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.

"What If Obama Had...." Part The Millionith

Trump's recent embrace of Kim Jong Un is just...how is this happening? Trump took Kim's side over Joe Biden.  How is that not leading to howls from every alleged patriot in the Republican Party? I'm old enough to remember John McCain speaking up for Obama's citizenship and patriotism in 2008.  Romney was a bit softer in that support, but clearly some Republicans have decided that Romney and McCain's signature political faults were in not being racist and mendacious enough. Trump's victory* in 2016 taught them that the only way to win is be a gutter-dwelling trash monster. So they are content to sit back and let the final Foxification of their party take place. It is now completely fine to prefer the world's worst dictator over a former American Vice President.
