that's not how the mob works. the boss wishes he wasn't in trouble, and the lieutenants carry out plans with no knowledge going to the boss. this is on barr, and not out of character i think.

this is the AG who has his nose so far up trump's behind he hasn't seen daylight in years. i'm thinking this is being done to impress the maga death cult.

He's right. They're stealing the country from us and ending democracy. "Bloodless if the left allows it to be" is a threat to kill anyone who fights back

squashing the latest data in to the top right, yeah, it was a choice wasn't it? no way that trend line stays on that inclination, it should flatten.

it's herding cats-level and a weak party leadership which is not anything new, both parties are weak. i think it's healthy and should be encouraged, up to comments about ditching nominees. that should be vigorously opposed by leadership publicly. not much you can do about reactionary op-eds.

gee steve, there are actually consequences for your actions? i'm sure you're not used to that. i'm also sure you'll find plenty of maga inside to keep you company, you can make believe you're doing a podcast for them.

the way to win is make trump angry, and watch the top of his head blow off from the blood pressure.

this is more of an economic question than a political question. why did small factories and people leave small towns? because it was generally cheaper to ship production elsewhere. that decision was made by US CEOs, not politicians. no jobs means no people.

this is of the utmost importance, no lie. remember all the crazy things you have heard from republicans the last 8 years and realized they were serious. please watch this and then vote. biden may not be everyone's cup of tea, but is far better than a fascist state run by the worst people imaginable.

My book, VERY FINE PEOPLE, releases on Tuesday, and yesterday I got to spend some very enjoyable hours at my local book dealer, signing copies. Some Revisionaries fans asked me to draw cartoon cats. One person asked me to draw a pterodactyl.

won't this end up in the 5th circuit, or will state courts handle it? either way, i don't think it will be struck down very soon.

this is a hopelessly tangled thread you're pulling at, there are no easy answers. when does the campaign to make palestinians leave because the jews had a kingdom there 3000 years ago begin? or make whites leave america? what's the time limit for grievance? is migration good or bad?

right-wing media types and "influencers" have hundreds of thousands of mostly republican voter's deaths on their hands, and they don't seem to care. i'm looking at you joe rogan and the kooks you platformed.
