How a Stoic responds to political turmoil.
While I'm discouraged that my fellow citizens elected a criminal as their president, I'm proud that I downplayed his criminality enough to maintain my status as a neutral reporter.
One of Trump's clearest "accomplishments" is how thoroughly he's desensitized America to behavior that, in another era, voters would have deemed disqualifying. Plenty of blame to go around—media, craven GOP pols, blundering Dems—but this may be one of his most enduring legacies.
At least when daughters come home to their Trump dads and tell them they were assualted at school or on a date, the dad can tell them "That's a presidential quality."

We are engulfed by depravity. But it’s more important than ever not to succumb to it.
Life is tragic. The human condition is fatal. The earth is insatiable. But it’s still pretty in sunlight, isn’t it?
Donald Trump — the twice impeached former president, Jan. 6 coup leader, convicted felon, adjudicated sexual abuser, and man who mismanaged the 2020 economic implosion and coronavirus disaster that killed more than 1 million people in this country — has convinced American voters…
The test has only just begun. It may not be 1933, but it’s not 2016 either. Now all the power is with one man, not just one party, since the GOP is Trump's personal United Russia now. Trump has no agenda other than personal wealth & power, but his handlers have bigger plans. 5/7
Our nation’s democratic system functioned last night and we have a new President-elect. All Americans are bound, whether we like the outcome or not, to accept the results of our elections. We now have a special responsibility, as citizens of the greatest nation on earth, to do…
If you think Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott and Senate Majority Leader John Thune or John Cornyn are going to advance the SAFE Banking Act, you're going to have a very bad time. You asked for this, though.
I went to bed at midnight, and woke up to find out it’s still midnight.
Disagree. This is worse. Because people know exactly what they were voting for and said “yup, sign me up.”
The fact is that we have very secure elections. Any areas where there were known problems should be double checked, but there is no reason to suspect fraud at this time. Separately, Russia should be punished for their election disruption efforts.
It's unbelievable that this wasn't the end for him.
No matter what happens, it saddens me deeply that rape, felonies, trying to overthrow our democracy, misogyny, racism and transphobia are somehow not deal breaks for 10’s of millions of Americans.
