Peter Burgess COMMENTARY
The writing continues and in fact, accelerates.
And the reading continues as well
But little of this is combined with any sort of effective action.
Trump, Musk and the other MAGA actors essentially are able to do what they want, when they want and where they want with just minimal push-back.
This should not be possible
None of the 'rules' seem to be applicable to these two horrible individuals and their followers!
