TRUMP: Suspending who?

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

Back in December I made a checklist of Project 2025 objectives, and basically all of them are checked by now. I thought even then it's not worth trying to convince people that are delusional; just strategize to defeat them at the polls. But if anyone wants to feel vindicated, to each their own.

Influence.

It's about the only lever of influence Congressional Democrats have over anything happening by the administration & Congressional GOP. It remains to be seen what if anything comes of it.

Good point here by Michael Wolff that the Dems lost an easy win because they didn't think to condition the gov't shut down on releasing the Epstein Files. It's the one thing we know that Trump is weak on, and they should keep hammering it. The script writes itself. "It's the Epstein Files, stupid."

I just saw the first "Trump 2028" signs out in people's front yards today. Fuck's sake.

Fantastic, our president literally put 14-88 into his speech to our military today: "You know, we had 11,488 murders by [foreigners that Biden let in]". (Source in link.) I mean, his campaign number from 2015 to 2024 was 88022, "Heil Hitler, Victory", so it's nothing new. It's just sad as sad gets.

[...] down a level to shared fundamentals, which in this case I think is the deep frustration and spiritual crisis among young men in the country (predominantly white, but not only white) to which Kirk was addressing in a meaningful way. The tack to take here is that Kirk isn't really addressing it.

I can agree with Klein's point that public intellectual != journalist, and a public intellectual should be oriented towards social impact. But on this issue I'm still generally w/Coates. Watering down what Kirk stood for isn't constructive in this case. I think it's better to rhetorically drop [...]

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

RIP John Searle. When I was a philosophy student, I thought it was important to pick 1 problem to focus on & I picked intentionality. Searle was probably the leading figure; he wrote the classic book on it; & a lot of my MO was refuting him, but I also learned a lot from him. He made people think.
