I thought this gopnik essay was actually really good, about how some form of autocracy, not democracy, is the natural state of things and that we are essentially waging constant battle to build or even just preserve liberal institutions

tho I'd be amazed if he knows the distinction.

He doesn't, but I've already seen some screenshots of the now deleted Parler posts that basically render the difference meaningless.

I mean, if we learned anything from the 6th, let's not dismiss the signals he's sending just because they are dumb and incoherent.

there is a section of his wall there, I belive

tbh I just assumed he was going to the actual Alamo as part of this wall trip because it's the most Trump thing possible

early-Woolf semantic prosody (Hadrian VIII), Tuesday, 12 January 2021 15:27 (five years ago)

going to alamo tx and not the alamo fort is the most trump thing possible

Yeah, he wants one last chance to brag about the biggest accomplishment of his term.

Would be fun if he gave a speech at the Alamo Rent-A-Car

epistantophus, Tuesday, 12 January 2021 15:39 (five years ago)

So apparently now that he's left the building he's back on that ol' "witch hunt" bullshit? Um, I think they found the witch, actually, they're just trying to figure out what to do with him.

Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 12 January 2021 15:39 (five years ago)

Now Alamo Rent-A-Car is going to have to make a statement distancing themselves from Trump.

Love this shot of the Nancy Boy handing a check over to a local police chief.

In a tense, 30-minute-plus phone call this morning with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Trump trotted out the Antifa line.

McCarthy would have none of it, telling the president: "It's not Antifa, it's MAGA. I know. I was there," according to a White House official and another source familiar with the call.

The White House official said the call was tense and aggressive at times, with Trump ranting about election fraud and an exasperated McCarthy cutting in to say, "Stop it. It's over. The election is over."

It took this effing long and almost losing their lives for A FEW of these clowns to think about maybe not humoring him anymore

Stop it
It's over

I'll never find another Prez like u
For happy endings it takes two
We're fire and ice
The dream won't come true

If he’s really going to the wall on election day I sure hope some Narcos do the needful.

After lying about a speech in which he encouraged rioters, Trump pivots to whataboutism, says "if you look at what other people have said -- politicians at a high level -- about the riots during the summer, the horrible riots in Portland and Seattle ... that was a real problem." pic.twitter.com/kciarq1Nm0

He just can't walk by a camera without spouting nonsense into it. It's just not possible for him.
