It's been my expressed view since 2016 that debating Trump is a category mistake. It treats him like a legitimate candidate whose words bear some relationship to his actual views and to empirical reality, and that's too much to concede to him. It gives away the game before the first pitch.

The thing that also fucking sucks is Biden is a bit stronger now and Trump is not only lying nonstop but speaking even more incoherently than Biden now but my guess is most outlets will have written their headlines at 9:02pm. This is just a fucking nightmare for everyone but Trump's media team.

this idea that the bible was a significant influence on the constitution is obviously widespread but i've always been struck by insane it is. not that evidence matters to these people but if there's anything we know for certain about the 1787 convention it's that the bible had nothing to do with it.

“Non-lethal” rubber bullet blinds a journalist in one eye, leads to blindness in the second, and causes dementia and now fatal traumatic brain injury. To be clear: a rubber bullet fired AT her HEAD, while she was flashing journalist credentials and not close to protestors or police. Fatally shot.
