When Trump proposes banning DEI ideology from institutions, it may seem OK because getting get rid of ideologies is sometimes helpful. However, Trump actually wants to impose his own ideology on institutions. . . an ideology which we could call Racism, Xenophobia, and Misogeny (RXM).

The problem with laws which give a president extraordinary powers in an "emergency" lies in who defines "emergency." Legislators writing such laws don't realize that corrupt and dishonest presidents may falsely declare an "emergency" in order to gain and consolidate their power.

It is fascinating to watch the republicans throw away any remaining shreds of decency and integrity to become willing stooges for DOGE and Trump. They no longer wish to be lawmakers in a democratic country. They wish to be the Emperor's Eunuchs.

The "on again, off again" tariff situation makes for poor economic policy, but it makes for great grifting. There will be a steady flow of supplicants begging for exceptions and offering all sorts of bribes in return.
