Thank you for another insightful essay.

My take is that we are discussing how to dance while our toes are rotting. I appreciate the discussion because the topic is interesting (to me) and there might be a time when "higher" questions might be relevant.

Today, that is not the case. This is simple lawlessness, from the pathological dishonesty of the media to the corrupt behavior of members of the Hydra-like establishment we call the state. When a crime is committed, the police is called in. Not a debate club. The police.

In short, there is no other way out but for the institutions of law and order to reassert themselves. These fine discussions are inconsequential to, for example, every staffer today in the White House, CNN, the NYT, etc. They will lie as they have done repeatedly until they are shown a bench in a courthouse.
