It's difficult at times to hold both "this admin is doing lasting and serious damage to our institutions and the globe" and "this admin is full of the most bafflingly incompetent idiots you've ever seen who fall over themselves like a Vaudeville act constantly."

The duality of man is incredible.

“Just defer to the executive on the meaning of the law” means the executive is now also the judge.

This genuinely was the line you heard out of the Weird Twitter/Dimes Square Expanded Universe about Jan 6th. It was insane. Student debt was a 4-alarm fire but an armed attack on the Capitol was just a bunch of rednecks getting a little rowdy

I give shit to Jeffries (and Schumer) when they suck, so it’s also important to recognize when they’re doing it right.

This is doing it right. More of this, indeed. *Everyone* involved in the corruption of this administration MUST face consequences for their actions.

Greg Sargent @gregsargent.bsky.social · 6h

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

Thiessen having a good chuckle about his fired liberal colleagues - some of whom he worked with for 15 years - is a good reminder that token conservatives at mainstream news outlets are/were there to destroy them, not to contribute to them.

We really need to find some way as a society to punish reporters who find out stories about insanely heinous crimes of powerful people and deliberately sit on it until they can get a book published

Mind, it's Michael Wolff, so there's also a credibility thing, but I believe this shit is out there

One of the reasons to reject the obligatory demands for conservative affirmative action in liberal institutions is that the people who take advantage of it almost invariably function as a fifth column explicitly dedicated to destroying the institution from within.

One way of thinking about the Trump administration is that the worst people in American government are pushing out the best people in American government
www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

Their interview, described in a federal lawsuit filed last week by Mr. Driscoll and two other recently fired senior FBI officials, began with benign questions about the gravest threats to the nation and possible adjustments to the FBI's structure, but then took a swerve: Who had Mr. Driscoll voted for? When did he start supporting President Donald J. Trump? And had he voted for a Democrat in the past five elections? He declined to answer those three, noting to the 29-year-old attorney and former podcaster that the questions were inappropriate and potentially violative of the Hatch Act.

Mr. Ingrassia asked another question that would in the ensuing weeks take on greater significance: Did Mr. Driscoll think the FBI agents who had "stormed" Mar-a-Lago in August 2022 should be held accountable? Mr. Driscoll said no, since they had been executing legal search warrants.
