I have lost all patience with the apparently unshakeable conviction that striking a reasonable, moderate pose means assuming the sincerity of transparently pretextual horseshit. Donald Trump does not care about reducing crime in DC. He is testing and normalizing paramilitary deployments in cities.
Is that what he is doing? Fighting crime? Phew. I thought he was using federal power to assert power over the country’s capital

Newsom can't be President because he's an asshole with bad politics but he can absolutely goad the current President into doing dumb and loud shit and there is no greater need in the moment than a loathsome fuck to anger and annoy the other loathsome fuck
I regret to inform you that this shit has me libbing out. Sue me. (And yes; I know about Newsom!)

Also, this plot never fails to scare me. All of recorded human history - domesticated crops, cities, religion, etc. - happened during an anomalously stable period in our climate history. Our efforts have now pushed us out of that zone. Humans existed before then... but we were migratory.

This divided decision willfully ignores the Administration’s lawless attempt to destroy an agency created by Congress that has helped millions.
But the Administration cannot yet resume its illegal attempt to shut down the CFPB.
