Surely at some point someone will point out that like half the people in the White House appear to be on end-of-Scarface quantities of cocaine. We can’t just keep acting like Hegseth and Noem and Kash Patel are sober, this is absurd.

I met Peter Thiel once, and let me tell you. I have never been more shook by an encounter with another "human being". Absolutely soulless. Nothing behind the eyes.
