One thing that has sort of surprised me is that it does really seem like the desire to be ruled by a powerful fascist daddy is stronger in the median elite journalist than in the median voter.
Among our biggest mistakes was trusting millionaires to protect us from billionaires.

In my furious revulsion at what Trump said about Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, I missed that it was Michele who took the flattering cover photo of Trump for his book, The Art of the Deal. Impossibly, this makes his reaction even worse.

This is the coup.
If the Speaker of the House can’t stand up for a tragically murdered Rob Reiner, what hope is there for any of us who disagree with the President?

SORKIN: I'm going to ask you a question you won't love. Can you speak to the president's disparaging comments about Rob Reiner?
JOHNSON: Our prayers are with the Reiner family
S: What about the president's comments?
J: That's not the way I would have done it. I don't know what else I can say

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

They’re clearly plugging this dude into an IV regularly and, if this were Biden, there would be demands for weekly hour long press conferences from his doctors on his health. But that’s not how authoritarianism works so stop asking questions already.

This honestly puts Kash's FBI in a hilarious position, especially if the J6 pardon extends to Cole. One of the funniest own goals ever, with Kash on TV last night claiming Biden's DOJ deliberately didn't find this guy. Will they prosecute him only to be pardoned bc he confessed his love for Trump?
