If a vacuous reality show actor can be president, anything goes.
It's all sad.

"By weaponizing government to serve extreme wealth accumulation, the administration risks fraying the social contract itself. The logical consequence of such systemic enrichment is unrest, and if left unchecked, it may provoke revolutionary pressures."

I usually pretty much agree w/you, Duder.

I’m with the CDC. This is a huge deal. We’re losing the entire health early warning system.

There are so many infectious disease disasters that have been prevented due to early detection & intervention that no longer will be stopped.

Fascism sucks.

“Inserting a grand, false monument into that axis and space breaks that symbolism. It risks replacing subtlety with spectacle, solemnity with show. Instead of healing, it imposes.”

The conventions of political reporting today are not well equipped to handle this concerted use of pretexts for instrumental purposes and the bottomless bad faith they employ. Grasping the industrial-scale deception at the core of MAGA politics is essential. 6/

NYT piece calls these MAGA types "provocateurs." It describes "dueling versions of reality." Both are common MSM tropes.

But these are not provocateurs. They're propagandists. Only one side is employing deliberate deceptions on a vast scale for instrumental ends. 3/

Meiselas: Trump says he’s focusing right now on laying off the Democratic agencies and government employees, whatever that means. Again, completely pathetic behavior, and in normal times, this would be impeachable and/or 25th Amendment territory.
