Man, man, your time is sand....

I'm old enough to remember when Trump was going to win on the census because Roberts left a back door in his opinion big enough to drive a truck through and so-called deadlines (on which the government rested its entire effort and most of its argument) were meaningless and it was only a matter of going back to the Supremes and surely the government could do that in August if not September upon which they would win this time because nothing matters and Trump has destroyed all functions of government.

Anyway, now what is important is what AOC's COS said on Twitter and the public airing of petty grievances of young people who think social media is actually power (making the Kardashians the unacknowledged legislators of the world).

It's a Trumpian distortion that celebrity (in any form) is a concomitant of real power; or responsibility.  (Beto O'Rourke rose to fame by his personal appearances all across Texas, not by his Twitter followers. And where has that celebrity gotten him? Just sayin'....)

Anyway, just bear in mind that what people are certain is coming is seldom what comes. Surely the election of Trump taught us that much. Surely.
