What are you going on about? I'm not saying he should be banned from printing his ideas, I'm saying his characterizing continued Liberal rule as an unfortunate consequence of needing to stop Trump insanity is indicative that he's still his same neocon self and hasn't reflected on the relationship of his political work and the current climate.
It's ok to not pretend every op-ed is a fresh expression of ideas with no context stemming from their author's history or world view, and it's similarly ok not to treat all world views as just curious and value neutral opinions enriching a beautiful tapestry of ideas.
David Frum has been an instrumental and active shaper of the conservative-led degeneration of American values since the Bush administration. Trump is his limit, but everything in the whole rotten project before that was fine. No, we don't need to divorce the message from the messenger. The message itself is bad, but the messenger's role in the while situation deserves extra criticism.
More like there isn't an inflation surcharge, because that's not how inflation works. Inflation is just a bunch of sellers raising their prices in general, not a defined policy.
As a USian, I'd say we won. Donald Trump isn't even approved by a majority. His desires certainly don't equate to the United States in general.
Oh, it's David Frum yearning for a better time when the guy he worked for also disappeared prisoners without due process, but didn't do anything distressing like impede free trade.
And the important thing to remember about those "law enforcement" is they weren't new hires for Trump's gestapo, they were there the whole time and just waiting to go full fash. If and when this ends, they shouldn't be allowed to just say they were following orders and now they'll be good. They'll just be going dormant waiting for another opportunity, either from an explicit go ahead or a lack of oversight.
The whole war on terror reorganization should be undone. Protecting the US from dangerous terrorists was never the purpose of these new bureaus.
The ability of center-left politicians to find a way to not-understand political environments cannot be overstated.
“We were dead and buried in December. Now we are going to form a government,” David Lametti, a former Liberal Justice Minister, told CTV late on Monday. “We have turned this around thanks to Mark,” he said.

Yeah, Mark did it. For sure. Everyone saw a banker as the new leader and just went wild. No other changes can explain this reversal of fortunes.
Trump isn't the only one acting. And most of the foot soldiers were already on the job and just daydreaming about when they could really get tough. They need to be doxxed and recorded so they can be punished for their crimes one day. No "amnesty to let the nation heal" or "just doing their job". There needs to be consequences.
Don't leave when the cops say you can't record them anymore! Stand your ground at least and let one of your colleagues get a picture of police roughing up a reporter. If necessary, get arrested yourself. You took a job that has an inherent role in democracy and now is the time it's most important.
I appreciate that this "riots are part of their plan" post acknowledges that not rioting just means a bloodless coup. People keep putting this argument up like the optimal move is just continually not taking the bait under the assumption that some easy solution will eventually come to fruition, but it's just the frog arguing for boiling itself. They're not going to just have four years of people letting them do whatever they want and then run free and fair elections because we didn't take the bait.
There are multiple ways to balance a budget, but the conservatives only ever want to cut services, because that's the outcome preferred by the rich. And regardless, a minority government really shouldn't be trying to fundamentally reshape government structure. If you want to have that level of change, win an election.
And this after the most recent election saw the left take the largest share of the votes because the neoliberals' rule lead to gains by fascists. Elections be damned, failed governments be damned, just keep trying more neoliberalism.
I'm watching on Disney Plus and it's always a big of a shock coming back to mainstream TV advertising, but for Andor it feels like it's an unintended continuation of the whole message and blurring into reality. "The fascists are oppressing everything and don't care about the inherent value of people, now here's 10 full minutes of for-profit medicine ads."
Enjoy the bonus down vote for your asinine second edit proving you're not just a stickler-for-legalism reply-guy and entirely missed the point. Is this one of those examples of conservatives approaching the world differently because they just fundamentally don't understand the concept of empathy?
I'm talking about the actual people making the reports, not the political appointees. They should have never let things bumble on being uncertain about who ordered the presentation. The systems and bureaucracy of the government have just completely failed to maintain processes and standards.
What the fuck are people doing there? By what measure could Elon Musk's non-role at Doge have any relationship to our intel on Chinese weapons systems? And how could there ever be confusion as to who ordered a classified briefing? That's so far from how classification is supposed to work it doesn't make sense how it ever even got beyond a simple rejection.
Can't tell at night. Could be a short MS-13 member with a gun who's egging the house. Even if you see they're an 11 year old girl, she could also be a MS-13 super soldier.
Is this another Teen Vogue situation where a media project you wouldn't expect to have anything to do with political coverage or analysis suddenly comes through with reporting that puts the major media outlets and commentators to shame?
