Think about how Marjorie Taylor Greene was actually dumb enough to believe that the Epstein files mattered to Trump, and her disillusionment. There were people dumb enough to believe that the right-wing “free speech movement” was actually about free speech.
Bari Weiss going from purported brave defender of free speech and open debate to chief censor of reporting about a federal concentration camp is so grimly hilarious

Reporter: One woman said that she was brought to Mar-a-Lago by Jeffrey Epstein when she was 14, and Epstein kind of nudged Trump and said, 'this is a nice one, right?' If two grown men are staying there with a 14-year-old, what message can you take from that? That's a question for Trump to answer.

Of course mistakes were made. They always are. But if Trump could win running the most dogshit insane campaign in American history, color me skeptical that one PAC running ads about him that weren’t mean enough was what made voters forget January 6. To say it is to refute it!

New Zealand's libertarian/ populist/ right wing coalition Government is trying to follow Wesley Streeting's lead in banning puberty blockers.
This is what the New Zealand High Court has just decided (www.courtsofnz.govt.nz/assets/cases...).

![[17] There is also no evidence of a particular need to act urgently to prevent new prescriptions because of some immediate risk to physical health if young people commence treatment. [18] Puberty blockers are reversible. There is no evidence that they affect fertility. If they did, they would hardly be prescribed for children with precocious puberty and they have been prescribed for that purpose for decades. They may alleviate distress for a child who is simply not ready to cope with puberty either because they are too young or because their mental health is such that a delay is recommended. The only evidence-based impact on physical health is on bone density and that impact results from long term use. A period of months until the Judicial Review can be heard is not said to create any issues with bone density for a young person commencing treatment. [19] The evidence relating to mental health outcomes suggests negative outcomes from a ban are a far more immediate concern.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xurjtu2wa2akyi64gab34ahg/bafkreih3dcnwld4y5s4wqdtgps3fdhnnw2jcetmvkit4ictclmkfixiese@jpeg)

1- Cabinet wants war
2- T is indifferent but says OK as long as it doesn't kill my polls
3- cabinet too incompetent/lazy to sell it

there is not a single member of this administration who could even make a compelling case to the US house of representatives for regime change in VZ, let alone one who has colin powell’s credibility to spend at the UN
At least the Bush administration did a full-court press pr campaign to justify their illegal war.
