No, there is no plan. [View all]

I have used the phrase before to describe the Trump administration's nature of governance: policy ejaculations.

The president is a man governed by impulse without any executive control. To him, declarations of war (police action) or hurricane relief or tax policy are as controllable as a sneeze.

He is simultaneously, paradoxically, so easily figured out - so scutable - while being so erratic that he is a cipher.

No, there is no plan for Iran. No, there is no plan for tariffs. No, there is no plan for ICE.

It is not Stephen Miller or Susie Wiles, it is whoever is last in the room. The villainy and degeneracy belongs on Trump's shoulders, though they are unable to bear the gravity of it.

We, however, the temporary moral minority, will eventually make the enablers pay even if their emperor never gets justice.
