I guess I am cynical but when a powerful politician abruptly resigns for an exciting private sector opportunity, I usually think the opportunity is “trying not to go to prison for what I did to that 14-year-old in a Motel 6.”

Kamala Harris in October: “[Trump] considers any American who doesn’t support him or bend to his will to be an enemy to our country, and further, he says that as commander-in-chief, he would use our military to go after them.”

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

I just rewatched the Ian McKellen retelling of Richard III, and it’s quite good. It’s also a bit scary heading into the unknown of our next administration. Machiavelli reigns supreme here, and even though it uses the iconography of Naziism, it’s about how norms get supplanted by conscienceless will

Definitely there is some projection here. What is projection? A defense mechanism that involves unconsciously attributing one's own thoughts, feelings, or behaviors onto another person or group. The lies cover up the projection.

Very saddened to hear about President Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis. Wishing him the best. As a prostate cancer survivor, I want to say: Begin PSA tests in your 40s, and continue well past your 70s. Too many conflicting guidelines out there, for a variety of reasons. It's just a blood test.

I wrote years ago that when Republican lawmakers sucked up to Trump, they told themselves if he ever got really bad, they’d stop him. I said at the time that they were fooling themselves. I was right, of course. Now they’re all in. They’re henchmen in the plot to destroy our democracy.
