Then wtf was all this mayhem intended to do? Let more clandestine operatives slip under the wire? Further humiliate an impotent potentate? Maybe the Ellisons will fund a new Golden Globes category: “Most violent man made international disaster”. Melania could present if anyone understood her.

Let's look at it another way: If more Americans had been willing to park their parochial concerns about whether their president and his monied friends had raped young girls, he would not have had to crash the economy and contemplate a land war in Asia. We as a nation need to be more broadminded.

"Just like the killing of Renée Good, Saturday morning’s shooting once again raises the question of why it is so damned difficult to hold federal officers—and the federal government itself—accountable if and when they violate our rights." Me on the federal accountability gap—and how to close it:

1. I think @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social is right. In a piece for Arc Digital, the University of Illinois political scientist wrote that Wall Street is now learning the hard way what happens when you insist on looking Trump thru the lens of “misplaced faith.” www.arcdigital.media/p/tariffs-ex...

Tariffs Expose Wall Street's Misplaced Faith in Trump

Bankers and business leaders imagine a more reliable, less protectionist version of the president than the one that actually exists. Now they're finding out the hard way.
