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.

Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Look, Trump's a combination of stupid, incurious, incompetent and uninformed.  So are many of the people around him. 

But they have so backed themselves into a corner over this Wall bullshit, that I suppose the only way around it is to declare a national emergency, lose in the courts and then run against the courts in 2020.

It's all deeply stupid, and Trump could've had wall money a year ago if he wasn't a impulsive racist pig surrounded by calculating racist pigs. 

There has to be a way out of this, and it won't be because Mitch McConnell cares about the will of the American people.
