Things Now Okay To Do

January 22, 2025January 22, 2025

It’s okay to commit seditious conspiracy, for which Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio was sentenced by a Trump-appointed judge to 22 years in prison, and Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes, by an Obama-appointed judge, to 18 . . . so long as your treason was on behalf of Donald Trump.  They’re now back out on the street.

It’s okay to steal classified documents from the government . . .

. . . okay to lie to the FBI about having them . . .

. . . okay to move them around to keep the FBI from finding them . . .

. . . but only if you’re Trump.

This is how it works in Putin’s Russia; and now, tragically, here.



Conservative George Will reviews Monday’s inaugural address — “memorable for its staggering inappropriateness.”

(Of the national “energy emergency” Trump declared, he notes that, adjusted for inflation, gas cost less Monday than it did 70 years ago, in 1955.)



[Correction:  The tax cuts for the rich expire at the end of this year, not in 2027 as initially posted yesterday.]
