Yeah, but you have to supply your own underage girls if you want prominent politicians and wealthy real estate moguls to visit.

SEN. QUISLING (D-XX): Ultimately, there was no way we could win, so we voted to minimize the harm to the American people.
REPORTER: But why couldn't the Democrats win?
QUISLING: Because sooner or later the eight of us would come along & vote in favor of abject surrender. You just can't fight that.

"Edgy" humor is the strongest of all possible 'tells'. The things that you joke about doing are the things you'd like to do if you thought you could get away with it.
Our job is to make sure they know they're not going to get away with it.

Federal judge enjoins the administration from acting like a pack of utter assholes. Further cases expected to follow, because they just can't seem to help themselves.

Unless you value efficiently giving people who might or might not have done something wrong an absolutely nightmarish experience. The sadistic impulses of everyone who gets aroused by the idea of (allegedly) Bad People being punished are certainly getting top value for money.

The startling thing is how blatant it is. Historically, the taboo wasn't against corruption but VISIBLE corruption (helped by the "if we do it, it isn't corrupt" mindset). Politicians at least had to PRETEND not to be on the take.
Donald doesn't care how things look & now neither do his allies.

If it's true that they're throwing dead bodies from planes into the ocean, then we're only a step away from them throwing live ones, like the death flights of the Argentine "dirty war" of the late '70s/early '80s.
Given the gratuitous sadism already on display, don't think it couldn't happen.

"Is the new left running out of steam? Why failure to pick up voters in final 0.2% of races spells trouble for the Democrats, and means that a shift to the right is now the party's only sensible option."

She has a point. You can get elected whatever age you are. Look at our president -- I've been reading his tweets, and I think he must be about twelve.

Do you think "Vote for the candidate I want, or I'll punish you" might perhaps constitute just the tiniest abuse of presidential power? Like maybe even -- in a better world -- an impeachable offense?
