    "Over time, exerting this kind of power can lead an autocrat to believe his own propaganda and act on his worst impulses, leading not just to the destruction of his foreign enemies, but to destabilizing situations at home that can jeopardize his rule."

     Ben-Ghiat could be speaking about Trump here.

    Oh, this will end well. 🙄

---

   Please, dear man, keep talking, since your last involvement in GA politics worked out so spectacularly well.

---

     It's not looking good in Ukraine, but it's the Russian Army getting hammered.

---

     Wow, there's a fucking shock.

    As expected, Biden nominated Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. Also as expected, white southern Republicans are reaching for the rope.

     I'd be amazed that so many right wingers fall for the "free speech zone" comeon if it wasn't for the fact they're dumber than a bag of dildos. Seriously, Parler said the same thing, Gettr said the same thing, Telegram said the same thing as part of their siren song then people started getting banned and censored immediately.

     I'm a man of little faith. Prove it.

     Anonymous, are you listening? (Tip o' the tinfoil hat to Constant Reader, CC)

---

     It's not going well for Ukraine but the going is at least as bad for Russia.

---

    The protests against Russia are global. Except for a small handful of ex Soviet shithole dictatorships like Belarus, Putin is completely isolated.

---

    Not a good look for MTG. But then again, nothing is.

---

    This bellowing peckerhead is no better than an extra in Idiocracy.

---

     Got to keep those shareholders from getting pissed off.

    I get what Lucian Truscott IV is saying here and we should take him up on some of his initiatives. Yet I don't think he's completely thought out the geopolitical and economic fallout that would result from some of his suggestions. And finally...

    Right wingers really do live in an alternate dimension.
