Image the type of person Trump considers for a job in his maladministration, then imagine that type of person figuring out that as long as they are loyal to Trump, the can do absolutely anything they want, unconstrained by any laws, rules or societal norms.

This is exactly what you get.

I know this is an obvious and old point, but it still shocks me how quickly the culture of the GOP has come to defined by the absurd personality type of the "toad-licking, ass kissing alpha." Amazing that they've built an audience that finds such deportment appealing, rather than disqualifying.

SEATTLE ELECTIONS UPDATE: Progressive challenger Katie Wilson has pulled ahead of incumbent Bruce Harrell by just 91 votes, or 0.04%. About 6,400 ballots are left to be counted, which means the margin will likely remain very small, but Wilson has an edge. A machine recount is almost certain.

Speaking of Trump; The Lord hates adultery so much, that when David had an illegitimate child with Bathsheba, The Lord killed the child on the 7th day.
That would be in 2nd Samuel chapter 12. I bet Trump never read it, and if he did, he’d call it a Democrat hoax.

The civilizational system of control Trump, Musk, Thiel, and many of their ideological coattail-riders seek to establish is a form of neo-feudalism.

This is why the neo-Ancien Régime of Trump and the PayPal Mafia needs medieval solutions.

The Trump mafia regime is indistinguishable from the worst features of fascism. It’s devoid of any theme or principle except greed, revenge, corruption & White Christian racial domination.It revels in all forms of human wickedness, in its cruelty, aggression, disregard for decency & the rule of law.

The Rule of Law Is Dead in the US
The rule of law presupposes that there are rules that provide a consistent, repeatable, and knowable set of outcomes. That’s no longer the case.

Now that I live in the Netherlands, I occasionally come across these Stolpersteine ("stumbling block") memorials installed on sidewalks outside of the homes of people who were victims of the Holocaust.

Every time I see one, I think of what's happening back home.

"The issue of universal coverage is not a matter of economics. Little more than 1% of GDP assigned to health could cover all. It is a matter of soul.”

Uwe made 22 c-span appearances where he shit-talked politicians and schooled them on health policy, RIP Uwe 💖
