Thanks, I hope so too! I just asked another Shrapnel writer how long he waited, and it was over two years... So we may have a lot longer to wait!

@swankmotron.com For your Battletech story submittals to Shrapnel, how long did it take for them to get back to you after you submitted? My story is #1 on the Moksha queue (and has been for a couple of months), now 285 days since submittal, and I'm trying to figure out if this is a good or bad sign.

I've been #1 on the Shrapnel Moksha queue for at least two months now... Can't figure out if this is a good or bad sign!

Damaging Trump and the Republicans, and reducing their popularity, surely helps Democrats win tough seats (all else being equal), right? If so, then if this does that damage, and the data appears to show that it does, then it can help win those seats. As Josh Marshall says, all power is unitary.

Isn't the debate "should Democrats strongly attack the Trump administration's violations of due process and the law on immigration"? AFAICT, you've generally said "no", and Morris suggests the data indicates "yes".

Who says failsons are a US-only phenomenon?

That was my interpretation -- that the "he" is MBS and Vindman is implying that MBS made some admission in the call.

It's not issues, it's personalities. Issues are mostly baked into the views on the parties by the time campaigning starts. Democrats need a skilled and charismatic messenger, and if they find one they'll probably win, regardless of the issues.

But is the Holocaust the only type of genocide? Are you arguing that starving millions to death wouldn't be genocide if there's no explicit intent, but rather just a combination of inertia, incompetence, and vague, unstated malevolence?

A copy of this landed in my lap, and I gotta say it made me laugh a few times. I'm no culture critic, but I think it's interesting to see how various indie art forms are responding to the current political moment.

Okay. That makes sense for then, but not now, and Josh is more than smart enough to realize this.
Not the end of the world - I still think Josh is great and I'm proud to be a long time TPM subscriber. But I'm still curious what he's thinking.

In other words, until you clearly explain your thinking about the g word, lots and lots of your fans are going to be very curious about your thinking on it.
