And in another way, a very, very old one.
Blaming the selloff on “globalist companies” is a new one. 🇺🇸
DOOCY: Why do you think the markets are so spooked? Do you think they don't like the tariffs?

TRUMP: Well a lot of them are globalist countries and companies that won't be doing as well because we're taken back things that have been taken from us many years ago

Attributed to Napoleon, who ended democracy in French, this quote was also used by Anders Breivik, the far-right anti-immigrant terrorist who murdered 77 people

Amazingly absent from @wsj.com front page, which instead highlights groundbreaking reporting like “Lovesick Brazilians Turn to Sorcerers and Chicken Feet to Fix Relationships”. Do better. You rag.

I think it's both depressing and telling how many Americans (including many members of the elite media) view "masculinity" basically in terms of being an abuser and are excited and thrilled to sign up themselves and others for more abuse.
Repeating myself, but the idea of Trump & Musk as "masculine" remains bizarre. They're just the toxic and immature parts with none of the traditional "masculine" virtues. They're whiny, entitled, unreliable, dishonest, self-absorbed, never take responsibility, never put duty over self-interest, etc.
I mean, Jesus Christ, can you people even *hear* yourself?

I'm about to die of secondhand embarrassment just reading this crap.

Just to say the quiet part out loud, the point of having unelected judges in a democracy is so that *whether* acts of state are “legitimate” can be decided by someone other than the people who are undertaking them.

Vermeule knows this, of course. So does Vance.

Don't forget what happened with the travel ban during the first Trump administration:

Version 1: Clumsy, overbroad, and poorly implemented; blocked by courts; withdrawn.

Version 2: Slightly less clumsy; slightly less overbroad; poorly implemented; blocked by courts; expired.

Version 3: Upheld.
🚨 BREAKING: OMB has just issued a memo *rescinding* the previous memo freezing all federal financial assistance programs.
