Political scientist in an EH/IR department. Cat lady. Does parlor tricks in #rstats. Both over-caffeinated and under-caffeinated. Speaks terrible Swedish.

If Sullivan goes, every billionaire with a bruised ego gets a legal kill switch for journalism. Hope you like your news pre-approved by the people it’s supposed to hold accountable.

The only group for whom this is sustainable is the news media establishment who can’t see an emperor BF-naked in front of them.

Bears repeating that this isn’t sustainable. Not for the Canadian/Mexican publics infused with anti-American sentiment or the MAGA faithful who will want Dear Leader to put up or shut up with his signature policy and the manna it rains down from heaven. This equilibrium has a short shelf life.

Caveats being:

1) we know in the IR literature that leaders horny for a deal are likely prone to take bad deals. That could be a problem for the U.S. for something important.

2) who’s to say target publics in places like Mexico don’t punish their leaders for the optics as this repeats.
