"Incompetent Cabinet" is a good catchphrase - the words fit together well and tell an accurate (as much as two works can) story of what's wrong with Trump's administration.

Both in the schoolyard and in the halls of power a common bullying technique is abusing someone and then using the reaction to the bullying - especially if it's somehow imperfect - as retroactive justification for the abuse
So President Biden has pardoned his son Hunter - and given Trump a precedent that certainly won't be abused.

Trump ate shit on one of the very first things he tried (the Gaetz nomination) before he even took office again
he will do enormous damage but he is not invincible and the more friction we can put in his way the less he will do
it is what it is now, fighting back is the only viable option

Yeah. I am very much on the verge of just blocking people who say "meh, the rule of law no longer matters" or "they're just going to do what they want" etc.
They can try, but accepting it as given, means giving up.
Stop trying to make everyone give up fighting for basic rights.

I am trying to be patient because I 100% get that people are terrified but I am really struggling with all this knee-jerk public defeatism from other liberals and leftists right now

Once again tapping the "Donald Trump is senile and easily manipulated by whoever is in the room with him and this sufficiently explains everything his administration does" sign
33-year-old former far-right cable anchor Natalie Harp may be the most important person in America that you’ve never heard of. She controls all the online information flow to… Donald Trump. Literally.

A funny way for this to play out would be for Trump to actually improve health outcomes and life expectancy by accident, and despite all the RFK Jr shit, just by taxing so much alcohol at high levels via tariffs
This will mean higher gas prices, higher alcohol prices, higher food prices, higher building prices, higher car prices, higher pharmaceutical prices, etc. Trump is about to teach Americans who *actually* pays for tariffs (the consumers do).
