Nader*, We Can't Let Kavanaugh's Confirmation Go
"A new Kavanaugh Watch group-lean and sharp-needs to be created to publicize the Five Corporatist Judges." Good luck wit dat, "Ghostofgramsci".
Scheer & Stanley, America Is on the Road to Becoming a Fascist State
"When you see the dominant group made to feel like they're the victims in the face of all the facts, that's when you know that fascist politics is taking grip."
Ioz, The Shameless Opportunism of Nikki Haley
She will, I suspect, reinvent herself in precisely the mold of a John Bolton, a peripatetic cable news beast who will lurk through whatever modest Democratic backlash Trump's insanity unleashes, until a cleverer and subtler fascist in the early 2020s achieves power again and brings her back into the fold.

Arnold Schwarzenegger once called political opponents 'girly men.' He now regrets it.
"At the time it felt like the right thing to do. It was in my gut. I improvised it. I called them girly men because they weren't willing to take risks," he said in an interview published Wednesday in Men's Health magazine.

"They were afraid of everything," he added. "Politicians in general want to do little things so there's no risk involved. But it was shortsighted. In the long term, it's better to not say that, because you want to work with them."

An end of an era?
