It is stupid and bad that a barely literate failed teacher who did nothing of value in of itself was a broker for the UAE, Israel, Russia, half of the US media elite, a quarter of Europe, a random selection of Southeast Asia, and a key node in finance and intelligence.

The Epstein story is still absurd and bad and indicative of a lot of things wrong even if you were to remove every single accusation or evidence thereof of child abuse. The fact that he came out of nowhere and seemingly every elite on the planet was connected to him is bad.

The very well-accepted term for "stripping the legal protections of a minority group and then sending a paramilitary force to carry them away" is "ethnic cleansing."

A corollary to this is that there's probably efficacy in Dem candidates being more combative towards the voters they're courting: "I don't like you & you don't like me, but even you can't be so stupid as to let the fascist win. I may a be a son-of-a-bitch, but there are worse things than SOBs!"
The best way to farm clout as a leftist is to pull a Hasan and say Dems suck. The best way to farm clout as a centrist is to pull a Bari and say Dems suck.

"Idiocracy" is a deeply reactionary film that equates poverty with stupidity, so I guess it makes sense, as per the logic of every conservative accusation being a confession, that this most reactionary of administrations is trying to bring it to life

Real talk, if Thomas Paine were alive today he'd currently be in prison for sending "The Case for Bombing Their Homes" to his 500,000 Substack readers and then minutes after hitting the publish button attempting to purchase 57 tons of fertilizer
I think that overall substack has been a net negative for the American experiment, which is very funny because Thomas Paine would have loved substack

Honestly, I think Obama might be a top five president in hindsight simply because it turned out this country was a shithole powderkeg and he managed to ride the tiger for eight years somehow. Last Roman type of thing.
I think Obama was vindicated in the long run because the ACA endured against all odds while Bidenomics was rejected in favor of fascism by the electorate.

in terms of passing policies that improve peoples lives particularly at the bottom of the SES ladder, Joe Biden was the best president of my lifetime

People are reading this way wrong. Schumer detached DHS from the other five bills in return for a two week CR on the DHS bill. Now Democrats can make demands on DHS spending without having to shut down agencies covered in the other five bills. They have way more leverage to get real concessions.
