Two pages

Jonathan Capehart, on the PBS NewsHour last night, commenting on the indictment of James Comey:

“It’s only two pages. And it’s only — it’s two pages because it’s double-spaced.”
I wrote down Jonathan Capehart’s sentences on an index card last night and remembered to post them only when I watched the NewsHour tonight. And now I’m typing as the current occupant is directing that American military forces be sent to “War ravaged Portland.”

WWDFWD in this moment? Reality has outstripped satire, though not, the gods willing, for keeps.

Not even long enough to bec florid and enervating.

It’s all so weird, as forecast…

I think “florid” and “enervating” are reserved for his social-media efforts. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

I was just remembering how back in 2024 people said that for his first term some people in the White House were his guard rails, and that for his second term nobody at all would be there to be a guard rail.
That has certainly turned out to be the case.

Yes. With Stephen Miller (among others) in the White House, there are no guard rails.
