HUH? #2, "He tolerates a modicum of dissent, so long as it remains private; expects advisers to fall in line and defend his decisions; and demands absolute fealty at all times." How is that
'Kafkaesque"? Seems pretty straightforward and not unusual. https://t.co/L6PTlKt3ls— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) September 12, 2019

HUH? "The president enjoys gladiator fights-pitting his aides against one another like so many ancient Romans-but only if he can play emperor, presiding over the melee and crowning the victor." Isn't that how it usually works? FDR had Ickes vs. Hopkins. Who do you think decided? https://t.co/j5eAVhMcFd

Good idea. On the other nothing could make this story boring like a new Church Committee. Proven route to tedium. If the "Epstein Project" *were* a Mossad operation, and I were the Mossad, I'd immediately demand Trey Gowdy be named to head a special bipartisan investigation. https://t.co/pDE78H9v1H

"There’s an ideological need among Democrats to think the general trend toward income inequality is the product of insidious, reversible … policies." What if it isn't? https://t.co/k2JY3eKC4q

Is the "parenting wage" work-tested (e.g. someone in household has to work to qualify for it)? Or should we call it Aid to Families with Dependent Children? https://t.co/plLrEjwVzZ

Why is Ford debt junk? "[L}et's be honest, they’ve not really offered any sort of true replacements for all the sedans they binned last year." Not a good when a car company decides it can no longer build … cars. Toyota can. Honda can. Mazda can. https://t.co/4b7rMU8MIl

I ran for Senate and, like @BetoORourke, my campaign came up a bit short. But I don't think the enthusiasm and excitement we generated should be allowed to go to waste — not when the nation we love faces so many challenges. I will have an important announcement to make soon.

Zero (0) miles of "new linear wall" have been built. Admin won't say when first mile will even start. Looks like Trump let Schumer/Ryan/his own staff tie him up for first half of his term. https://t.co/Uhoq7gFFDK

Don't give up, Max! Just a few more columns and sound bites — you can do it– and we'll reach the "tipping point," in which Trump spontaneously evaporates in a puff of smoke. https://t.co/q8ZL7cZ1aL

I mean, youd think at some point Gates would just regard the aggressively bombarding Epstein as a pest. Yet no, he visited him and rode on his plane. As many have said, Gates has explaining to do. Not through PR aides either. https://t.co/VsSWW6h7wz

Stevens deleted the tweet. (It talked about Sanford's Argentine mistress' grad degrees.) I just find anti-Trumpers' reflexive credentialism revealing (in different way than Trump's hire-from-Goldman credentialism). Last resort of those whose policies are unpopular for good reason https://t.co/AZia5eKlEM
