What the hell happened in politics this week? Esquire's legendary blogger Charlie P. Pierce has answers

Matt F*cking Gaetz???

These two bedraggled grotesques of public service dropped Tuesday evening when we were all still digesting the idea of a Fox News weekend host with white-nationalist body art as secretary of defense. But these two are so far off the chain they are no longer visible to the naked eye. Gaetz's nomination to be attorney f*cking general (!) can reasonably be seen as a tactic to monkey-wrench a scathing House Ethics Committee report detailing Gaetz's frolicking with Florida prom queens.

The Trump Regime Has Horrifying Plans for Family Detention Centers

Was America Ever All That Great?

I don't want to alarm anyone unnecessarily—as though any alarm were unnecessary anymore—but the last time we did this, the last time we elected a president whom we'd rejected four years earlier, things didn't turn out so well. It was in 1892, and former president Grover Cleveland had been nominated by the Democratic party to face incumbent Republican president Benjamin Harrison, who'd beaten Cleveland four years earlier. The primary economic-policy issue in that race involved tariffs, the primary economic-policy issue in every presidential contest since the dawn of the republic.
