This is what happens when the guy in charge cares not about what is true or factual, but what represents the greatest loyalty to him personally. ---

the meeting broke up into 3 camps. white house in yellow oval, powell in the roosevelt room, and guiliani into the cabinet room. trump kept trying to appoint powell to something but it was ill defined. ---

As I puzzled way back in the middle of 2017, _how_ does he attract presumably smart people to be so fanatically loyal. Is the pay that fantastic? Does self-respect count for nothing? Flynn is my biggest disappointment. ---

It is a review of three books detailing the source of the current state of the American right. The first book (\_A World After Liberalism, Matthew Rose) is about the intellectual underpinnings of the right; how various racist and ethnocentric thinkers going back all the way to Spengler developed ideas that appeal to many in the west who resist cultural and demographic change. Despite their lack of a mass following, their concepts … The third book of the three-book review I cited in this post has some insight into the psychology of the Republican staffer under the Trump regime. Also, Barton Gellman had a recent article in The Atlantic online about Flynn in particular. ---
