My core belief is that all people are people.
Reasonably well-informed, but not the arbiter of anything. I think lively debate in good faith makes us all better, but I don’t want to fight anyone on the internet.
I’m gonna follow you if I like your dog. 🐶

So my immediate reaction to the announcement that the FDA will only be permitting vaccines for people over 65 was, “I’m going to die!” but perhaps my estate (the dog) can sue the administration for the Qatari jet.

Donald the Daoist spoke of “known unknowns” and “unknown unknowns.” He encouraged us to proceed through the gate of darkness to the origins.
Donald the Nominalist wanted to “rectify the names.” “Tariffs,” he said, “a beautiful word.” “Groceries,” he intoned.

“…or even the new reality show, Green Card, in which illegal (but good-looking) Mexicans had to make it across the U.S. border, past the Border Patrol and minutemen and fifty miles of broiling desert, to the finish line.”

Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
Noem Plots Reality Show Where Migrants Fight for Citizenship
A Homeland Security official told the Daily Beast that the show is in the early stages of vetting, though approval has not been given—or denied.

He strikes again! Gonna name my firstborn “Judge Sessions.”
Judge Sessions: I do find, frankly, that these are very serious claims of due process and First Amendment violations. Extraordinary circumstances are really self-evident. Öztürk is asthmatic, she is suffering as a result of her incarceration. I found medical testimony very persuasive.

Fuuuuck. I ran up that hill and made a deal with God that if I got a Pope for my birthday (today) AND it was Pizzaballa, I would consider returning to the Church. We’re at one out of two… thoughts and prayers for me, please. I don’t want to go back.

“Losing my court case would be irreparable harm ☹️☹️” - Drew Ensign’s entire argument
Judge Parker to DOJ: You're saying an adverse decision is irreparable harm to the government?
(Judge Carney chimes in similarly incredulous tone)
Ensign/DOJ: It is sovereign injury. Inability to exercise its ability to carry out removal power.

The Four Horsemen! (But Duffy is scared of the horse.)
So just to recap, the Transportation Secretary is scared shitless of public transport. The Education Secretary is being sued for enabling child sex abuse. The Health Secretary is bringing back measles. And the Defense Secretary is texting classified war plans to the editor in chief of the Atlantic
That would be Secretary of Education Linda McMahon who's being sued for aiding and abetting systemic child molestation, just to be clear

This isn’t a “1 in 8 men think they could score a point on Serena Williams thing”—I am in absolutely no way qualified—but *I* would be a better Secretary of Defense than Pete Hegseth because I would at least not be throwing my weight around because I’d be aware that I didn’t deserve to be there.
