The nitwit's reported diesel deal with Russia raises serious questions: (1) what commitments were made; (2) what safeguards exist: and, (3) how this deal fit US policy on Iran ???

Mark Carney has raised a disturbing question about modern warfare: "What happens when a country fighting for its survival depends on technology that a foreign company or government can suddenly restrict?"

If evidence shows that Elon Musk ordered restrictions on Ukraine’s Starshield access and bears criminal responsibility for war crimes, he should face prosecution. If the ICC has jurisdiction and the evidence supports charges, his wealth should offer no protection from a trial in The Hague.

Elon Musk is not an elected official. Still he hijacked U.S. national defence policy to harm Ukraine and help enemy Russia. Aiding and abetting Russian war crimes is a war crime …

That only took 10 days !!! S H AM E F U L !!! We cannot permit a private company, controlled by one man (a civilian with undisclosed personal interests), to put our national military interests, as well as those of our allies, at risk. It's time to "nationalize" Musk's Starlink network !!!

In August, President Trump announced he had signed the “biggest oil deal in world history.” ProPublica reviewed the deal and found it gives a small group of people largely handpicked by the Trump administration long-term control of the enterprise.

The persistent attachment to the 'presumption of regularity' blinds observers to the systemic repatrimonialization of American governance. Nitwit 2.0 transformed the executive branch from an impersonal, meritocratic apparatus into a personal fiefdom by systematically dismantling the civil service.

Because of the “presumption of regularity”, both Congress and the courts historically defer to the President's "unique constitutional responsibilities" over the internal management of the executive branch and treat disruptions as routine internal house-cleaning.

This procedural camouflage allows the President to replace professional, rational-legal competence with informal patron-client networks, effectively immunizing a personal racket from outside oversight.

Semantic infiltration decouples words — especially aspirational words — from their foundational meanings and brands them as toxic thereby transforming tools of civic aspiration into instruments of calumny. Three distinct rhetorical phases implement semantic Infiltration:

Anyone — How do I submit my essay to The Atlantic for consideration?

Dave@questor606.bsky.social

Jonathan Rauch's essay entitled "One Word Describes Trump" and published by The Atlantic 24 Feb 2025 has really energized me. In fact, I drafted a complimentary essay comparing "Patrimonialism" to what I call "Commonwealism". Anyone — How do I submit my essay to The Atlantic for consideration?

By definition, patrimonialism is corrupt because exploiting the state for gain—political, personal, and financial—is its sole reason for being. At every turn, it is at war with the rules and institutions (the presumption of regularity) that impede rigging, robbing, and gutting the state.
