people are attributing various Machiavellian Motives but for my money “he is a stupid old fuck without impulse control who believes, more or less correctly, that there is no meaningful constraint on his behavior”

The fact they’re writing letters saying “yes we should have bombed them but we should have been given the chance to vote yes on the bombing!” Makes me think they’re incapable of feeling embarrassment

This insane asshole has been doing nothing but crimes since the day he took office, you're the only branch of government with the power to remove him and you're not even going to try because it might not work? Why are you even there? To feel important and do insider trading?

So what’s my point?

It's this: People who follow recipes make the dish.

But what of those who refuse to know knowable things? What of neutrality aficionados "just asking" questions answered long ago?

They're worse in a way. They want the dish made for them. www.the-reframe.com/they-know-ex...
