"Trump put himself on a heroic stage in an attempt to anchor to Lincoln's prestige. But Lincoln’s marble gaze looks past Trump with indifference. Trump sits beneath him looking small, unheroic, and very pathetic—Lincoln is great; Trump is calamitous." jennifermercieca.substack.com/p/ranking-th...
Ranking the Presidents
Trump wants us to think of him as the greatest president in American history. This is why that won't happen.

If the President can impose his own taxes and use the proceeds to spend on his own projects, all without Congress, we have a dictatorship not a constitutional republic.

The long running HOPE hacking conference just got banned from its current venue because someone told the university the conference had an “anti-police agenda.” Based it seems on a single pamphlet?

Mike Johnson claims the Epstein files can’t be released unredacted because they contain intelligence-agency material that falls under national security.

✅ Reality check: Jeffrey Epstein was a civilian, with no government contracts, nothing he did should ever be considered classified.

The House has spoken. Now the Senate has a choice: protect the powerful or protect the truth. Every delay smells like fear. Every excuse sounds like someone guarding a rot they hope stays buried. Release the Epstein files. All of them. No redactions. No favors.

The most well-documented illegal quid pro quo in the entire political career of Donald Trump is him covering up the brutal murder of a Washington Post journalist for Mohammed bin Salman and immediately sending the Trump Organization into Saudi Arabia to get deals with MBS worth hundreds of millions

The Epstein scandal is a symptom of a larger disease

The capture and corruption of American politics and institutions of power has created a criminal, abusive, and degenerate class of elites who believe they are untouchable and don’t care who they hurt

I'm old enough to remember when "armed agents of the federal government raiding churches on Christmas" was not, in fact, a cornerstone of the Republican Party's agenda.
"Agencies within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including ICE, ERO, and CBP intend to implement a comprehensive plan to target Spanish-speaking churches across the country during the upcoming holiday season between Thanksgiving, Nov. 27, and Christmas, Dec. 25."

You know, if the press refused to report him after this kind of thing, he would stop.

Some 19th century journalists did this to a threatening congressman. It worked.
"When an off-camera female reporter... began to ask if there was anything 'incriminating' in the Epstein emails, Trump pointed a finger in her face. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy,' he said menacingly."

Tell me again how it's women who are ruining the workplace?

i'd say it did. the public put a group of thieves, vandals and extremists in office last november and they promptly went about destroying everything that might work to limit their ability to loot, steal and inflicting pain on the people they hate
This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.
