I like principled conservatives & democratic socialists. I tolerate statists & libertarians. I respect pacifists & hawks. I love reason & debate. I need oaths & honor. I detest populism vs expertise. I can't stomach MAGA, Q, devotees of truthlessness. Civilization should never normalize immorality.

Trump’s Ukraine “Peace Plan” Is a Gift to Moscow open.substack.com/pub/steadyst... A peace process that excludes Ukraine is not a peace process. A plan that rewards invasion is not a plan. And a president who sets holiday deadlines for surrender is not negotiating, he’s coercing.

Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."
