Fun fact: this dude endorsed my opponent saying that we needed a "normal person" in office knowing virtually nothing about me except the fact that I have a funny name so uh take this as you will.

Yep. iden's inability to step away from his bipartisan fantasy that things would return to the 1980s or 1990s has been a huge problem for him throughout, and he hasn't met the moment on the threats posed by Trump and the courts. Doesn't have a goddamn thing to do with cognitive decline.

It's as if our press just can't process a threat as grave as Trump. They no longer have the skills or backing from their top editors to grapple with such a grand-scale horror as the death of our democracy. So they've shrunk the issues down to a size they feel comfortable with: Shaming an old man.

If Biden can't campaign he should consider passing the torch, but the elite press (and especially the NYT) is desperately trying to will this into existence. And it's really gross. (2/2)

Nobody loves that Joe Biden is 81. It would be great if he was 35. But you know what I really dislike? Authoritarianism. So I humbly beseech people to get a goddamn grip.

Just your occasional rage-inducing reminder that at least one of these last three judges is, by any definition of the word, illegitimate. The first vacancy was created while Obama was still in office; the third was created while Trump was FAR closer to an election that Obama was. Never forget!

So if Joe Biden declared today that November’s election is canceled and ordered the military to keep him in power, would that be an “official act”?

Excluding actual wars, Brexit is one of the greatest own-goals of all time. Britain and Europe had forged something their finest leaders and intellectuals considered an impossible dream: an alliance of shared prosperity. Then Britain tore it up in a fit of nativist dipshittery.

Extremely pointed subtweet: What's good for the country and what's good for the most well-compensated people in journalism is a gulf so wide you can't even see the other side. Punditry has absolutely no social value at all and we would all be happier if we ignored them completely
