End of rant. For now. I'm sure they'll do it again before long.

Saw this in former Enron adviser @paulkrugman's column. Image
Wondering what it was about, I clicked on the link, which took me to the New Republic. Image
It seemed obvious to me that Trump was referring to the National Park Service's (quickly rescinded) announcement that it would tear down a statute of William Penn. I'm willing to give Krugman and TNR the benefit of the doubt and assume they really didn't understand the joke.

Justice Department spokesman tells AP (in reporter's paraphrase) "the CDC had said it would continue to assess public health conditions, and if the agency determined a mandate was necessary for public health, the Justice Department would file an appeal." apnews.com/article/judge-…
"As of Tuesday, the agency hadn’t made a determination, officials said." The mandate had been scheduled to expire Monday anyway, but the CDC extended it for 15 days. Now we're told "the agency hadn't made a determination" that it was "necessary for public health."
Judge Mizelle's ruling notes that the Public Health Act authorizes the CDC to order certain types of measures that "'in [its] judgment are necessary' to prevent the spread of communicable disease." ecf.flmd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_p…

Saw this in my Facebook feed.

"You keep talking about Ebola, you've got Ebola in my head here."
I need this like I need Ebola in my head.

This may be my all-time favorite TDS talking point: The Iranian strike was a masterstroke because there were no casualties. @NickKristof: nytimes.com/2020/01/08/opi… Image
This is especially rich given the title of the column. Image

OK, let's consider the argument here.
The first two grafs set the piece up as a rebuttal of the claim that Trump has "razed" conservatism "to its foundations."
The third graf asserts the strength of "conservatism's founding principles." So are we supposed to be disappointed with Trump's failure to raze the rickety structure built upon them so that something better can take its place? The piece never says.
