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.

Unpardonable

 Michael Flynn has received a pardon from Trump for his first round of crimes. Now he seems to be actively committing sedition. Now, sedition has a troubled history being used against people who merely dissented from government policy (see Debs, Eugene), but this is pretty clearly beyond criticizing the incoming Biden Administration on political grounds. Flynn is calling for the violent overthrow of our constitutional system of government.

On the other hand, Neera Tanden was mean on Twitter so...basically the same.
