Noonan's take on the Trump Presidency. She does a nice job of explaining some of his appeal in 2016 at the start of the column - but I think she underestimates the strength of his support for 2024.

I agree. And it worries me.

Here is a statement from an erstwhile GOP judge who's all-in on the histrionic narrative. Nary a sentence goes by in this statement without some top-shelf word being deployed to impress the gravity of the situation upon the reader. Our entire democracy existed on a precipice we could have pulled back from with a few locked doors. But nobody responsible for locking the doors, or for understanding that they should be locked, is being held accountable. Only the 'insurrectionists', and the evil mastermind behind them, Donald Trump.

Peggy jumped the shark fifteen years ago on what rank and file Republicans think.

At least you read fast. My morbid curiosity got the best of me and I spent several minutes wading through it.

Easier to read if you can view the PDF directly without CNN website’s pathetic PDF reader widget.

Thanks, that’s very nicely written.

Steve Bannon says he's willing to testify in front of the Jan. 6 committee, preferably publicly:

The Oathkeepers guy said he'll testify as well. As long as it's live and unedited for broadcast.
