One failed attempt at a shoe bomb and we all take our shoes off at the airport. One failed attempt at overthrowing our country and we still allow the guy who orchestrated it to run for President so he can do it again. Why aren’t we protecting America from right-wing terrorism?

Wait, where do you mention that Biden is too old in this story??! I mean he achieved what everybody thought impossible with a soft landing of the economy, that must mean he is too old to lead the country and Trump the pedophile felon should be elected instead, right?! 🙄

So trying to convince the VP to do something that's not an official duty (refusing to certify) is ok, according to the Robertspierre* court.

It seems like a hallucination as a serious argument, but maybe more understandable as a rationalization that just needs to look like a serious argument. A rationalization you can cite with all the correct notation

I've had that happen too. Not in the medical field but here's my guess. It's either a virus percolating or some food that had gone bad, so the stomach just stops digesting. Eventually the stomach gives up and rejects it all. Very quickly.

A few years ago, Jon Lovett floated a theory that media treats Democrats like protagonists - to be challenged, accounted, and forced to be behave in growth-oriented ways - while the GOP are treated like antagonists - immutable, expected to disrupt, thematic obstacles. Thinking about that a lot.

Oh and the "historical context of our country" is that the Founding Fathers knew from hard personal experience that the mixing of religion and government had caused centuries of war and chaos across Europe, so when they set up a new country here THEY VERY EXPLICITLY DID NOT DO THAT.

The tweet description of the cop is wild. He's "unmasked as rookie." As if that was a hidden secret. As if it was a bad thing. Every cop was a rookie in the beginning. And good for him for actually enforcing laws! The gall of people with hurt feelings to defend an alleged drunk driver. WTF?

The inside of this daily mail story has some amazing beats, including a childhood photo of the cop scraped from facebook and the reporter apparently doorstepping his parents.

Feeling very weird and uneasy today. Karl Rove said something I agree with, J6 rioters are thugs and criminals. Not sure how this happened but let's assume he actually has a tiny spec of morality that survived the Bush years.
