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.

Shameless

 We had one of Trump's periodic tongue baths from the sycophants and opportunists who make up his Cabinet yesterday. I cannot, for the life of me, understand someone who would debase themselves like that for tangential access to power, but I guess that's why I'm not a Republican.

The self-destructiveness of Trump's policies are so driven by splenetic hatred of Democrats - take the killing of Revolution Wind just as it's being completed - that I guess these people are helpless before Cleek's Law, and they will therefore do anything to gain the ability to stick it to anyone to the left of Lisa Murkowski. They will swim through a river of shit to take away a poor kid's school lunch.

Trump looks terrible, and there is all sorts of speculation about his life expectancy. I just can't see people fawning over JD Vance like this, and if it comes to it, I hope I'm not wrong.
