Once again, a hugely consequential policy reversal that is attributal less to what is the right thing to do (and, at least, this one IS the right thing to do) than to what wounds his fragile ego. Stopped clocks, etc.

A grim preview of our own future. Given the speed with which MAGA has wrecked our country, and with at least 18 more months of their unfettered control, we might be even worse off.

MAGA's favorite dictator now leads the poorest country in the EU
There is no foreign leader that MAGA loves more than Hungary’s authoritarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who has turned his country into a testing ground for the far-right’s darkest impulses.�

Trump sued CBS for $20B for "election interference" over a tiny, routine editorial decision. Now Republicans are openly trying to VOID NYC's duly elected mayoral nominee (in their typically racist, on-brand way, no less). The hypocrisy is so loud it drowns out the democracy.

Is there a paying job like "entertainment linguist"? I'm watching a movie that is set in the 1980s that used the word "fuckton," but it didn't actually come into use until the early 2000s at the earliest. Little things like that take me out of the moment.

Occam's Razor suggests there's a more venal reason for Trump's sudden "epiphany" about the true Putin. Maybe Putin secretly put the kibosh on any lingering hopes for a Trump Tower Moscow? History also suggests Trump will switch course yet again, probably sooner rather than later.

So apparently Trump is bound and determined to accpet the Qatari 747 bribe as the new Air Force One because it's a lot "cooler" than the current 40-year-old planes... but at the expense of defensive capabilities, comms, etc. Are we supposed to feel bad if/when it gets shot down out of the sky?
