I was glad to see Tucker going after neocons with both gun barrels in front of a Fox audience. The conservative religious impulse (thinking of his first guest) hesitates to commit wanton violence out of reflex.

When your Secretary of State is a certified warmonger (that role is for a diplomat, by definition), and when your Secretary of Defense is merely “acting”, it’s clear you’re dealing with a pale ghost of an administration, hanging on as a made-for-TV phenomenon.

Trump is used to living that way (have Twitter will govern). For the rest of DC, it’s a roller coaster. The world’s job is to ignore it more and more, until it maybe cures itself of that tapeworm.
