More people deserve to know that Trump modeled the scowl in his presidential portrait after Churchill — because that’s what he imagines “leadership” looks like.
He thinks he’s Churchill leading the forces of Western civilization in their finest hour — when the only possible point of comparison that works is with Churchill causing a massive famine in Bengal because he couldn’t be arsed.
What a preposterously stupid, vicious human being.
“What would Churchill coup,” the president thought. 🙄

Nate Silver, armed with his aura of expertise, is entering a second day of talking past an epidemiologist telling him, ‘Annie Hall’-style, that he knows nothing about their work.

Oy gevalt.
I meant ‘Annie Hall’-style literally, by the way. The epidemiologist told Silver, in their first reply to him …
And here it is: the liberal rendition of the American habit of considering one’s ignorance as just as good as a professional’s expertise.

“I know a fair bit about COVID,” he writes while shouting down epidemiologists. Okay, champ. Sure.

A disease has killed over 300,000 people whose lives this administration had sworn to protect, but
This is all so insultingly, and infuriatingly, stupid.
A great-power adversary of the U.S. hacked into an array of sensitive federal systems, along with those of scores of major corporations, and

Longtime political journalist Perry Bacon, Jr., recently wrote that watching Speaker Pelosi through 2019 “clarified for me that maybe the politicians aren’t all brilliant strategists.” bluegrassbeat.substack.com/p/how-cities-m…

The tiff over House Dem committee assignments is a good case in point.
Center-left and centrist Dems blocked AOC from a seat on the Energy & Commerce Cmte — but opted for … a rep who literally challenged Pelosi in 2018, a move AOC conspicuously refused to support.
That move — blocking a perceived foe of the Speaker by rewarding *an actual recent foe* of the Speaker — reveals a fragile foundation of support for Pelosi’s leadership, which can’t be what her team wants.

It’s December, on the cusp of a new Democratic presidency — and Republicans are scheming to tank any chance of aiding an economic recovery, presumably hoping to blame Democrats for the misery that results.

Tell me: what year is it?
Welp, it looks like Senate Republicans might tank relief for suffering Americans before the holidays — except if Democrats give Republicans a shot at tanking any economic recovery under Biden.

Tails, we all get shafted now; heads, we all get shafted later.
Thanks to an obstinate Republican refusal to provide state or local aid, school layoffs loom just when Americans need to seek to give children _more_ time in schools, so students can make up lost time.

But Republicans don’t want to mortgage kids’ futures, we hear. Okay, sure.

These cheapskate, penny-wise, pound-foolish, bloodthirsty motherf––ers take purposeful steps to get their fellow Americans killed when they aren’t even trying.

Idiots. Villains. Ghouls. nytimes.com/live/2020/12/0…
Absolute dunderheaded monsters, the entire lot.

If only they spared a tenth of a percent of the energy they devoted to defying the election results to saving anyone but their useless selves from this damned virus.
Mm-hm.

Things Republicans have fought harder against than the coronavirus:
- marriage equality
- the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
- raising the $7.25 minimum wage
- the postal service
- free and fair elections
Incompetence, ignorance, and a more than a skosh of villainy: it’s a killer combination, literally.
Democrats tried to give more Americans health care. Republicans keep trying to give each other the virus.
