I hate saying this, but the Democratic Party needs a Mitch McConnell figure to herd the cats.
The Republicans wielded more power as a minority than Schumer and the Dems did as a majority.

Clockwork Orange is a movie you feel obliged to watch because it's a "classic", then never watch again because it feels so viscerally awful to watch. And the morale, if there is one, gets lost in the constant march of shock for shock's sake.

At least Lucy let Charlie kick the football once.
This is why Dems constantly lose - they resign before the fight is even done. The idea that some useless performative vote is a "victory" is wildly delusional.

I went through my angry atheist phase in college, where anyone believing in God was illogical, immoral, all that dumb shit.

I don't know Kristol's views on trans issues, but he seems to place a high value on decorum and decency and a lack of crudity. He's probably just offended that a person that has committed no crime (except that is existing) is being bullied for political theater.

I've been happy that she escaped the horseshoe theory of politics. She started out as a leftist activist but has matured into a smart, more moderated politician. And I don't use that P word as an insult here.

I think the overall product in Goodfellas is slightly superior, but Casino is more memorable in parts. Better soundtrack certainly.
