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.

Art Of The Dull

Jon Chait has a nice take on how the Democrats masterfully managed to exploit the subtle cracks in Mr. Masterful Negotiator.

I'm not sure we can overstate the potential damage Trump is doing that we can't even see right now.  He is an emotional toddler and a fundamentally stupid man in early/mid stages of cognitive decline. What we saw in that Oval Office meeting was the Live-TV version of what the Russians and Chinese and Saudis and many other countries have known all along.
