It’s one thing to believe in the abstract that authoritarian, fascist, or personalist regimes displace expertise for loyalty, it’s entirely a different thing to watch it happen all over the place in your country.

Yeah, that’s just this administration. Same as with destroying a large part of the WH. He believes his authority is unlimited. Both the Supreme Court and Congress have encouraged that view.
Really wild to see Trump march toward war with Venezuela without even going through the motions of manufacturing consent … he’s just like going to do it.

Maduro isn’t a good guy. But while that point might be relevant to some possible debate about the coming invasion, we don’t need to humor anyone making that point here. It’s obviously clear Maduro being Maduro has nothing to do with any planned military action. 1/

I’m guessing 30-35% is a very meaningful line here. Because the people saying the like him now don’t mean it. They’re just to proud to say they were wrong.

If there aren’t legal consequences in the United States for what we’ve seen, our sovereignty is meaningless. And I don’t really care about it. Either we’re a nation of laws and accountability or I don’t care if we’re a country at all.

Yeah, the point of any of this is theoretically to inform. So why not take the basic steps to do that?
Decent answer, but this is why CNN needs experts on the law of the sea on, instead of the usual political commentators. They could easily explain why this violates maritime rules.

This is a great analogy, and really it applies to pretty much every area of policy.
Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

I suspect some portion of the 35% feel they have to say they like him still. Just committed to the bit.
it is entirely possible, and maybe even likely, given the trajectory, that trump is less popular than nixon at the end by this point next year, nixon was at 24/66 a few days before he resigned
New Gallup poll shows Trump's approval hit a new low for his second term:
-36% approve
-60% disapprove
His approval among Republicans went from 91% in January to 84% in November

Ordering no quarter, as Hegseth effectively did, isn't a newfangled modern war crime. It was understood as a crime as far back as the Revolutionary War. Washington threatened to do reprisals over it. The bad guy in 'The Patriot' is (very loosely) based off a British officer who was notorious for it.

Mass pardons are coming. There will be no accountability without treating those as null and void. And that means a future administration taking an official position that Trump is not the legitimate president right now because he is disqualified by the 14th Amendment. The two things are inextricable.

There’s 3 years to go, but I’m leaning towards thinking this thing won’t be finished. Or maybe even close.
If they ever get around to building this thing, it should be bulldozed on Day 1 of a new administration. No messing around, no hemming and hawing about procedure or costs. Order heavy equipment in and start knocking it down immediately, as surely as an overthrown tyrant's statues would be torn down.
Even the architect Trump hired to build his massive addition to the White House objects to the president's vision. The two have argued about the size of the 90,000-sq-foot project that would dwarf the mansion. @jonathanreports.bsky.social @ddiamond.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
