I mean obviously Rudy was scamming him with what turned out to be like the worst legal advice ever given so...

Forming? Worry? Lol

Ugh

I'm saying "joining a mob to break some shit and maybe loot" and "joining a mob to murder specific people" are fundamentally not the same thing in any sense. And, if you're part of a mob chanting "kill Mike Pence" while in the next room from Mike Pence, and you then subsequently tell me "I didn't a...

I wished on the monkey paw for a return to the original blogosphere without realizing what I'd get would be tens of millions of Bush bloggers screeching about aid and comfort to the enemy, begging for a second Patriot Act.

I can''t see the first tweet you posted, Nicole, and I share Shem's bafflement regarding what point you intended to make with your second. (Remember, especially regarding this particular thread topic, I have NEVER taken the attitude "Dems are awesome and wonderful," but "For all the many problems w...

For reals. Authoritarianism is America's core competency. If they can't secure their own house then what is the government even good for?

Skimming from my paycheck?

I could have thought it was reasonable that people didn't know there was a huge outbreak across the country in February. Not sure what country you're reporting from, but here in the United States there were 100 confirmed cases in seven states on March 2nd . Yes, because people weren’t being tested....

Addendum by Jacob Siegel, one of my favorite people writing about 2020. I was going to quote but just wanted to quote it all: https://unherd.com/2020/12/why-americas ... n-winning/

If you had told me a year ago that I would now be about a million times more cynical and blackpilled, I would have said that was impossible, yet here we are. The pandemic seems to have been almost a perfect demonstration that ideas like justice and desert were evolved so humans could pointlessly tor...
