In the run-up to the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Donald Trump is doing interviews with conservative media - in this case, Hugh Hewitt - suggesting Osama Bin Laden wasn't that big of a deal and wasn't a "monster." pic.twitter.com/3xJXVn2AIM— Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) August 26, 2021

It probably helps his case somewhat that he's actually still the president and will be returning to the WH any day now.

But his sense of time was a bit subpar. His bandmates would secretly refer to him as "Osama's Been Laggin'."

yeah. it reminds me of madison cawthorn, who got rid of whatever "policy" employees he had early on in DC and instead set up a "communications team". i won't doomandgloom the entire northern/western hemisphere just yet, but it all points toward a future where political office and/or punditry is like constructing a hollywood set and constructing nothing but an image, leaving all substance behind for good.
easy to say it's already like that, but there are always many degrees of this shit. reagan was a pioneer

my sincerest negative take on people nowadays is to say “that is not a serious person.”
“not serious” is some kind of amalgamation or conflation of in bad faith, moronic, self-dealing, cruel, damaged, and like, actively traumatized.
