“Trust the process” for politics, but instead of angry fans, throwing the season to get all the first round picks just comes at the low low cost of immeasurable human misery.

Wow, real banana republic stuff. I'm glad our presidents can launder money and associate criminally without worrying about this kind of thing.

As soon as they realized they could do this with elite university presidents was the moment they became terminally high on their own supply. I vaguely remember NYT all but whining back in Jan about why MIT’s president hadn’t resigned yet despite all of their incredible, essential, negative coverage

When I was in law school, my conlaw prof told us this was the obvious implication of giving Gitmo detainees (some) due process but also not holding the Bush admin guys accountable. It led directly to the drone strike regime since that conveniently took care of anyone who might assert their rights.

Someone more intelligent than me should connect this to how the media has treated trump’s scandals versus the slightest whiff of Dems’ scandals (“It’s only worthy of coverage if it’s hidden. If it’s out in the open it gets a pass.”)

And this is (was? will be?) the defining characteristic of the Trump presidency/era! Base criminality is fine as long as you do it brazenly enough. Whereas trying to follow the rules is for suckers and will inevitably get caught in a web of legal technicalities.

I kind of figured they'd see how Biden did in the debate and if the news cycle was bad for him, drop immunity on Monday so people spent the weekend talking about it, but if the news cycle was good for him, drop immunity today so people stopped talking about it.

Take a knee, folks. I know the mens rea required to get convicted of reckless endangerment and it is conscious disregard of a substantial and unjustifiable risk. And I want to let you know I am consciously disregarding this risk BECAUSE it is substantial and unjustifiable.

I went to Times Square to join the protest against Kathy Hochul’s craven attack on the MTA’s congestion pricing program, and the homemade signs did not disappoint.

It's an obvious measure of her suburban mindset, but I sincerely doubt Hochul lit billions of dollars on fire for a $30k donation from car dealers. The simplest explanation and the one that's being reported is that calls from Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer and other big Dems were the major factor.

I hate that I've been vindicated on this but my basic prediction from like 2019 stands undefeated that we will never actually get congestion pricing in NY and that everyone involved is too cowardly to actually do it (and even if they do, the courts will throw it out or something).

On a similar note, since it seems like the Dems have a veto-proof supermajority in the VT legislature they presumably should just diffuse the situation by requiring same-party replacement. It's also just a normal "good government" thing, and it baffles me that they haven't done it!
