Trump doing the right thing, but he’s doing it as Trump, which is still bad:runrussellrun wrote: ↑Mon Aug 10, 2020 8:42 pmDifferent times? Losing a huge tax base WAS different tymes, and certainly worthy of locking up the entire Maryland delegation, and suspending hairy corpsist. tRump is scum, but at this point, his biggest NO NO was locking into Joe biden's crack head son....for a favor.

It is partisan because its entire purpose to to have the chief law enforcement officer in this country provide cute, faux philosophical verbiage around the Fox axiom: "the left is evil." This is the AG doing nothing less than assisting in the President's campaign for reelection.

I get that those were different times, but his description of the role makes more sense now, when the nation -- like it or not -- is exceedingly large, diverse and difficult to govern. An Attorney General of the United States appearing on an arch-political show, telling viewers that the "left" -- that large, undefined but somehow easy to generalize and genericize grouping -- are demons, less than American, and to be stopped at all costs, is a really shameful thing to do.

The President and, increasingly, his functionaries, have decided that they represent only those folks who unfailingly support the Cult of Trump -- and that the rest of us are enemies. It's literally un-American. And if you don't see this, you desperately need a civics lesson in what, anyway, was....
