Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Extraordinary

I was reading this WaPo piece about the escalating Porter-Kelly scandal.  It isn't an op-ed piece, but it almost reads like one, because it simply catalogs two things: established facts about Trump's lies and the chaos of his White House, and the absolute flood of leaks that gush from this administration.

The amount of back-biting and CYA is actually impressive in its volume and consistency.

It's worth noting that the established reputation for dishonesty, the rank incompetence and the "every man and woman for themselves" ethos of the Trump Maladministration could actually make the ultimate collapse happen. 

Rats don't go down with a sinking ship if they can help it.
