And just like that, our generals and admirals were reduced to toy soldiers, played with by a guy who'd sooner melt them under a magnifying glass than use them wisely and in accordance with the US Constitution.

Last night I told my 15-year old son I was going to send him a YouTube video with a play-by-play critique of a Charlie Kirk debate that shows all his rhetorical tricks and logical fallacies he relied on.
Unprompted, he said there was one he was going to send me, criticizing the very same things.

I truly don't understand the strength you have to still find your way to humor in times like this. I keep thinking and worrying about this.

Kirk's "Prove Me Wrong" debates were not a celebration of free speech. He expertly wielded form to "win" by performance instead of facts, with the express purpose of humiliation for content.
A simple manipulator like so many who've found fame and wealth courting right-wing audiences

That right-wing civil war may indeed collapse the threat, but we'll have to be increasingly wary of a Hitler or Stalin repeat, trying to appeal to the legitimately downtrodden working class through left-wing messaging only to be autocrats, themselves.

This hasn't aged well. I've wondered if the makers of Surviving Mars have regretted citing Musk given the guy's fall into Bond villainy and general fascism. Suffice it to say, nobody's stats are in the green when he's in charge.

Imagine being such a pathetic cuckold that you go before the world to admit you can't satisfy your obligations just so you can celebrate the guy you think is.

Wow. What a ridiculous take. I didn't steal from artists any more than I would have had I learned to draw, myself, based on the art styles of existing artists.
And it's the damned definition of the word. It's not complex.

Every time I think maybe it's faked or out of context, no. It's real. And I hate going to Twitter even for fact checking.

Liberals SUPPORT those safeguards and social programs. It's neo-liberals that have been chipping away at them for decades.
Seriously. Crack open a dictionary and read the definition of liberalism. I'll help.
Just look at all the safeguards politicians like Elizabeth Warren try to spearhead.
