    “Standing” with means you boycott all White House events and pressers until he is allowed back in. Is the White House press corps up to it?

    I was just thinking about Isherwood's Berlin Stories -- specifically the bit where he describes his landlady's thoughts on Hitler in 1932 or 1933. She is not a Nazi & there are lots of things she doesn't like about Hitler, but she thinks he might the leader Germany needs.

    This clip gave me tachycardia. The entire assembled press corps should've walked out in protest after Trump refused to answer questions and told Jim Acosta that he was a horrible human being, etc.

    At this point I'm honestly surprised Egyptian police could find 19 human-rights lawyers and activists who weren't already in jail.

    Miller's Judaism is the big lacuna in all these interviews. For get his ignorance about the Peloponnesian League; he seems oblivious to the fact that Jews have always paid the price for nationalism.

    Stephen Miller thinks it's only in "the last few decades" that people tried to create allegiance to institutions "larger than the nation-state." The Peloponnesian League, Roman Empire, Aztecs, Incas, Abbasids, Holy Roman Empire, Hapsburgs, and Ottomans would probably disagree.

    Yesterday's episode of the podcast The Daily is so deeply disturbing. An innocuous working class couple in rural PA made hundreds of thousands of dollars by blogging flat-out racism / hatred / lies on Facebook.
