For thirty years I worked in the post-Soviet successor states in Central Asia and observed over and over again precisely the cycle that Bill Kristol describes. Corruption leads to authoritarianism, directly. The path is utterly predictable.

Who is the Stephen Miller look-a-like who hands trump the EO folders and tells him what he's signing?

Reasons trump has given for his tariffs:
- fentanyl
- immigration
- foreign subsidies
- currency exchange rates
- exports
- reshoring manufacturing
- Fed interest rate

First of all, tariffs don't work. Second, how could they work if his reason for them keeps changing?

There's a new dog treat commercial in the US and every time I see it I think of the normal men.

So, I didn't care that it took forever to build my follower count on that other platform because it was new and we were all building slowly.
But jumping in cold here is different now.
How do I build my account quickly?
