Opinion | I Hold Pam Bondi in Contempt

#FrankBruni writes an excellent newsletter:

#Bondi came into that hearing last week as a joke... head of a JD whose handling of the #Epsteinfiles exposed it as a travesty. What she should have been feeling & projecting was humiliation. She opted for contempt.

Opinion | Trump’s Approval Ratings Have Declined. So Has His Vigor.

My Take: We need more of this. A lot more. It's quite obvious that this dude is in bad health. At worst, significantly declining abilities. He's dosing off in meetings.

Opinion | Trump’s Fiercest War Is on Reality Itself

"If history is written by the victors, the present is fabricated by those who throw themselves most ruthlessly and shamelessly into the storytelling. Trump and his principal abettors are just about peerless in that regard." #frankbruni

Opinion | Pope Francis’ Gay Muddle (Gift Article) Good Catholics were supposed to embrace gay people but not their gayness. That’s hardly the arithmetic of equality.

Opinion | Trump’s Crackerjack Cabinet Is a Fiasco Foretold Pete Hegseth & Co. weren’t chosen for their competence.

"As President Trump’s crackerjack cabinet settles in and unsettles any sentient American, we are not beholding a series of discrete embarrassments and outrages. We are witnessing iterations of the same horror story." - #FrankBruni

Opinion | Susan Collins and Her Cowardly Caucus Bow Down to Trump No nominee — not Kennedy, not Gabbard — is a provocateur too far for Senate Republicans.

“Concerned” Susan won’t douse the flames; nope, she’s running from the fire and letting it all burn down. No honor. No integrity. Selfish, Cruel and #FrankBruni is absolutely accurate — a member of the cowardly caucus. #VoteOutSusan. #CowardlySusan

Re our current politics. I read in a #FrankBruni column a view from overseas: “…not a battle btw left & right… more like a soccer game between a mid-ranking team and a herd of stampeding buffalo. Sure, the buffalo might win – but not by playing soccer.“ Sounds abt right.
