Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
On the second of this week’s podcasts, John Podhoretz gets into it with Noah Rothman on whether the president’s behavior toward his attorney general and the new White House communications director’s conduct toward the White House chief of staff constitute a “plan” of action or whether we are just living through nihilistic chaos. Where does Abe Greenwald come out? You’ll have to give a listen.

“It’s not an orgy…it’s a toga party.”
How about this:
In Trump’s mind, he’s playing three-dimensional chess.
In reality, he’s playing tic-tac-toe against himself and losing.
Why cant it be both. He’s the man with the plan – but lacks the self-discipline to implement it.
On the one hand, he’s giving the house all the air cover in the world – the 5 seconds he spends on his morning tweet storm will keep the media occupied for days – how can they report on a house resolution when Trump is tweeting?
They should utilize the media vacuum and plow forward with an agenda.
