Michael Cohen - Policy By Panic

Look, I get it. Yesterday was Thanksgiving. We all did our patriotic duty: we overate, we argued, we pretended the canned cranberry sauce was “actually pretty good this year,” and we collapsed into that glorious L-Tryptophan-induced coma that makes you forget your in-laws are still in the living room. Thanksgiving is the one day Americans unite around the belief that nothing bad can happen while we’re unconscious on the couch with football humming in the background.

But today?
Today we wake up.
Today we shake off the gravy fog.
Today we open the fridge, reach for a container half-filled with stuffing — assuming Uncle Bryan didn’t annihilate it at 1 a.m. — and we return to reality.

And reality, my friends, is a cold leftover that no amount of reheating can make palatable.

Because while you and I were lying flat on our backs, recovering from what can only be described as poultry-induced paralysis, the administration — speed-running its pledge to turn America into a white, Christian nationalist diorama — was wide awake.
