Outside the Beltway

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.

Here we go again.

Remember, remember the fifth of November…

Trump, Bezos, and the slippery slope of authoritarianism.

Staffers are in mutiny after owners killed plans to endorse Kamala Harris for President.

Our long national nightmare is not over.

With a guest appearance by Hitler.

And yes, Trump fits the definitions all too well.

The 45th President and the press, part a million.

A mild-mannered JD Vance out-debated a nervous Tim Walz. It won’t matter.

A chilling feature from the Wall Street Journal.

They have a preference but may not vote.

The skews may offset.

It’s not 2019 anymore.

A Republican columnist is angry that Trump, not Harris, is being seen as the incumbent.

His former National Security Advisor is not impressed.

The sitting Vice President isn’t getting blamed for the economy.

A stark contrast in vibes.

Or maybe a gift certificate to some online poli sci courses?

A surreal Democratic National Convention.

The soft bigotry of low expectations.

Democrats suddenly have multiple paths to victory.

Where will it go?

His Presidential aspirations may have played a big factor
