Outside the Beltway

The country is not happy with Trump. Except for Republicans.

The polls are showing a really weird dynamic.

Qui bono?

…and I write a bit more than that.

Nationwide protests yesterday show a growing outrage over Trump 2.0.

It’s like tab clearing, but for those with no attention spa… squirrel!

A seemingly obvious ruling was nonetheless 5-4.

It made history in many ways.

A symbol of party and person, not of country.

Countering Russian (and now American) propaganda.

Unfortunately it is a destructive one.

The 47th President had a busy Monday.

The 47th President is flooding the zone.

This should be unacceptable, yet here we are.

More immigration politics.

Coping in a second Trump term.

A difference in degree is a difference in kind.

It was a busy eleventh hour.

Normal transition . . . and potential red flags.

Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and both Roosevelts pushed the envelope, too!

And so it begins.

About half the country wants about half of Trump.

It is not ratified.

The Majority Leader has a bigger role than previously reported.

An observation or two.

It “literally threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights and freedoms and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead.”

Legions of unpaid drones . . . ? . . . budget cuts.

The man who tried to prevent the vote from being counted last time is about to be certified President again.

America’s 39th President, and greatest ex-President, is gone at the ripe old age of 100.

Eleven weeks with no accountability.

I question the timing.

Not to mention impotence.

The cruelty isn’t the point.

Abusing power to prevent the abuse of power?

The Florida governor is among several names being floated to replace Pete Hegseth.

Trump is like a child with a new toy.

Some quotes to ponder.

Peace, for a time.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

The President-Elect is testing the guardrails early.

When the abnormal ceases to be.

In which I agree with Trump about the problem, but NOT the solution

It’s neither unprecedented nor powerful. It doesn’t exist.

Also: don’t forget a lot of people also voted against him.

How that awful man won again.

Let’s take a moment to recognize our grief, and what it means.
