Fred Kaplan notes that Trump is stuck with Obama's Iran deal because it's working fine. But it is Obama's deal so that means Trump has to sabotage it even though he has nothing to put in its place. This is the same strategy that's being applied to this nation's Health Care.
One of the few issues on which most Liberals and Conservatives agree is that Civil Assets Forfeiture is a ghastly abuse of governmental power. Basically, it's the power wielded by some agencies to seize and sell your belongings if they accuse you of a crime, regardless of whether they later drop the charges or you're proven innocent. No one approves of this except the Trump Administration, which is promising to undo all restrictions on this insidious practice. Conor Friedersdorf will tell you all about it. He says Jeff Sessions' plan to increase Civil Assets Forfeiture may succeed because "…in the era of Donald Trump, a faction on the right seems to hate whatever liberals favor more than they like liberty, and another faction seems willing to defend whatever the Trump Administration does so long as the press is criticizing it."
Steve Benen notes that Trump keeps changing his position on how he feels about the Health Care bill that informally bears his name. Only Donald Trump can manage to be on both sides of an issue and be wrong both times.
And Ezra Klein says this is because Trump doesn't understand what's in the bill or how anything in there might affect American lives. I think that's right. All he knows (or even tries to know) is what he can try and sell to his base.
One nice thing about Comic-Con: It'll keep me too busy to follow a lot of this kind of thing.
