I mean, why not just publicly subcontract our European foreign policy shop to the Kremlin -- for the sake of gov't efficiency and all that.
Why bother funding a potemkin U.S. policy on Europe when Russia is doing all the work already anyway?

Your scenario is unnervingly plausible ...
I feel like Swalwell and (sigh) Caruso have decent chances to break from the pack, and maybe even Steyer. Or ... not.
The others seems too meek, flawed or one-dimensional.
And all my past predictions came true (haha) so this is surely the right take ; )

Lord knows what difference it makes at the new terrible CBS news to praise journalistic pushback. And playing the Leavitt kabuki game is a questionable enterprise to begin with.
But hey - always praise journalists who push back at the slime machine.

Since he tends to take both sides of every issue, and bounces back and forth between the bomb thrower and so-called institutional GOP wings, we can't rule out that he threatened his own life.

But since the fragmentation of the old monoculture, (1) stuff isn’t communal, so (2) it also isn’t in communal response or reference to other communal things.
The societal meaning is absent (even if micro cultures do their standalone things).
