Not the first article in this vein, but it needs to be said a lot right now.

It usually takes eating an infected animal. They might have shared roadkill, but I don't think that Howard Lutnick ate part of RFK Jr.

It doesn't matter if it's pandering or they know it's a lie if they then turn the lie into policy. The rest of us take the risk of death from it just the same

Stockholm syndrome?

You can definitely run the machine out of the paper and ink it uses. May take postal workers a bit to refill it, especially when there is a big line of people clamoring for the the prettier pre-printed stamps.

I'm aware of the LSD and Ketamine, weed wouldn't surprise me too.

Security clearances are nominally the domain of the FBI, rather than the CIA. They tend to see themselves as a right-wing organization though.

The problem is that informed opinion thinks that Trump has something around a 50% chance of winning there. That's a kind of risk that regular people can't put serious money into.

It's a problem the whole news industry has. Craigslist took all the classified ads. Facebook took almost all the business ads. So what's left is subscriptions — and if you don't charge, the paper goes bust.

Something like 80% of local newspapers in the US have gone under already.

That's why I posted a gift link, so most people won't hit the paywall. The big exceptions:

Or...they're explicitly looking for one's who want to punch down by race so that they can rally supporters for a violent revolution followed by permanent fascist rule by rich white men

But then they wouldn't be Republicans and would lose those sweet patronage dollars

Nah, but they'll have avenues to make it all happen because he seems to be wildly influenced by the last thing somebody said, and Vance knows who butters his bread.

He's surrounded by people who are going to try and make those promises come to fruition. That's why Project 2025 includes a directory of willing to implement it.

Gift link giving the first few hundred people access

It's a gift link; few people need that.

I think the hope is that others hear what they have to say, and join in voting for Harris.

To be fair, Trump is almost a quarter century older than Hitler was when he killed himself.
