Establishment: We're facing the death of Western democracy, civil society, freedom and truth itself!
Narrator: Abandon the push for ever more mass immigration and those threats willl go away.

Problem with Ioffe's theory that Trump's sucking up to Putin because "he helped him win" in 2016 is that Trump was sucking up to Putin in 2013. (See Isikoff & Corn, Russian Roulette, pp. 11,14) https://t.co/j4k9nyX9Ax

Isikoff & Corn have Trump crudely overpraising Putin in 2013, long before presidential run. ("He's done a very brilliant job…put himself at the forefront of the world."**) Suggests there's some other explanation for this longtime Trump habit. (Don't know what it is!)

Trump isn't acting like a Russian mole https://t.co/6vChC2LO4B .@wrmead argues for looking at what Trump DOES. (Though why would it be a "[sign] of treason" to "acquiesce in a greater Russian presence and say in the Middle East"? Wasn't that practically a campaign promise?)

"Stakeholders" is the language of corporatist noblesse oblige. ('We are not constrained by the market. We are not constrained by the voters. We occupy a semi-feudal position. But don't worry, we'll be nice to you serfs.') https://t.co/HED8jslKWY

Come to think of it, virtually anything outgoing Speaker Ryan wants to do in his Legacy Lame Duck is more possible with an incoming Dem House–then he can tell GOPs 'It's now or never." How unhappy will he *really* be if GOPs lose mid-terms**?

Some paranoia:
1) Ryan's leaving but says he plans to "run through the tape"
2) That means a potential LAME DUCK SESSION during w/ he tries to pass immig. bill
3) Ryan's position stronger-vs. restrictionists-if incoming Dem majority
4) Does Ryan reallly want GOPS to hold House?— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey) July 16, 2018

Hope it doesn't last. @MaggieNYT performs valuable public service–offers better product for free on Twitter than the one @NYTimes charges $ for. Maybe @Twitter could create green check mark where they cut some posters' employers in on the revenue. …. If they had revenue. https://t.co/MJmhntDfe4
