Could be president again in 203 days. Now covered by a broad grant of immunity from criminal prosecution. What will he do this time?

“He’s just stayed too long in the job,” David Remnick muses between bites of Waverly Inn frittata, “and there’s a whole civilization at stake.” Anna Wintour nods thoughtfully without looking away from the fireplace. “It’s about to rain,” she says.

It's only bribery if you do it in front of a notary, shake hands with the special bribery handshake, and recite the words "this bribe of current market value $5000 or more is for a corrupt action you otherwise would not perform" and the official responds "thank you for your bribe for my corrupt act"

Some reduce the 2024 campaign to a contest between two old men, but it's a choice of two slates of federal appointees who'll impact your life in a million ways. Biden has staffed executive agencies with excellent choices who are doing good work. Trump will empower an army of Stephen Millers.

Under current law, you really couldn’t do much better than Biden’s FTC and NRLB. New Deal shit.

A long time ago I wrote a thing about how the speech that absolutely destroyed Charles Lindbergh, who up to that time was treated as a demigod, would scarcely register now. You read 10 worse and more vituperative expressions of the same ideas every day now. thebaffler.com/latest/back-...

conservatives today have more in common with the isolationists who wanted to leave europe to hitler than with the interventionists who wanted to stop him

Back When American Fascism Was Bad | Ed Burmilathebaffler.com The full-fledged fascism of Charles Lindbergh sounds almost polite in comparison to the alt-right scum of today.

People will point to something and say “see voting doesn’t do anything” and it’s literally just the consequences of Republicans winning elections

He's doing it almost daily so it's easy to get inured, but (taps sign) dehumanization is a classic hallmark of pre-genocidal rhetoric. Every alarm bell should go off every time Trump or anyone else says this.

Ben Shapiro, being carried away by a hawk: Okay so first of all, this isn't the format we agreed to, so this is you admitting you have no argument. (Voice becoming fainter as they ascend higher into the sky) And for you to continue with this as though you haven't already lost the debate is

And if he’d been talking about political violence leading to genuine massacres, no friend or foe of the man would feel the need to reassess him.

Correction: Trump was talking about the auto industry when he made his remarks about a "bloodbath" if he loses www.politico.com/news/2024/03... www.nytimes.com/2024/03/16/u...

What would you say if you saw it in another country?

In an interview on Fox just now, Trump doubled down on saying immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of the country. The interviewer asked why he used language like that and “vermin,” which echoes Hitler’s and Mussolini’s, and he replied, “Because our country is being poisoned.”

New from me: Enid, Oklahoma elected a white nationalist to its City Council, igniting a fight for the soul of the city, one that united a coalition of its most progressive residents and divided its most conservative. Now voters have to decide: Will he stay? www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I work in one of these Midwestern history departments, which used to train _hundreds of high school history teachers every year_ and this year will graduate barely a dozen, in large part because we now have 1/2 the faculty we did 20 years ago and only one person specializing in history education.

The depth of this problem is extraordinary. foreignpolicy.com/2024/03/10/t...

Signs you might be a far right authoritarian party (#2549):

This from March 2016 is so striking in light of Jan 6 and the recent violence against judges and threats against anti-Trump Republicans. Trump has always told us exactly who he is. The lesson should be that if elected again he'll do exactly what he is threatening to do. nytimes.com/2016/03/20/o...

If a president faces impeachment because family got foreign money before he was president, what about a sitting president getting it directly?
