It is wrong to diagnose from afar. It is, however, therapeutic to wildly speculate.

Being lawless does not make Trump omnipotent – nor can he just snap his fingers and make all his authoritarian desires a reality. America is in an acutely dangerous situation. But obscuring those distinctions is an act of defeatism that only serves the regime.

No, if we made rail a priority here in the US we could have it. Particularly light rail! Hell, in LOS ANGELES they decided they wanted light rail and they made it happen; you can get on a train in Claremont, on the edge of LA county, and get into downtown LA in an hour.

That’s because the Republicans are pretty sure they will be able to shoot Newsom down if he makes a presidential run, but they’re not so sure about Pritzker. The more Pritzker gets mentioned on the news, the greater his name recognition.
Angus MacDonald (@littleangus.bsky.social) reposted reply parent
From another angle: Pritzker might bank more local support by spreading credit around; I'm guessing he hasn't burned as many homestate bridges as Newsom.

If Donald Trump were healthy, and if liberals were speculating on his health and suggesting he was ill or worse, then the Donald Trump we all know would be more than happy to loudly and publicly refute them, rub it in their faces, mock them, and use it for his favorite purpose: keening self-pity.

Why do I blame Bill Cassidy for the destruction of the CDC and the NIH? Because he is a physician. He knew or should have known the danger that Kennedy poses to the U.S. and the globe. Kennedy has never hidden what he is—a predator, a fraud, an anti-science hack, and a gargantuan narcissist.
