David Waldman delivers another dispatch from and for the reality-based community. 2026 and still no video on this cast, because we know what you would do with it.

Speaking of reality-based, we are back around to another anniversary of January 6. Keep it in mind, tightly, because they will always try to take that memory away.

It was only a matter of time before Stephen Miller expanded his master race weltanschauung to other countries. The US may take whatever it wants because it can take whatever it wants, and no country can stop us! Not historically a well-received move, but it might work for us!

The "Donald K. Trump coup d'état-of-the-week plan" isn't exactly "regime change". The intent isn't to create puppet governments, but zombie governments that can be pointed in the right direction with a torch every once in a while. Trump is doing this for two reasons. One, because he can. Two, because you can't stop him. Illegality is the point for Trump and MAGA. Megyn Kelly used to be all for that sort of thing, but now she has 16- and 14-year-old boys… well, you know the story.

And then there is money. A zombie state would be great to experiment on, implant an economy, see how it goes. Betting markets can wager on how long it will survive. If the zombie survives, you have a slave, if not, you feed it to the other zombies.
