dude, you got yourself kicked out of two boarding schools, your Harvard application is rumored to have consisted of two words - "Harvard" and "Kennedy" -, your peers there say you were a dealer in college, your roommate reportedly wrote your senior thesis for you, and you failed the NY bar twice

New in PN: Living in the long, stupid shadow of the Big Lie "Elections where Trump — or any other Republican — wins are fine, but elections where Republicans lose are corrupt. The only solution, of course, is to let the DOJ intervene both before and after any elections that Trump has fixated on."

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

Yeah, what the well-heeled pundits are missing — which is wild, because it's been a decade! — is that the kitschiness is the point. Fascists LOVE kitsch. I wrote about this in 2019. Bad, corny taste is how they reassure themselves they are the herrenvolk. www.salon.com/2019/12/25/h...

I have zero sympathy for anyone involved in this grotesque farce. When you travel all the way to DC to go to the home of the most infamous fascist in US history and get ushered into his office alongside a videographer and photographer, you know *exactly* what vile game you're playing. Disgraceful.

I’m seeing people reacting by pointing out that he’s obviously wrong. I appreciate that, but it’s also a pointless exercise. The problem isn’t that he’s wrong. The problem is that this is normal in American politics — and it’s been normal for a while.

Gratified to see widely respected journalist Margaret Sullivan endorse my view that major media must depict Trump’s abuse of power as a “five-alarm fire” – because it is.
