So you mean we should visualize President Vance nominating Justices Ho and Bove next summer, after Thomas and Alito retire before the midterms?
I think we need to start visualizing the Trump Presidency ending, and socialize it. For it is the right thing to do for the country and the American people.
At this point we have to assume that if the Epstein files are released they will
- end the Trump Presidency
- implicate many other prominent Republicans
- destroy the careers of AG Bondi and his other defenders
This is beginning to feel like the greatest scandal in American history.

We don't, there will be a new (and hopefully better) normal after this, that said, for the rest of our lives we'll have to be aware a non-trivial number of neighbors and fellows voted for actual fascism, and that's always going to be a bummer
How do we return to any semblance of normal after all this is said and done?

Few things:
1) Antonin Scalia was a great Supreme Court Justice and a genuinely kind and decent person.
2) The President's EO is consistent with Texas v. Johnson.
3) Texas v. Johnson was wrong and William Rehnquist was right.

Yesterday, Gv Pritzker called upon reporters to “tell it as it is”. Today, WaPo: “Nahh, we’ll just keep whitewashing coup-y shenanigans using neutral-looking language”
President Trump directed the National Guard to prepare for deeper involvement in any future civil unrest throughout the United States and called for the creation of a new military unit that is deputized to enforce federal laws, specifically in D.C.
Trump order calls for broader National Guard role in domestic unrest
President Donald Trump’s National Guard directive was issued as he touts his efforts to assert control over D.C. and muses about deploying troops to other major U.S. cities.

“When the moral stakes are made clear most soldiers are absolutely motivated in part by ideals — even in the heat of combat,” our columnist David Brooks writes.
Opinion | The Trump World Idea That’s Pushed Me Over the Edge
Trumpism can be seen as a giant attempt to amputate the highest aspirations of the human spirit and to reduce us to our most primitive, atavistic tendencies.
