Too much time (re)posting on our sad politics. I would rather focus on Africa, history, religion, music, SF, NBA. 5x5 is my favorite stat line. Pacers my team; Thunder my side-piece. Hoosier in Mountaineer country.
I have friends everywhere.

i wish it were more satisfying to watch Ben Shapiro get eaten alive by the monsters he made his bed with, but unfortunately we have to live with the fuckers too.

Candace Owens, responding to Ben Shapiro’s speech at Turning Point USA, mainlines unquestionable Neo-Nazi propaganda, including dangerous Talmudic conspiracies.

Summarizing the Bari Press spectrum of allowable opinion
A "debate" where the two sides are a conservative operative and an Epstein files guy. Remember what I said about how "stacked panel" propaganda works.

Yes, but it’s not a “nuclear option.” It’s the most basic, obvious, conventional option available if you want to actually do something effective. The fact that they’re not immediately promising it en masse tells us something, and that something is not good.
WATCH-- Former AG Eric Holder says Congress should consider impeachment for the DOJ officials responsible for holding back the Epstein files: “That's a nuclear option that Congress has.”

imo the actual threat to capital-A America is not the Trump administration but that the Trump administration's behaviors will not be disincentivized enough
flip-flopping back and forth between breaking things and fixing things every 4-8 years means eventually it'll stay broken

Stuff like this will obviously be very easy to undo and clearly will be undone, like it would be totally non-controversial even with the most milquetoast new Dem POTUS you could imagine, but it is genuinely just Not Good when even the basic names of institutions start ping ponging every 4-8 years

Prediction: there will be a token release of some Epstein material tomorrow, but nothing of consequence and the drama will continue. The Trump administration’s hope is to let the 2 to 3 week congressional vacation over the holidays take the edge off of demand.

The New School owns about a billion dollars worth of art, most of which is not on display. They could sell the two Warhols they own and raise $100 million tomorrow. But they’d rather close academic departments.
New School “administrators have started to implement a plan to close, overhaul or merge about 30 academic programs or majors; pause nearly all admissions to doctoral programs; and offer buyouts or early retirement to what professors say is about 40 percent of the full-time faculty.”

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.
