Telling contradiction in Cheney's FT obituary. Otoh, he was instrumental in laying the foundations for Trump's assault on US institutions (see "unitary executive" etc.). Oto, he perfectly distills the liberal phantasy of the conservative "man of principle" who stood up to Trumpism. Good riddance!

All right everybody, time to read (or reread) The 18th Brumaire of Louis Napoleon. Ground rules: we are not reading for the history of 1848-1852 France, but we're also not looking for direct parallels to the contemporary US.

The opening paragraphs - it's like, I don't know, Shakespeare, or Beethoven. You know it's great. Everyone knows it's great. But then you encounter it directly, in its own context, and you can only say, man this is so great.

The only consistent thing they have done since getting in power is echo reactionary talking points. There is not one bad faith reactionary tirade they won't lap up and recite.
