Weeks after the House GOP leader stated that Trump bore some responsibility for the events of Jan. He had Kevin McCarthy kiss his ring and made sure people knew it. ![]() He remained for Republican donors a fundraising colossus. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), the most prominent and most vocal of the 10 House Republicans who had voted for his impeachment. He commissioned through his newly created Save America PAC a poll to gauge the extent of the backlash at home against Rep. He endorsed in her bid for governor of Arkansas Sarah Huckabee Sanders, one of his White House press secretaries, “a warrior who will always fight … and do what is right, not what is politically correct.” 6. “.A warrior who will always fight … and do what is right, not what is politically correct.” He then, though, on his first post-White House weekend, turned one threat into another, having a top political aide talk privately to Republican senators to make sure they knew the defeated and disgraced former president was not going to start a third party but also was not going to step back, was not going to fade away - that he was in fact intent on continuing to be a heavy and consistent presence in the GOP, and that they, in other words, should take that into account when weighing whether to convict or acquit in his upcoming impeachment trial. It was the first of an ongoing litany of Trump’s endorsements as a former president - fueled by his monomaniacal insistence that he won an election that he lost, fixated on the five most important states that he lost that made him lose, furious at anybody who didn’t subvert democracy by overturning those results. He backed for state Republican chair in Arizona loyalist Kelli Ward, who had campaigned on Trump’s lies of a “stolen” election. He let linger in the air an angry threat to start a third party. “In the last hundred years,” said Mark Updegrove, a presidential historian whose books include one specifically on former presidents called Second Acts, “there is nobody more politically consequential as a former president than Donald Trump.” JANUARY 1.įor a few days after he left Washington he said nothing. ![]() That was the strategy in 2016 and it worked.” “Trump,” she said, “is a genius at making everything about him. “Even Andrew Jackson in 1825, when he lost under shady circumstances in the House, did not pretend he was actually president,” Jen Mercieca, a professor of political rhetoric and the author of a book about “the rhetorical genius” of Trump, told me. And yet there remains a sense that it is not the current but the former (and the next?) occupant of the Oval Office who is somehow the one who is imposing his will, still, on the body politic and the national discourse. Biden, the man who beat him, has ushered through Congress trillions of dollars of legislation, and might manage to persuade lawmakers to spend trillions more, no small record of accomplishment in spite of setbacks and stalemates in a historically challenging time. To reengage with the reams of news coverage of Trump from the course of the last 12 months, to read and reread his statements in chronological order, is to get a visceral, dizzying reminder of the persistence, of the manic relentlessness with which he has done this and is doing it. Trump, so unabashedly unlike any other former president, simply has refused to let people not have to think about him, and what he’s doing, and what he’s saying, and what it might mean. He hasn’t written a standard memoir, but he has spent nearly every day rewriting the history of his administration, perpetuating the destabilizing fiction that he won when he lost and pile-driving a path through this year’s midterms to the possibility of a comeback run in 2024. He reasserted a constrictor’s grip on the GOP - literally attempting to engineer the face of the party by publicly picking candidates in scores of races, from swing-state senators to state ag commissioners, a New York borough president, a smaller-city mayor and a county judge. Hardening the divide in the country between those who are for him and those who are not, he demanded fealty and vowed revenge, raised and hoarded money, targeted people who want to hold him to account and touted those who don’t or won’t. A video of President Trump plays during the rally outside the White House that preceded the insurrection at the Capitol Building on Jan.

![]() Think of panzanella in layers: a base of restrained umami savouriness (anchovies, garlic, bread), a mid-level explosion of fruity, sun-kissed flavours, and playing around that, various zesty top notes of acidic perkiness. Roasted peppers, firm, de-seeded cucumber, brined olives and fresh basil are desirable. Red onion, tomatoes, garlic, capers and anchovies are essential. Red onion, tomatoes and garlic are essential, plus capers and anchovies. No one should lose a tooth over panzanella. * Particularly when using crust-on sourdough, if you do not do let the salad sit for a while, some pieces will maintain a titanium-hard edge. Plain sourdough (nothing overtly flavoured) or a heavyweight ciabatta will do the trick. Instead, panzanella requires something posh and dense, rustic and well built: the bread version of a rugby union back line. ![]() The average sliced white loaf would readily disintegrate into gummy scum. The bread you use must be able to withstand moisture and jostling. ![]() Do you want to eat tomato-free panzanella? Of course not. But do bear in mind panzanella was once an onion and bread salad, to which tomatoes were only regularly added as late as the 20th century. What made sense in 17th-century Florence can in 2021 (may HTE refer you to Saint Yotam of Ottolenghi?), only create pockets of wobbly, waterlogged mulch in your salad. Such advice harks back to a time when people used very old, leathery bread, had no access to an oven and limited expectation of experiencing any pleasure before death. This directly contradicts the many recipes which, obedient to panzanella’s peasant origins, unappetisingly recommend wetting untoasted pieces of stale bread with water, vinegar or vinaigrette and, after wringing them out, adding them to the salad. Baking gives stale bread a second lease of freshness which can only improve your panzanella. Interestingly, heat briefly reverses the retrogradation (starches reassembling into a crystalline structure), that makes stale bread tough. To achieve this, you essentially want to make XL croutons, bite-size morsels of bread (oiled, salted, possibly herbed and garlic-licked), that, after 20 minutes in the oven, take on a bronze, baked firmness. That will ensure it is robust enough to absorb the salad’s juices and retain its structural integrity, but – as the salad is allowed to sit for a few minutes before serving* – in unpredictable ways that produce a variety of textures in the bread chunks: from sodden but still pleasantly chewy pieces to lightly doused shards which, at their edges, shatter with a satisfying crunch. No, rather than stale, the bread must be toasted and dried. Who wants to be restricted to eating panzanella only when you have stale bread to use? It is far too good for that. But unless going down the molto autentico route (addressed below), it doesn’t have to be. Are you sitting down for this bombshell? The bread doesn’t need to be stale.

Moynihan uses her dino telepathy on the puppy mutants to have them run up and start licking the goon (so why couldn’t the kids call her with their own dino telepathy to report it was an ambush?). It’s just with how they’re supposed to be trying to keep a low profile, yet drive all those dinosaur-faced vehicles and do nothing to hide who they are… And I think I brought this up before, but when they call Moynihan on their walkie talkies she goes by the handle “Mothersaurus.” I’m not sure I want to know why they call her “mother,” but why the “saurus”? If Veloci intercepts their transmissions he’s going to know they’re those dinosaurs that keep getting in his way, and quite possibly the other raptor who spent the millennia in the same cave as him. Let’s ignore why these puppies are at a dog show, and just say way to contain the threat you dipshits. Which immediately scamper out without the kids doing a thing to stop them. Doesn’t that sort of defeat the purpose of having two lookouts?), the others go inside and track the signal to a box. While Moynihan and Caruso stand watch outside (with both of them in the same place. Why? Remember that time where they took motorcycles to a place over 400 miles away and got there within like an hour? Why bother setting the episodes in real locations if you’re not going to address the distances? And then turn around and address the distances?

The group actually takes a sea plane to New Hampshire where they leave it with one of Moynihan’s many friends (do these people know she’s actually an immortal velociraptor?). Why? What about that time where Max and Caruso had to fight like 20 giant chickens? What makes this different? She even says the signals are weak, meaning the animals have been contaminated but haven’t actually mutated yet. Moynihan thinks this one might be difficult, and decides she’s coming too this time. Because it’s not like gravity was always there anyway.įortunately we’re spared more of this drivel when the mutant alarm goes off, picking up multiple contacts in Manchster, NH (which is only 46 miles away this time).

Although it would’ve been handy that time I fell through a wormhole and landed in an Asterix the Gaul comic.Īnyway, checking in on Dr. I went to a high school where you had to take a certain amount of foreign language classes, and you could satisfy that requirement by taking Latin. That’s nothing compared to high school, though, because at least people still speak Spanish and French. I’ve hardly used algebra or any of the foreign language stuff those two fat bitches in middle school tried to make me learn. Or maybe it just is the knowledge setting in that most of the things they’re learning in school are pointless for most people. I notice nobody mentions social lives, because that would imply they had friends outside this little group the like of which doesn’t exist without the aid of central casting. Midterms, extracurricular activities, family obligations, and saving the world from a “super” villain who wouldn’t make the cut for the Legion of Doom. ![]() Moynihan tries to rationalize the frustration from their studies as being part of all their obligations. Besides, does their equipment actually serve any purpose besides fighting tank-sized mutants? I paid more attention in my literature classes because that’s what I do for fun. Rodger credits all the fancy-shmancy gadgets he’s invented to all he’s learned in science and math, and that’s great, but he probably excels in science and math because he likes science and math so much they’re what he does for fun, too. Moynihan tries to sympathize with him, saying it seems like some things you learn in school are irrelevant, but a well-rounded education is the key to succeeding later in life. |
