I would unironically read that book. A lot of people are clowning on his writing, but I enjoy reading trashy, overdone prose.

I didn't bother reading Nuzzi's piece, I just knew vaguely what happened with RFK. It's still amazing.

It makes it so much better that he's an astronomically better writer. Still not fantastic, but God damn that reveal at the end.

(I also have a massive soft spot for meandering, self-indulgent prose, NGL)

Eh, I think that's falling into the old internet atheist trap. Remember how many of those types turned into rabid islamophobes? Christianity is used as an excuse for the hate that's already there, not the source of the hate.

Gonna be real, I don't think this would be getting nearly as much coverage if Green was a dem. It's bizarre, the kind of preferential treatment conservatives get from the press.

It's genuinely quite bizarre that Ted Cruz thinks he can win a primary, let alone a general election, outside of Texas. The only reason he has any power at all is that those people are fucking crazy.

I was so convinced they were going to Bears it. Especially when it came down to a long-ish field goal.

Tbh a degree isn't strictly necessary, they could even just leave their basements and go to a trade school. Instead they sit inside all day and watch right wing grifters.

None of this is normal! None of it is in the safe parameters of sanity!

That and simmering racial resentment, fed into by the fact that they're too incompetent to get a real job.

If and when dems ever regain power don't let yourself get excited and start thinking they will do a single thing about any of these people. They will walk free, rich, and happy until the day they die like Dick Cheney

I hate that fucking Maduro is better at anti-Trump messaging than every politician in America. But hey, maybe if we get a little more racist, the fascists will leave the fascist party in favor of our milquetoast fascism lite.
