I haven’t read the article yet but I’ve heard it’s pretty good. The headline and lede, however, serve a separate purpose which is propaganda/ marketing, given paywalls.

One could say that, in a perverse way, Trump has done us a favor by systematically finding and misusing all of our government’s weaknesses. Is anyone keeping a list?

Much other reform as well. For starters: SCOTUS reform (staggered terms, see Brennan Center) and moving powers with the potential for corruption (like drawing district lines, and ethics oversight) to independent commissions.

I agree about offering grace to someone who is sincere. To me, it’s when actions match words. Words alone, nope.

Anyone can say “oops, my bad”. Can they face those harmed, hear and acknowledge the damage done, and take reparative action? Otherwise, they have not earned trust.

Not only too little too late, but it’s a bandaid over one of multiple gaping wounds. It does little but hide some of the gushing blood.

Farmers and business owners have to look ahead and plan or they will go under. This erratic, spur of the moment decision making means no one can make plans.

I’m sorry, I forgot the alt text for the last two pix.

Sometimes feel disloyal to my current project cuz while I’m knitting I catch myself daydreaming about how great a future project could be.
