Little known fact, Max Weber, not Aaron or I, invented the term "stoogery." Or was it Marx?

Greenblatt (no relation to me) also talks about enablers of narcissistic tyrants and their motivations.

What seems like dumb decisions is just criminals working the system for private looting.

Fascism is anti-intellectual and anti-meritocratic. It thrives on rightfully passed over twits with an ax to grind and a coffer to loot. It is laughably incompetent. It is the revenge of the turds.

But it is also extremely destructive. Especially when directed by Vladimir Putin.

I listened to Blanche's interview of Maxwell.
It's a good old fashioned creep fest.

An excellent summary.
My only disappointment is that he did not put Marco Rubio, the Secretary of Failed State, front and center. Little Marco is the best example of his โ€œsoul sellerโ€ group.

Melanoma says she wasn't Epstein's victim.

I totally believe her.

She was actually a co-conspirator.

The only problem is these folks are also charismatic, at least initially. Many times they arenโ€™t recognizable until itโ€™s too late. The people who recognized the evil below the surface have been duly discounted by the loudest voices.

SERIOUS QUESTION.
If our dear leader takes us on a murderous "excursion" without the concent of congress while making insane statements and his cabinet remains silent, and the party he leads is afraid of him, are we in a constitutional crisis yet?
