Again: the right mounted a huge, billionaire-funded conspiracy to take over US media, degrade US institutions, & erode US rule of law. It happened right out in the open, over decades, & the US media & political establishment not only ignored it but punished all attempts to discuss it.

The only thing standing between Trump and a fully authoritarian police state is the capability. He has the will, the intention, and the support of the other branches.

These two things cannot both be true: 1: throwing a sandwich at a federal officer is a violent assault worthy of prosecution. 2: raiding the Capitol grounds, assaulting police offices & vandalizing federal property in an effort to interfere with an election is a harmless protest worthy of pardons.

Whenever the Mets are playing well it makes me think of my dad and how much he enjoyed a winning Mets team. The first part of this season was great. Now I'm just glad he's not alive to see this shambolic mess.

Judge Katsas, useful idiot, this morning on left. AG Bondi this afternoon on right.

We turn next to the putative shutdown decision. The
plaintiffs point to no regulation, order, document, email, or
other statement, written or oral, purporting to shut down the
CFPB. Instead, they infer such an overarching decision from
various discrete “actions” taken by agency leadership to
downsize the Bureau, “including by issuing stop-work
instructions, cancelling contracts, declining and returning
funding, firing employees, and terminating the lease for its
headquarters.” J.A. 46–47. The district court found a “decision
to shut down the agency completely” and equated it to a
“wholesale cessation” of CFPB activities. NTEU, 774 F. Supp.
3d at 46.

Tweet from AG Pam Bondi in which she says "Another victory for President Trump! In a 2-1 ruling, the DC Circuit sided with my @TheJusticeDepartment attorneys in our effort to dismantle the CFPB and rein in crippling Obama-era regulations."

This is the problem with having national news covered primarily by people like Haberman and Anderson Cooper who 1.) live in bubbles of extreme privilege and 2.) are not really experts on anything other than the general vibe inside those bubbles.

American universities pretend to be centers of learning, wisdom and freedom, but the reality is that the University of Chicago has a $10.4 billion endowment today. In 2013, it had the highest-paid university president in America. He made $3.4 million a year. These are lucrative businesses first.
