The damage done by treating Trump's victory as some sweeping mandate in the first eight months of his term really was massive, but ending that collective delusion - i think with the help of last week's elections - really is having profound impacts.

just remembered that Orthobros think Catholics/what they imagine to be "Thomists" believe in something called "absolute divine simplicity", which makes the Trinity illegal, think I'm going to be sick

I simply do not understand why being ‘devoted’ to any foreign state is either desirable or necessary for a politician of a different state, let alone a prerequisite for belonging to a particular political party within that state.
"Being devoted to Israel is becoming increasingly incompatible with being a proud Democrat.”

Prothonotary?
I think they invented that, installed a GOPer in it, and then voted him out for sport.
Prothonotary sounds like a mid-level Vatican office held over from some 8th century schism.
But it got flipped in Bucks County!

Psalm 73:1-10
[1] Truly God is good to Israel,
to those who are pure in heart.
[2] But as for me, my feet had almost stumbled,
my steps had nearly slipped.
[3] For I was envious of the arrogant
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

There is a fourth possibility: that elves, being creatures of magic, coevolved with a commensal organism—the elven tooth fairy—which collects the shed teeth of human infants and implants them in the jaws of elves, where they take root and grow larger.

Wild that the opposition party is running against the guy who has a strangle-hold on the ruling party.
Would they rather the Dems ran against Wendell Wilkie?
“Strangely, Dems target correct political target” is just a bizarro headline.

Lead front-page story in today's NYT
Time-travel dept:
-I don't remember front-page NYT stories "It's 1993, and GOP Is Still Running Against Clinton." That's what they did, for huge mid-term win.
-Nor "It's 2009, and GOP Is Still Running Against Obama." Which they did, for huge win.
Weird.
