I don't think Robert's own culpability for the destruction of U.S. democracy only about his parade of horrible decisions. I think it's also the fact that his Court simultaneously disregards prior case law *and* refuses to create clear precedents ....

So the USSR fell because of nationalist uprisings. If this is our future expect the collapse to come when the Ds (or their replacement party) take power and... I guess maybe Wyoming triggers a secession wave.

Musk wants to kill the F-35 now. but after the briefing he'll tell his dime-store brownshirts to "upgrade" its software with Grok instead.

Consider the possibility that military leadership *wants* to brief Musk. They've watched him break shit he doesn't understand for the last two months and they're terrified he's gonna destroy the U.S. military next.
[spoiler: he will regardless]

Everyone who capitulated to Trump before the last election made a basic calculation: Democrats won't do this stuff, Republicans well. But these f–ckers need to understand that they're building one of three possible futures:

Remember when the Bezos Post was nominally pro-democracy and tracked Trump's lies? Perhaps some other intrepid media outlet would keep a running list of every company, firm, and rich person who has paid protection money to Trump.

When real patriots retake the government, they're going to have to spend gobs of money ripping out every single government information technology system and replacing it with something secure.
Scrubbing all that data, if it's even possible, is going to…

The bright side of Trump getting pissed at a VOA reporter and deciding to guy it… the admin won’t be able to weaponize it for far-right propaganda.

Indeed, any post-NATO arrangement European defense arrangement (whether within NATO or outside of it) should not, and likely won't, be homologous with the membership of the EU or of NATO. It may have anchors that are, but if that's the case I'd expect an…

The primary challenges are coming. Some of them will succeed. It’s imperative that a) voters vet the challengers, lest we wind up losing seats because we nominate someone unelectable b) competent people run as challengers.

The best cases for the Democrats’ decision, AFAICT, are that shutdown would:
1) Provide a scapegoat for the economic damage Trump is doing.
2) Mean that no civil servants would be able to physically impede Musk? Or is there another way a shutdown helps…
