Dear people in my mentions. Parties around the world do not use primaries to select their candidates. There is nothing undemocratic about a party doing it. Yours truly, A comparative political parties scholar.

Quotable Quote: "Now social media has helped normalize anonymous aggressive posts and memes, leading some children to weaponize them against adults." Thank goodness social media didn't come along until I was 40.

"In 2010, when he was 75, Mr. Inhofe landed his Cessna on a closed South Texas airport runway, scattering workers who ran for their lives. No one was hurt, but [Inhofe was] reported...to the FAA, and was ordered to take four hours of remedial flying instruction in lieu of punishment." The arrogance!

The one constant in my conversations about ā€œProject 2025ā€ is that almost everyone is taken aback by whatā€™s in these plans, even people who really pay attention to politics - if not by how radical it is, then by how far-reaching, detailed, and aggressively explicit it is.

How good can a day be when you have to begin it quoting Peter Lorre in The Maltese Falcon? "I think I must have expressed myself badly." Translation: You are not listening to what I'm saying.

This isn't a debate. It's a firehose of lies from DJT, with the moderators saying nothing about any of them. The American public deserves better.

The movie led me to the novel. The ending of the novel is terrifying -- Phyllis's physical manifestation of her darkest evil -- but the ending of the movie between Walter and Keyes is one of the most touching expressions of friendship ever.
