Which is also what keeps the @senategop.govpeeps.us and @houserepublicans.bsky.social in line. Especially when you add in the fact that the most rabid MAGAts are heavily armed.

I suspect that this obsession with building is in part Trump retreating to his safe space. He’s under attack from multiple fronts and playing Don the Builder, making decisions on granite, fonts, and gold-plated selfies, &c., lets him feel in control.

I’ve had doubts about the effectiveness of the US justice system, but, seeing what Trump’s unleashed, I am disheartened to learn how many people would happily commit crimes since they now think there are no consequences. And they’re the ones who scream the loudest about law & order.

The Iran War: Vietnam, but faster, more cynical, and much more stupid.

It’s also a dry run for when Trump dies and they have to roll out a deep fake AI avatar.

I’m waiting for the spin that it was better than Vietnam because it was over faster and fewer Americans were killed.

At least Trump lost faster that we did in Vietnam.

But for the victims, his collaborators and future aspiring dictators, the erasure of his legacy, the seizure of his ill-gotten gains, the punishment of those who conspired and profited with him must be clear, hard, and above all uncompromising.

Fortunately (from their POV) facts have little relevance when you’re playing judicial Calvinball.

But conservatives fell in line with Trumpism bc the Koch network was using him as a stalking horse to gain control & they were sick of being in the minority and were terrified of the demographic changes happening. They probably thought they could control it in the long term.

I suspect that they hope they don’t have to invoke it until Trump has finished his second year. That way Vance might be able to get nearly 10 years as POTUS to facilitate Thiel’s agenda.

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

I saw this in the faculty of my grad school. I called them 1st & 2nd order minds. 1s were deep experts in their field but broadly knowledgeable & saw cross domain connections. 2s were experts but saw other domains as subordinate to (or less important than) theirs & thus not worth their time.

He wants a war bc technically (according to the Constitution) treason can only be charged when we’re at war. That Congress won’t have declared it is irrelevant to T. He’ll get an opponent charged and then he’ll fall back on “so stop me.” Then it’s a race between the courts and the executioner.

The value of an incompetent cabinet is that they know they owe their jobs to him, and if he goes they are at risk. So I doubt they would willingly sign on to the 25th.

The office also needs to respect certain protocols. And this office purposefully violates those protocols every day to prove that it can do what it wants in every context. It is a corollary to its willful lawlessness and authoritarianism.
