That we even have to do that means the Dems are on life support. They will not defend us or the Constitution. And it’s been that way for decades.

The Democratic Party has no good options because they opted to give the public no good options. This is a disaster of their own making and no one has a magic fix for the catastrophe they’ve created. That Trump could be so well positioned is an unthinkable failure of politics.

The president who was willing to use the military to oppose and vanquish a seditious faction that was waging war against the United States is now considered our greatest president it occurs to me for no particular reason.

Things are going very well when we've reached the "Don't worry, the military won't obey orders to kill civilians" stage of democratic backsliding. It's the sweet spot, where good things happen. Right where we want to be.

It’s not that they don’t, it’s that none of the Democrats are able to deal with a fascistic insurgency in any way whatsoever. But they’ve always been like this, and it’s time for a change.

Reminder that there are five ways to address the current SCOTUS problem. 1. Impeach some justices 2. Impose term limits 3. Expand the courts 4. Pass legislation limiting court prerogatives 5. Keep winning the presidency for the next 16 years or so while periodically also holding the senate.

We got tricked by science fiction into thinking a futuristic city is all about flying cars and crystal towers and hologram billboards but what it really looks like is nice apartment blocks, good mass transit, pedestrian zones with shade trees and safe bike lanes.

to add a little more here, it is not that economic anxiety is fake, it is that it cannot be neatly disentangled from racial anxieties. for instance, if you are doing well but see black people doing better, you may feel anxious on account of your internalized idea of what the racial order should be.

Israel invaded Lebanon in 1978. Carter describes what happened next in "The Blood of Abraham": The US notified Israeli Prime Minister Begin we were going to cut off all military aid to Israel & present a resolution condemning it at the UN. Begin immediately said: "It's over."

Played an intro game of Wehrle’s ARCS & it’s fine, but it’s not a system I’m going 2 b playing repeatedly. With Oath and ARCS he’s started a design process I’m not fond of which is “you have to play it this way…Basic, Upgraded, Campaign.” The problem is that Basic never entices me. #boardgamegeek

If opposition to a 400K-man deportation force to expel 12 million people, causing a massive humanitarian crisis, shredding families, spiking inflation, and sending the economy spiraling into depression is "leftism" ...
