Dow is down 1,100+ points and Trump has thrown the COVID19 hot potato to Pence, so IMPOTUS can return to the banality of his existence, pimping reactionary cultural products. This time a dramatic reading of the Strzok/Page text messages. As if we didn’t have enough
Buttigieg has since deleted this tweet: Yes we can. Especially since we now need a Third Reconstruction. x Buttigieg said he's not looking forward to Bernie Sanders' “revolutionary politics of the 1960s,” but does that mean he opposes the 1969 start of the modern-day LGBTQ

Republicans up and down the ballot are already casting their Democratic rivals as socialist puppets who would remake the economy in Sanders’ collectivist vision. The play is straightforward: President Donald Trump has repelled college-educated suburban voters since he took office; Republicans want to win them
So much disinformation mischief this evening, some poked at by Trump himself if only to draw attention from his venal stupidity with his DNI choices / purges. x This is a really alienating thing for a Democratic candidate to tweet https://t.co/KDPv65Esgf— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) February 22,

Excellent article in The Atlantic on the current regime. Collars of color go to jail as “Americans aren't practicing democracy anymore” The underlying principle here, from Stone to Iran-Contra, is authoritarian but consistent: Members of the ruling clique are entitled to criticize law enforcement without sanction, and
Still early days, even as there will be a pie-fight at the debate tonight. Clarity will arrive on super-Tuesday. The real question will occur when we see whether there are limits to various facts such as who are the real ‘base’ for each primary candidate. One

This cannot be the government that America deserves in 2020, but there will be a repeat of 2016 if only because Trumpists lack the intelligence even if they had the GOP votes. #VoteBlueNoMatterWho x The question now largely seems to be, can we ever unpresident

It’s shark-jumping time in the White House. Remember that even the revenge-tour could be misdirection for other malign activity.
