They Way They Were . . . . 0

At Above the Law, Mark Hermann remembers the past. Here’s one of his misty water-colored memories:

Once upon a time — I’m thinking about during the Clinton administration — Republicans devoutly believed that the character of a president mattered. We had to impeach Clinton; no person of bad character belonged in the White House.

Trade Deficient 0

The Trump maladministration is trying to get foreign countries to comply with its anti-DEI (that is, racist and bigoted) “policies.” Here’s a bit from the report at Mediaite:

Specifically, U.S. embassy officials in Stockholm gave the city’s planning office 10 days to sign an agreement stating that Swedish officials would comply with U.S. anti-discrimination laws and eschew DEI policies that run afoul of them. The agreement would apply to contractors that do work for the U.S. embassy.
