I’d say this “coup” was fun to watch, but I’m increasingly bored by these never-ending cycles of crisis politics. We have no power over any of it. We're just passive consumers of crisis content.
In case you need more, Nancy Pelosi said at a press conference today: "A complete tool of Putin, this president is. Putin's goal was to diminish the view of democracy in the world."
As much as I hate participating in Americans' rigid view of politics through the lens of their own pop culture, I find myself compelled to make the following shitpost: is she Great-Grandma Yodina?
How much of this stuff crisis media politics is just hysteria and how much comes from societal decline. Like the storming the capitol wasn’t exactly normal and don’t think it was some kind of big plot. Also seems like things like that will occur more often in future.
Amazing.. the different ghouls coming out in DC, united only by their unholiness. Your work is one of a very few things I have access to that makes me feel sane (relatively) and inspired, along with the rest of the exiled crew- thank you for keeping alive the vague hope that honesty is a thing
There was a fawning, credulous piece from either NYT or WaPo back in '17 about Rhodes while the Obama admin was leaving the WH, in which he whines to the effect of; "we couldn't get anything done because of The Blob"; "I only ever wanted to be a novelist like my hero, Don DeLillo. Yet somehow I fell into this job I didn't want against my will."
Of course, there is also a 450 page report strongly critical of FB, Amazon, Google, etc. monopolies -- since Dems will be chairing the discussion -- a timely pro-Dem "patriotic" action (as well as a destruction of a tiny but fast growing competitor - Parlor).
An amazing capture of international right-wingers in that riot -- I hope they are among arrested... You made my day -- thank you.

Most cogent comment I've seen yet... Thanks.

Ben Rhodes tweets like a drunk NTD-watching Russiagater.

What a sack of shit. Ben IS The Blob.

"a PG parody version of the real, deadly coups and assaults that America’s been exporting to countries around the world"
Indiana Jones and the Capitol of Doom!
Wow -- this is truly outstanding !!
