Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Whoever claims that this Nazi salute was accidental is....mistaken.

His body language: Biting his lip. Slapping his chest. "I'm doing it! I know some of you hate it! But I love it. So there!"

Well-said and terrifying.
“Certain titans of Silicon Valley, Wall Street, and (God forgive us) the media have hustled off to Mar-a-Lago, a scene of such flagrant self-abnegation, ring-kissing, and genuflection that it would embarrass a medieval Pope,” David Remnick writes.
