Looks like the establishment has finally turned against Trump rather than using him to triangulate.

I don’t think Buffett was ever pro-Trump. He’s been calling for a while for higher taxes on the rich.

Trump knows how to pander to a solid 30% of the public, and that’s about all he knows.

Mr Trump said: “He tells me he didn’t know about it, and I will take him at his word.”

Right-wing commentator Ben Shapiro called Mr Trump “pathetic”.
Gee, I agree with a right-wing commentator. What’s the world coming to?

He might be the only person on the planet who does not understand that you never take a politician or diplomat at their word.
And I say that as a proud Midwesterner. (Us, you can trust…unless we run for office.)

Makes me feel nostalgic for the days when either the leader knew about it – or should have.
Come to think of it, isn’t Trump fond of the phrase “the buck stops here?”.

Caveat: the pictures in this article do not represent most of us. Just too many.

There’s no way to get these people to understand that every single layer of what they believe is a lie.
From the article:
Morris, a nurse from Gainesville, Florida, who is African American, added: “I’m against socialism because I see it as a form of slavery. The rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. Cory Booker and Kamala Harris talk about Medicare for All and that will kill doctors’ incentives to work hard. Look at Cuba.”
First, medical stats from Cuba are actually quite impressive. Second, the idea that doctors are in it for the money (not everyone worships Mammon). Third, notice how the terminology has been manipulated to try to bring African Americans into the fold: if you label something as slavery, of course it’s bad.

I could only read the first couple of paragraphs.
Decades ago my dad once worked on the daily intelligence briefing for the president. He would be appalled to know that now it needs to be in coloring book form, only to be only part-way filled in with the wrong colors then torn into tiny bits.

What’s even more incongruous is that people who worked in the White House just three years ago feel the same way.

This happened.
Railing against Democrats, Mr Gorka told the Conservative Political Action Conference in Maryland on Thursday: "They want to take your pickup truck.
“They want to rebuild your home. They want to take away your hamburgers.”
Perhaps even more dubiously, he added: “This is what Stalin dreamt about but never achieved.”

Okay, that’s weird, because yesterday I read an article about an official Soviet government cookbook from the 1930s which popularised the hamburger. It’s now been transformed (more breading, no bun) into its own thing in Russian cuisine:
I am starting to wonder, though, what the point of whipping people into reactionary hysteria is, exactly. “Power” seems rather weak sauce compared to the lengths they’re going to.

It appears to me that they’re building justification for anti-socialist persecution/violence.
