This sounds like the dream of consciousness ramblings of a madman. I can’t believe this is her book.
when someone is convicted of a heinous crime and the judge imposes a long sentence, this is the sentence they impose.
ok, i'm calling it, Olivia Nuzzi is not real. she is a Markov chain text generator. we've been duped.

Ok so the reward posters in Disney’s
Robin Hood, assuming a certain standard size ingot in medieval
England (20 grams) and an average gold value pulled from Google for the era, suggests Robin Hood’s bounty of 10,000 gold ingots would have been roughly $21 million today.

Stuff like this and the Chicago tear-gassing of the children’s Halloween party would be getting wall to wall media coverage for many weeks in any other era of modern US history. I don’t really know what else there is to say.
Here’s a story for every national news outlet:
In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property.
“Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.”

The app Text With Jesus uses artificial intelligence and chatbots to offer spiritual guidance to users who are looking to connect with a higher power: on.nbc10.com/7XM8xrf
People can text with Jesus on a controversial new app. How does it work?
Artificial intelligence app Text With Jesus lets users chat with biblical figures and it is raising debate over faith and technology.

As a former member of NYT’s finance team & the co-author of this story exposing the relationship between Epstein & Bill Gates as well as one on Epstein & JPMorgan, I am really frustrated to see people claiming that NYT sat on publishable info about Trump and Epstein 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2019/10/12/b...

An insidious long-term effect of this is that govt agencies under law-abiding administrations may be much less willing to investigate elected officials, for any reason, or even to seek information from those officials in investigations in which they are not targets.
Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team.

Oh shit.
The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

The two worst metaphors to infect discourse:
1. Touching the stove
2. Dog catching the car
When Roe vs. Wade was overturned we won some election in Kansas and everyone was excited and then at the very next election Donald Trump became president again.
Wins are still wins even if the PR sounds bad

Indeed, it’s almost like “stove touching” is a horseshit framework which gets thrown around wildly on BSky by people who seem to think it makes them sound tough

It looked to me like Trump was about to rip up his Congressional relationship to kill the filibuster, and, like maybe even find a way to get himself big, wet impeached.
And yet the dickless wonders didn't want to let that play out.

Damn sounds like Republicans should have been really motivated to end the shutdown then.
👇There it is, the alternative was to keep federal employees unpaid for 13 MONTHS. How the fuck do you think that would play out? A collapse of the entire underpinnings of the country, that's how.
Victory looks like a bill that extends the ACA subsidies OR (and this is a key or) keeps the government shut down until the midterms.
Yes. That's a victory too.

This. Theres so much cope on here this morning about how this was always going to happen, we got small wins, etc. We funded the govt for 2 months for “concessions” that were just rollbacks of petty shutdown retribution, while they were bleeding support, and we ensured next time will be worse for us.
seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous
