Hey did I mention my theory that MAGA is not a 'movement' but the elevation of a specific American subculture that collects wealth almost entirely through swindles and confidence games.

I have to stop calling everybody I've ever met to pick up my sons. Fatherhood doesn't stop on "announcement day."
We could never afford to send both to daycare. One stayed home until the other went to TK at a public school. It should be easier for families than this. Let's fight for it.

The only law rich people recognize is "I should be able to do anything I want, and that includes killing you if I find you suspicious or I think it would be funny." This is why, throughout history, all societies at some point just give up and behead them.

If Trump does go through with his threatened invasion of Venezuela without Congressional approval, that should absolutely be grounds for immediate impeachment proceedings.
We would need mass, popular mobilization calling for his removal from office. It has to be a red line.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms.

Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

They’ve been enabled all their lives which is why they felt entitled enough to pull of J6. The pardon has emboldened them in those thoughts.
Lol it’s not soft on crime so much as it is enabling. January 6ers think a pardon = immunity from everything. So they keep doing illegal things thinking they’re protected forever.
A J6er pardoned by Trump just got arrested for crimes against two kids. One victim, only 11, says 44-year-old Andrew Paul Johnson abused him 3 times.
Kids pay the price for Trump's soft-on-crime policies.

Such classic gaslighting it's an instructive moment. The question is not whether generic is better or worse, it's that a list with more expensive brand names is not the same as a list with cheaper generics. Perverting that truth into an attack on those calling it out is Manipulation 101.
Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."
