Ah, this is obviously perfectly consistent with Trump's profound intellectual curiosity and deep understanding of military history. Can't think of any other reason.

We can’t abandon the rule of law because cultists don’t like it applied to people they like,
I really don't think it's necessary to frame this the way you might frame a story about some dictator locking up his opponent on bogus charges. Trump is on tape bragging about his crimes, guys.

I hope partisan polarization doesn't result in a lot of people on the East Coast getting sick in unhealthy air. But I fear the worst – especially for kids of parents who've been disinformed into believing masks don't work & are a tribal signal instead of a protection like goggles, helmets, & gloves.
Kinda shocked that nobody out on the streets in NYC seems to be wearing a mask despite air quality that smells like pure death.
Do people just hate masking so much that they won't do it under any circumstances now? In San Francisco we've been masking for years in smoky air.

Michael Tomasky gets it right: "These justices & their supporters believe they are on a mission to rescue America from people like us. There is so much more to do, & the clock is ticking. So the lies are justified." https://newrepublic.com/article/173228/supreme-court-corrupt-its-conservative
The Supreme Court Is Corrupt Because
It’s Conservative
It isn’t a coincidence. The court is corrupt, both judicially and ethically, because of the extreme ideology six of its justices serve.

In 2023, conservative activists have advanced the theory that "woke" corporations are pushing a radical, pro-LGBTQ agenda.
But a Popular Information investigation reveals 25 rainbow flag-waiving corporations have donated $13.5 million to anti-gay politicians since January 2022.

Twitter numbers (59pc decline in y-o-y advertising) is instructive in a couple of ways. First - you can destroy a business by thinking your own dumb narrow worldview has any market value at all. Second - extreme right wing ideology (+ spam) remains narrow and unpalatable (at least to advertisers)
