Finally read this, and the reporting is as good as everyone says it is. It’s also terrifying, confounding, and deeply weird. The most powerful people in American politics right now — including the guy who has all our personal data — aren’t just evil, they’re absolutely bonkers.

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office.
I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.
The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.
I don't know how to yell any louder.
One of the truly weird culture war flashpoints of this era is how an anti-parasitic on the market for 35 years became the right's cure-all snake oil and popular way of signaling contempt for modern medicine.
RE:
I’d seen the nutty excerpts of Miller’s speech at Kirk’s memorial, but hadn’t seen the whole thing. It’s easily the most unhinged, unapologetically fascist rhetoric I’ve ever seen from someone in US government.
It’s more of a discount, Dwight Schrute Goebbels than Goebbels. But still.
