Then again, was he ever? Some would say he’s always been a complete figurehead, right from the start. But I’ve never felt that he was entirely out of the decision-making loop, especially early in his presidency. That’s not to say … Continue reading →
[NOTE: I called this “Part I” because I have so many thoughts on the subject that I plan a multi-parter. The title is a riff on this book.] In some ways, the Kamala Harris campaign may have been brilliant so … Continue reading →
