my takeaway from this feature is that in a functioning political system there would be televised congressional hearings over the fact that one of the most influential people in the white house is a total maniac www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
Curtis Yarvin’s Plot Against America
The reactionary blogger’s call for a monarch to rule the country once seemed like a joke. Now the right is ready to bend the knee.

The current President is taking bribes from anyone who’ll offer them but I’m so glad Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper are not letting that distract them from the fact that the former President who just got diagnosed with cancer is also old.

While Gavin Newsom, governor of a state Trump lost by 20 points, is throwing marginalized communities under the bus to pander for an ill-fated presidential bid, Andy Beshear, governor of a state Trump won by 30 points, is going out of his way to defend marginalized communities as a moral imperative.

Within a short period of time we have gotten to a political system where SCOTUS has given the President broad immunity, and Congress says clearly impeachable offenses are "not my lane."

AOC: This administration — and Noem — spits on the American flag every time they engage in that nonsense. So I don’t want to hear anything about “America First.” These people, and this administration, are putting America last by acting like their allegiance is to a man instead of the Constitution.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented.
His argument fails even on its own terms.
