The man is GREAT at consolidating power. Just pretty bad at actually using power.

"Date would be right after the 20th party congress in October. The fact that Xi is inviting European leaders to China in November indirectly confirms that he will get a third term as president.. would coincide with the G20 leaders’ summit in Bali"

New SF DA just fired staff responsible for the prosecution of cops, the resentencing of people found to be innocent & data transparency. None of these decisions will increase public safety. They'll just increase the number of people caged in jail & prison
