Hegseth thought it was a big deal when he took a ride in the backseat of a fighter plane. Ooh look at me. Wanted pictures to make it look like he was flying it. Kelly flew them in combat and piloted or commanded space shuttles four times. What a joke this guy is.

Great to see Jon and Eugene on board. As a relative new comer to the Atlantic, 10 years, it has been a salve to my mind as American dissonance resonates like steadily increasing tinnitus. I was distraught with what happened to the Post, and the Times is hanging by a thread with their sane washing.

Better to admit your ignorance up front where it can hide.

It is. I came for the rarefied vocabulary, and stay for the pounding of the dweebs.

My God I had a dream like this right before I retired. I was chained to a treadmill of knee deep sand.

When I see blocked along with a referencing comment, I feel like I was taking a bite of a hot dog when the shortstop made an acrobatic play. See the results but missed the event. A bit of a downer.

What we have here is a failure to communicate. Authoritarianism has 7 freaking syllables. It will never be accepted by the American people who only use 3, or in an unusual situation four. You can yell fascist all day long however. There is no need to listen to your mind bog down at
... tarianism.

“I am more afraid of our own mistakes than of our enemies’ designs” Pericles, 431 BC. Sounds like he had Democrats back then to contend with too.

Things are much better now. The teaspoon of accumulated microplastics in our brains gotta be doing something or something I forget.

As always. It's like they take a class in how to do this, give away your one point of leverage just when it's starting to have an effect. The pain and suffering to this point is for naught. It is one reason so many people reject the Dems. Weak and Meek isn't attractive.

I just can't understand Democrats. At the point of maximum leverage with the only tool you have, you hand the tool to your adversaries. All the pain suffered so far and nothing to gain by it. It's why so many reject the Democratic Party. They prefer "Strong & Wrong to Meek and Weak".

When you see it in the wild, as it actually happens, it is slightly stupefying. Ready, spit words, maybe or maybe not read something your commenting about.

I too am a little giddy about the use of the word incantatory. A perfect and descriptive word to make the point, and sadly not in my personal lexicon. Word smithing is one of the reasons I stay tuned. That and the pounding of the dweebs. :)
