to convey the sense of impending doom that seizes anyone who turns on the news lately. And in the wake of Signalgate, as David Remnick writes,
@evanasmith @Gotoomem 3).
it has become clear not only that the @realDonaldTrump Administration has made no attempts to disguise its autocratic intentions but also that its »qualities of malevolence, retribution, and bewildering velocity have obscured somewhat the ineptitude of its principals«.”

„It’s not the hypocrisy that bothers me; it’s the stupidity. We’re all shocked – shocked! – that @POTUS @realDonaldTrump and his team don’t actually care about protecting classified information or federal record retention laws. But we knew that already.

What’s much worse is that top Trump administration officials put our troops in jeopardy by sharing military plans on a commercial messaging app and unwittingly invited a journalist into the chat. That’s dangerous. And it’s just dumb.”

„Sherwood Eddy (1871–1963) [1] was a prominent American missionary as well as that now rare thing, a Christian socialist. In the 1920s and ’30s, he made more than a dozen trips to the Soviet Union.

[...] he thought he had found in Russia something that his own individualistic society lacked: a “unified philosophy of life.” In Russia, he wrote, »all life is focused in a central purpose.

It is directed to a single high end and energized by such powerful and glowing motivation that life seems to have supreme significance«.
