That’s an excellent article. Just wanted to point out that it’s dated last Tuesday, September 23rd. That nitpick us important because Reich refers to events happening over the previous week by days of the week rather than by calendar dates—so it’s important for the reader to be aware that Reich is speaking of the week Monday 9/15 through Sunday 9/21.
Reich’s article today is something of a continuation of the ideas in his Tuesday 9/23 article.
True enough.
Perhaps we are lucky in having an incompetent authoritarian (would-be, anyway) regime.
thanks for correction, I was thinking I posted the current one! I’m enjoying his and Paul Krugman’s substack pieces (and Jeff Tiedrich for general orneryness)
The recent conduct of Lindsey Graham suggests that they have been doing this.
Well, maybe. But he’s been cravenly crawling before Donald for several years, now. I don’t see any particular new low in his genuflecting.
When you get to a certain age, recent takes on a new meaning. I meant his conduct since about 2015.
Oh, yeah, in that case I fully agree.
There are some who speculate that Graham’s psychology is such that he always finds a more powerful man to toady for (e.g. John McCain). That’s likely true, but Donald may have been making sure Lindsey performs on a regular basis, as needed, through extortion.
