Не прокатило
хорошая новость - хунвэйбинство не прошло, "Supreme Court наш". не очень хорошая - пока это выглядит скорее как удача и личное достижение не убоявшихся стать против оголтелой сволочи.
к сожалению, искусство политической речи в русском языке по-видимому утрачено, потому что даже я не смог сказать лучше чем вот это:
For the first time since Donald Trump entered the political fray, I find myself grateful that he’s in it. I’m reluctant to admit it and astonished to say it, especially since the president mocked Christine Blasey Ford in his ugly and gratuitous way at a rally on Tuesday. Perhaps it’s worth unpacking this admission for those who might be equally astonished to read it.
I’m grateful because Trump has not backed down in the face of the slipperiness, hypocrisy and dangerous standard-setting deployed by opponents of Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court. I’m grateful because ferocious and even crass obstinacy has its uses in life, and never more so than in the face of sly moral bullying. I’m grateful because he’s a big fat hammer fending off a razor-sharp dagger.
