"But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?" - Melville

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

This is why when this regime falls we need absolute accountability. I am dead serious that we need a Nuremberg 2.0 for the worst offenders and a sustained and harsh anti-corruption drive for scammers. I worry if we don’t get legal accountability soon, people will start doing it extrajudicially.

One drum I keep beating is that the Trumpification of the Republican Party is irreversible. Even after he's gone it will be exclusively cranks, charlatans, and malevolent antisocial goons.

Their plan is to say as little as possible and win by default, which in their mind is the safest path that doesn't alienate anyone. This misses the opportunity to galvanize the public around important issues, and then they throw up their hands about how the voters are ignorant and apathetic

I do find it amazing that even in this moment, the Dems can't come up with some sort of "Contract for America" like language that offers an alternative to Trump. Maybe they have it, but whatever governing vision they have is lost in the noise.
