It’s as if a hostile foreign power has seized the US government and is by remote control steering it toward the maximum possible catastrophe


...not a Frum fan, not even a rehabilitated Frum, but he's right on here and it's significant, considering the source.

1. I hope not but so many people are thinking it

In any case, any big catastrophe would be handled horribly that's for sure... we have a bunch of fuck-ups at the helm.

4. the mismanagement and disarray in this WH that's been described

...is stunning.

I can easily imagine them doing everything wrong in any major crisis. Moreover, most ties with folks in government who would fill in the gaps in knowledge and experience are being deliberately and callously severed at almost every opportunity.

2. I think Frum is right on the money with this fiasco.

Maybe his mother Barbara (who was a top-notch social-justice warrior up here) will forgive him from her grave. He's trying, I'll give him that.

I share his sense of ominous possibility. And it's not "as if a hostile foreign power has seized the US government". That is precisely what has happened.

3. It's very telling when people like

Frum and Charles Krauthammer are bashing the actions of this administration.
