Bloomberg Editorial Board: On a scale of 0 to Willie Nelson, how high are you?
Of course they can't ignore it. This bloated manchild just set fire to decades worth of work from dedicated public servants, all so he could self-deal. There is no bright side. It's not reform, it's repair. Fuck off.

I'm not being purposefully obtuse. The guy's a dick, obv.
However, it would be cool to have more AOCs out there (male/female/etc.). 🤔 I have an idea. Let's make this one president and then we can see how that plays out inspiring the next generation!

I saw some guy online comment today that "we need a male AOC" and I had to shut my laptop and go for a nice, long walk in order to avoid screaming.

I couldn't agree with Mr. DiBello more. Taking the "high road" is a call from the establishment to protect the current social order for sake of social norms which serve their interests. It's merely status quo wrapped in a cloak of decorum and civility.
Every time I remember how Democratic leadership or punditry scolded Dems to take the High Road, and color within the lines of The System, I want to fucking vomit.

Pro tip: When under investigation, STFU.
Seriously. You're the best. I'm sure if, given the opportunity, you could prove your innocence... But that's not why they are talking to you.
They have a theory and want supporting evidence. Everything you say will be used to prove that theory. STFU.

Seems pretty straightforward. There is no reasonable doubt that Trump's actions against Zelenskyy only benefit Putin. In a sane world, Trump would already be impeached for crimes against his own country as well as Ukraine.

If there's any one thing that I know about viruses, it's that viruses have an incredibly stable genome and are very resistant to mutation... As such, there is absolutely NO WAY that H1N5 can benefit from selective mutations/lat. gene transfer. This is not an instantly regrettable decision. #sarcasm

Selfish is one thing. In fact, selfish is basically all Trump does. However, this is vile. This is tantamount to murder.
If this goes through, Trump should be prosecuted as a war criminal (e.g., Article 8(2)(a)(vii) under Rome Statute).

(2) Florida AG is using the investigation as performative theater with the intent of clearing Andrew Tate's name.
