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.

Nothing Matters

 Donald Trump publicly calls on Putin to dig up smears on Biden.

Ginni Thomas was an active member of the coup attempt.

The Trump White House did a Nixon.

And that's in the last 4-5 days.

Will any of it matter in elections? Presumably, hopefully, at some point there will be actual prosecutions of central players, not just Q-Shaman lunatics. 

Or just as likely we continue to see the sort of elite impunity that creates a separate standard for those who are powerful, like Mick Mulvaney.
