JUST BECAUSE THE CLOWN CAR GOES VERY FAST DOES NOT MEAN IT ISN’T FULL OF CLOWNS
the speed at which these guys have broken everything has given a lot of folks who should know better the impression that they are an unstoppable force and the only option is to negotiate the terms of surrender
just because the clown car goes very fast does not mean it isn’t full of clowns

Whatever the immediate fallout of the scandal, what is going to stick around is the impression it gives, of hapless idiots doing ridiculous things. And I think that seriously reduces the appeal of capitulating to these jokers.

📌The biggest problem isn't that Pete Hegseth is an under-qualified moron who is texting our military secrets to our enemies like some 15-year-old, blackout drunk.
The problem is there is an entire anti-American, bought-off political empire on the Right that simply doesn't give a shit anymore ...

Not a single mention of the absolutely enormous rallies headlined by Sanders and AOC on the front pages of the NYT or WaPo. I will leave contrasting how they covered the "tea party" at this point in 2009 as an exercise to the reader

The uWu marketing advice the publishing industry (among many others) has soft-sold to us for years that transforming yourself into a brand isn't the dehumanizing commodification of personhood that it is, is one of the aspects of modern book culture I abhor the most. It doesn't matter that it's not

also a demonstration of how over-caution can easily become dangerous. sometimes the less risky move is the bold and aggressive one. milling around like a lost sheep when a knife-wielding maniac is charging at you is not averting risk
One thing you really see every day is the different risk appetites between MAGA-era Republicans and Democrats. Basically compulsive, reckless, dangerous constant risk-seeking, versus almost comical levels of risk-aversion.
