden from public view." We live in a 3rd world sh*thole! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Again. The problem is the Republican voter. They might "be against what trump is doing to Greenland" but they will continue to vote Republican again anyway. They will not demand the Republican party disown any of his policies, or demand they even acknowledge fault. They are red team, no matter what

Folks, if every last news outlet pulled out all the stops like they did for Biden Old, Trump would be out in a week, tops.

We all know that the media has the power to swift boat anyone they want.

They are choosing not to do this to Trump *because they have been on his side the whole time*.
