Bannon and the Trump WH are drinking their own Cool Aid. They just suffered a humiliating string of losses midterm elections, Epstein vote, MTG rebellion,dismissal of cases. Trump is weak and getting weaker. What are they getting emboldened about?

To ensure that the solution is not worse than the problem. May be increasing and rebalancing the size of the legislature is the answer. May be the compact that many states have signed where they allocate delegates to the winner of the national vote is the answer. We need expert discussion. ....End

In security and economic area. Their concern is real. The current electoral college gives all the executive power to seven to nine states.
The solution is not to rewrite the constitution, do away with the Senate, redraw states, etc. Solving this will require deeper dispassionate thinking. 2/x

Following Trump's threat to invade Denmark, break up NATO, and tariff wars, a European leader gave a speech a few months ago where he said we can't let world's security be determined by a few thousand people in a handful of US states. He was pleading for Europe to decouple from the US...1/x

As Pres. Obama has said many times, America is not perfect but it continues to strive to be better ( Trump years notwithstanding).

No I don't. All candidates in hindsight have some problems. Harris was no exception.
I just don't believe that her problems explain seven million fewer votes.
The Democratic voters had only one task before them: prevent Trump from returning. They bear primary responsibility for where we are.

Harris barely lost by 1% margin. Few thousand votes across seven states would have changed the outcome. Trying to derive some mega trend from such a result is silly. The biggest reason is that she got seven million fewer votes than Biden. No one has seriously explained why beyond their pet theories.

Murdered people on the high sea, tear gassed children, and otherwise acted criminally and awfully. For this, you will not only need an SOB president but also an SOB AG. Garland was completely unsuited to deliver justice. ...end

This is followed by members of his administration. Do unto these people what Trump did to law firms, universities, media conglomerates. If any company hires any one of them, bring full power of the federal government to pressure them. Criminally indict those who violated rights of the migrants, 2/x

While this is a good list, the most important task is to de-trumpify the American society. That means driving out of the public sphere those who enabled and sustained Trump's rise. Top of the list includes the Supreme Court, tech billionaires, and the Murdoch empire. 1/x

Z was one of the best movies I have seen. I was in college and didn't know much about Greek politics but I was captivated.
Who would have thought that the US, which was a beacon of freedom at that time would in 2025 be ruled by people who would act like those authoritarians in the movie

Democrats had one of the best nights in a long time. From NY to GA to CA, there wasn't a single bright spot for Republicans.
Yet, some people are so addicted to doom they almost get aroused by it. Worse, they are smug, self-righteous, and proud of such an attitude.

It was neither a peace deal nor epic. It was a ceasefire agreement that was no different than two other ceasefires that Biden negotiated. It was doomed to fail because neither Hamas nor Bibi, especially Bibi, is interested in keeping it.
This was as predictable as the sun rising in the east.

I first encountered Ferguson when Tina Brown brought him as a regular columnist at Newsweek. He was a wacko even then although he hid his lack of seriousness behind flowery British prose.
I had been a Newsweek subscriber for years but cancelled promptly.

The problem is these writers get paid a lot of money to write such drivel but face no consequences when they turn out to be wrong. It is as if they just want to write a bunch of stuff.
When this is over, the writer is not going to come back and admit he was wrong.

Except that Americans are too comfortable to worry about things like democracy and slide into authoritarianism. They are busy arguing about who the golden bachelor should pick, or the headliner at the Superbowl, or the cracker barrel logo.
