This is leadership by chaos, which always ends in disaster. This is not an administration that governs. It is a tedious daily television show with one hero who spends each day conjuring up an enemy and defeating him/her/them.

Is Trump in mental decline? He sounds far worse than Biden ever did. | Opinion
For those who spent weeks, months and even years howling about then-President Joe Biden's 'mental decline,' what say you about Trump's rambling?

The GOP COVID Committee report is wild. The virus is a Chinese bioweapon designed by Fauci ... and it was so mild that the US should have taken zero precautions ... and Democratic governors didn't take enough precautions ... and we should have let everyone get it.

The argument that actually punishing Le Pen and her cronies for their crimes will only make them stronger in the long run is a little hard to swallow when we have a prominent example of a right-wing authoritarian who was very much not punished for his crimes and is now wrecking everything in sight.

What was dumber: including a journalist on a signal chat about your bomb plans or then calling that journalist “bottom scum” while he still had the screenshots available to publish as your colleagues were already committing perjury

Any/every system. This explains the omnipresent sense of persecution and victimhood among privileged Americans both left and right.
It also explains why you assume you’re not a privileged American.

Privileged people generally experience the system as biased against and as singling them out for abuse, because they cannot imagine that’s just how the system treats people.
From what I understand from listening to @kenwhite.bsky.social Weinstein isn't getting any special treatment, and this is how it is for everyone at Rikers, but no, he thinks he's being picked on.
