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.

Trump 2024

 Paul Campos makes some nice points about Trump's signature hold on the GOP and how it's impossible to discern if he is the symptom or the disease. It is becoming clearer - and will become even more clear - that January 6th was planned from the White House and the Willard Hotel.

Watch as Republicans justify this. They will. We know they will. And they will know they have the absolute support of 40% of Americans no matter what. All they will need is the right 7% of Americans to fall for some absolute bullshit false equivalencies and smears to potentially win in '24.

I am not one of the "Do Something" caucus caterwauling online about the lack of indictments for Trump and his crew. I'm fine with them taking their time. But they should be working on a timeline that indicts Trump in December of 2022, so that he runs for the presidency under that cloud.
