So, while I think this article declares victory a bit too soon, I think we also need the occasional optimistic view that we may actually get through this administration.

@corbet @pluralistic the main question I have is whether this administration will end at the end of the term. If so, we'll probably be ok.

@corbet @pluralistic I agree that this declares victory too soon, but it still constitutes more good signs than I'd heard about.

I do figure that Musk's presence will insulate Trump from at least one wave of consequences; I agree with my roommate that Musk is being set up as a fall guy.
