Trump keeps stealing money from the government to bolster his political prospects. It should be seen as a crime spree not legitimate actions of an American government.

We’re living through a time when far too many men — including privileged young men at a frat house in an Ivy League university — feel impunity when it comes to attacking women. I don’t think it unrelated to the impunity felt by the man now occupying the highest office in the land.

Actually the biggest lesson from the Schmitt debacle is that Republicans have so internalized and learned to justify Trump’s corruption and disdain for ethics, they assume everyone is corrupt and stupid. They cannot imagine an honest public servant.

At a time when the most influential leaders of the U.S. need to stand up loudly and clearly for the rule of law, they are leading the charge in the opposite direction. But not Jack Smith. Kudos to him for continuing to be a much needed voice of clarity.

Genius or fool? Trump’s ‘qualities’ were never in doubt. Those republican lawmakers who hitched their wagon to him did so with the cynical recognition that he was a corrupt fool but an electoral asset. Meanwhile the ignorant masses of MAGA were convinced he was a genius. Reality beckons for both.

In competitive authoritarian regimes, the ruling party uses its control of the government to stack the deck against their opponents. We're not there (yet at least), but this is exactly the kind of thing you would see in such a regime.
