Michael Steele? The genius behind kill boards and Operation Iron Triangle in 2006? The same Michael Steele who suddenly got sent to First Army to finish out his career and never advanced beyond COL after that trip to Iraq?

So you remember this corny Black Hawk Down scene that showed the cultural divide between Delta and the Ranger Regiment guys? The captain in this scene is Michael Steele, he's a real guy. He later became commander of the 3rd brigade of the 101st Airbone. The unit Hegseth was attached to in Iraq.

eh like I always say, this implies pete has been able to singlehandedly change most of DoD over to MAGA diehards with a couple speeches, dort's poasts, and turning stu loose to aimlessly wander the halls of the Pentagon in between psychotic breaks, and I just don't think that's true

anyway yes there's work to be done, but it's on the level of "robust Congressional oversight and immediately asserting a democratic admin civilian control to scare the hoes," not "we have to denazify the entire DoD over the course of a decade"

The other day, Talarico leaned hard into the case for immigration as a positive good for our country in a way you rarely hear from Dems. He has a real theory of the case: Trump's cruelty and barbarism have opened space for new moral arguments, a new consensus. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2160...

It's a fascinating mistake bc it is rooted in the 100% GOP confidence that there was a coordinated legal attack on Trump from Biden/Garland etc. It follows that Smith must have been colluding with Willis to help her out. The idea that he has integrity and wouldn't do that is off the board.

I also think about Elon saying Biden's DOJ wouldn't prosecute Sam Bankman-Fried because he was a Dem donor... followed by Biden's DOJ nailing SBF, who now posts about how awesome Trump is so he can get a pardon.

I think some smart people are being unnecessarily doomerish about this. Some things are worth doing even if you don't have the votes locked in beforehand. And who knows what the mood of the GOP Senate caucus looks like in January.

Eric Schmitt's basketball fuckup yesterday is getting all the attention but I think it's really, really important to understand it in the context of the strategy and goals of the hearing as a whole, which was as clear an example as I can find of why the GOP is an existential threat to the Republic.

Fun fact in TX Sen: a few years ago TX abolished straight-ticket voting. Rs wanted that, Dems and esp. minorities used it more. But now it hurts Paxton. There's no simply marking the "Republican" box, you have to mark his name in that race. Not great if you're on the losing end of ticket splitters.

The thing about the florid apocalypticism you sometimes encounter on this site is that a lot of people are less horrified by literal civilizational collapse than by the notion that our descendents are just going to keep muddling through and in less than a century nobody will remember us.

I think about this interview with the distinguished philosopher Conan O'Brien a lot. I actually think this is a healthy way to live your life! www.nytimes.com/2019/01/14/a...
Is this how you want to go out, with a show that gets smaller and smaller until it’s gone?

Maybe that’s O.K. I think you have more of a problem with that than I do. [Laughs.] At this point in my career, I could go out with a grand, 21-gun salute, and climb into a rocket and the entire Supreme Court walks out and they jointly press a button, I’m shot up into the air and there’s an explosion and it’s orange and it spells, “Good night and God love.” In this culture? Two years later, it’s going to be, who’s Conan? This is going to sound grim, but eventually, all our graves go unattended.

You’re right, that does sound grim.

Sorry. Calvin Coolidge was a pretty popular president. I’ve been to his grave in Vermont. It has the presidential seal on it. Nobody was there. And by the way, I’m the only late-night host that has been to Calvin Coolidge’s grave. I think that’s what separates me from the other hosts.

I had a great conversation with Albert Brooks once. When I met him for the first time, I was kind of stammering. I said, you make movies, they live on forever. I just do these late-night shows, they get lost, they’re never seen again and who cares? And he looked at me and he said, [Albert Brooks voice] “What are you talking about? None of it matters.” None of it matters? “No, that’s the secret. In 1940, people said Clark Gable is the face of the 20th Century. Who [expletive] thinks about Clark Gable? It doesn’t matter. You’ll be forgotten. I’ll be forgotten. We’ll all be forgotten.” It’s so funny because you’d think that would depress me. I was walking on air after that.

And I say I posit this as a trans man because I lived 44 years as a woman and have been in the room when no one intervened and have been the one to intervene as a woman and now have been the one to intervene as someone who looks like a middle aged heavily tattooed white dude with farm muscle.

We simply cannot restore our democracy as long as the implicit deal is that the left wing of our coalition will sabotage any candidate who doesn’t 100% let them drive (and let’s be real clear, that’s what Biden Old and Genocide Joe actually were both about)

“Why are you so invested in defending Biden when that’s the past” well because if there are no consequences for smearing the most progressive President in history and he’s allowed to go down in history as “genocide Joe” based on no evidence, they’ll do worse to the next person
