Add it up: $12 million for a car race, $5.2 million for a cage fight, and more than $300 million for a ballroom he swore would cost the public nothing. Call it $317 million in vanity, financed by people who never got a vote on any of it.

At the risk of stating the obvious, there functionally are no laws that bind the president in a system where the they can get away with violating the law for months or years before a court gets around to saying “you can’t do that.”

Darline Graham: I tripped up on one question last night, regarding Taiwan. I don't speak politician. I was just honest. Of course, Taiwan is our friend. But I think people in South Carolina are more worried about boys in girls sports.

As a World Cup host, the U.S. shouldn't be flippantly barring officials from entering the country to do their jobs. It's terribly backward. It's also counterproductive. Global sports competitions should improve international exchange and relations, not the reverse.

honestly, plaintively begging people to think about power when they think about politics politics is not about being right, it's not about justice - that's what *our* politics is about, but politics as such is about who has power, and how much. if we don't have power, things we want will not happen
