People, and especially politicians, make decisions based on incentives and disincentives. If you preemptively, unilaterally remove any costs or negative consequences for behavior you want to discourage, then you aren't discouraging that behavior anymore. You're encouraging it.

The Danish gov't doesn't want Congress voting on preventing Trump from going to war in Greenland unless the vote is overwhelmingly in favor. If not, it'll make him stronger, they think.
That's one theory. Another theory is that that's how he gets away with it.

In my family we used to say that the one silver lining of the MAGA movement is that all the crazies were going to out themselves, but at the time we were still assuming there was going to be someone to report them to.
My neighbor has a wheel cover on his jeep w/ a pic of him & Trump. When my husband asked him about it he said, " that's not trump. That's the messiah who's come to save us".
I shit you not. He really said that

The Republicans in Congress have known for a decade that Trump is utterly unfit for office and should be removed. But every new outrage, every chance they get to do the right thing, they dig in their heels deeper and stick their heads further into the sand.

Fun fact, originally the ship in _Star Trek_ was going to be propelled not by warp drive or dilithium or antimatter but by harvesting the static electricity generated by a crew of 400 people wearing head-to-toe velour uniforms scuffing their feet on the carpet.

Wow, this is a previously unheard-of degree of murder. Like, murder in the negative-second degree.

Considerable and troubling malice aside, if you're going to call yourself a journalist, you are in fact required, by the sacred tenets of your profession, never to say things you have no reason to believe are true.

Naming all Trump's enormities "distractions from Epstein" is a strategy. For a time, his attempts at concealment were the only thing he did that his base actually opposed him on.
His enemies are still trying to exploit that. Like the elected Dems and "affordability".
But times have changed.
