Trump is not going to be able to establish a durable authoritarian regime in America. Not because it's not possible, or because of determined resistance having much of an affect, but because the GOP has deteriorated to the point where everyone is simply too stupid and too lazy to pull it off.

I think the early British Kitchen Nightmares is my favorite reality show. Had a more laid back sort of documentary style and some really funny moments.

I don’t think he knows what health insurance is, at all.
TRUMP: We’re going to give Americans the money to buy health insurance

Insurance companies?
TRUMP: Ahhh. Some may. I mean they’ll be negotiating prices

“Pompous, sub-literate lech” is the default for most very wealthy people in America, and anything else is the rare exception
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

For the past 50+ years, the play on the Right has been to insist that the Bible just happens to align with whatever the current ideological needs of American conservatism are.
it is absolutely true that "the gospel is political but not partisan" insofar as per se support for a given political party is not the content of the gospel
but if that becomes "one party supports pepper spraying the baby, so you can't talk about that or you're being partisan" we should all go home
