President Donald Trump, his allies, and the anti-Russiagate press have been taking their victory laps

Exactly— we’re still in early days— this is the brand-building phase. It’s how politics work. First you put your face and voice out there and let people take your measure. Zooming in on the issues & policy will come later. I’m utterly unfussed by the depth & variation of the list of prospects so far, because they’ll…

Like, yeah, the dude should start talking concrete policy soon—if not a little while ago—but this is pretty harmless. It’s not like he’s Paul Ryan talking Rage Against the Machine, or whatever. More people learned about Mayor Pete from that one anecdote about him learning Norwegian to read a book than from his…

Does it really chap your hide that he hypes his punk rock roots?  He’s not my first choice, but it’s something that every kid has dreamed about.  Definitely makes him more human than Grifter Trump Inc.

the students refused the school’s resource officer’s demand for them to leave campus.
