The complicated reality is there are 3 things happening simultaneously:
-Trump preternaturally understands the ebb and flow of the media and does perform for it
-His inner circle is in a mad dash to turn the US into a fascist ethnostate
-Like all authoritarian regimes, they're grossly incompetent

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

Dropped my truck off at the mechanic this afternoon (check engine light, still under warranty 🙌) and within 45 seconds of meeting him h told me he lived in BOTH of the trailer parks near my house and worked for our fire department. I have never trusted a mechanic more.

Bought whole milk instead of 2% at the store this evening and I have consumed at least a quart since we brought it home. I’m downright woke when it comes to lactose. No one is more tolerant than me.

Damn, using their cars as weapons? Any recent precedence on how we should react?
ICE is now ramming civilian cars through red lights in Minnesota. — they are tax payer agitators ‼️

The group with the greatest amount of power to stop all this are the capitalists and business freaks who will not tolerate market instability. Touching the untouchable Fed would be a hell of a table bump to an already precarious house of cards, imo.

DHS says REAL ID, which DHS certifies, is too unreliable to confirm U.S. citizenship
It's the punch line to a bad joke that started 20 years ago when Congress passed the REAL ID Act.

Very excited to see if NYC Mayorship continues to work like the One Ring and drive Mamdani insane, or if the curse finally breaks
Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

A formerly famous music star lives in my neighborhood, and he drives a cybertruck.
Several weeks ago my nextdoor neighbor’s 7 year old hit it with a chicken sandwich hurled from the backseat.

Saw two cybertrucks in the span of 30 seconds today. One had a trump bumper sticker, and the other made an illegal U turn in a crowed intersection. Checks out.
