It’s hard, day after day, to sneak up on the newsfeeds hoping for something… hopeful, only to discover the next frighteningly dumb thing happening in the Trump White House.
It’s difficult to know how to perceive things- as genuinely nefarious and insidious, or more the bumblings of sycophants and rubes who are play-acting and spouting the party line. I suspect the level of compromised values and knuckling under is pretty high for anyone who comes into the Trump orbit and expects to stick around for a while. And this batch has been more thoroughly vetted by the Heritage Foundation and others of this creepy brain trust.
And yet… there is still a part of me that wonders, on occasion, if some of these appointees may find their spine at some point and stand up to Kings Trump and Musk. Maybe the next generation of Hutchinsons and Milleys and Kinzingers are in place and biding their time.
Nah. Probably less likely, this time around.
