Americans vs Republicans. It’s about time we made a clear distinction between these things.

This is exactly what I’m talking about. Asymmetric tactics that break their logistical back by denying them lodging, transport, food and fuel. That is how you win.

I’m not ok with the moderate to extremely liberal groups saying yes to any of those questions.

The point being they lack context and history. For the 19 yr old protesting undeniable genocide getting screamed at that that makes them anti-semitic, then they are going to start to say, yes, I guess I am then.

It's a dangerous bullying tactic that will ultimately backfire on those who deploy it.

Your inverted circular logic is mind-numbingly stupid.

When the Israeli-genocide apologists lob anti-semitism accusations like a grenade at anyone who challenges Israel's actions in Gaza, how do you expect them to respond?

How can you both be exclusively taking over the investigation and not investigating?

Ah, Douthat...

The thinking man's fascist.

Why does this situation seem so familiar?

Does anybody remember “STATES RIGHTS!”

Ha! Good times.

I believe this will be a strategic blunder. They will be bringing non-proud boy/ oath keeper types and expecting them to shoot people in the face.

I predict that command and control will collapse if they do this. But maybe I’m a hopeless optimist.

We have a culture and media that can’t even grasp the Republican’s repeatedly and dependably trash the economy when they gain power. How could you expect to figure any of this out.
January 18, 2026 at 4:19 PM
Vichy Americans, we will remember.

Yes. The depravity is the point.

What’s your view on sodium chemistry entry into the market and how fast it will become a significant chemistry in the mix?

Hank! I do declare I might faint from such colorful vocabulary!

100% with the minor quibble that I would drop the “de facto.”

There is a reason that the bad guys in the comics we grew up reading were always Nazis or billionaires.

Taxing Americans to punish our allies

Yet another reason to not have an X account or do business with any Musk related entity

OMG, I left at 17 and I never looked back.
