The Republican Party changed not on account of Bush, but on account of Fox: the creation of an ever-expanding media bubble that conservatives could opt to live inside, where their every fantasy was indulged as true. This bubble was created as an instrument of movement conservatism, but consumed it.
Like virtually everyone else , Will forgets that Trump in fact ran for president prior to 2016, and barely registered. In fact what happened in between that the Republican Party fundamentally changed and most of that is on account of Bush.

The DOJ is now online commenting on posts, claiming information they released in the Epstein files is fake and shouldn’t be trusted. The desperation is obvious.

The USPS faces a tight squeeze. With fewer people using the mail, it’s lost more and more money: $9 billion in the 12 months ending in September alone.

Communities have cultural norms, including online communities, and having a large subset of the community which has a permission slip to behave antisocially is extremely detrimental to the entire ecosystem, shifting how everyone else interacts, including with each other.

During Christmas, a time when so many people are spending time with family for the holidays, I always notice that a disproportionate number of service industry workers who are covering those days tend to be queer.

It always makes me a bit sad why this is likely the case.

my boys, like many kids, are obsessed with pokemon and have binders of cards and it is almost completely impossible to find card packs at MSRP because the entire market has been bought up by scalpers

been following TCGs on and off for almost 30 years and this is about as bad as I’ve ever seen it
It is hilariously pathetic that they have to do this because gigantic scalper manbabies wont let kids have fun

The thing where Trump names everything after himself isn’t a funny little quirk but an incredibly reliable indicator that a leader is in fact a dictator. It doesn’t happen in any democratic society, no sane leader does it

WTF! The Trump administration plans to review (with the intent to remove or eliminate) some of the nation’s wildlife refuges and fish hatcheries. Agency director Brian Nesvik ordered officials to identify refuges/hatcheries whose purpose the administration claims “no longer aligns with the mission.”

The headline has to be "Justice Department released Epstein files but illegally redacts 'politically exposed individuals'," right?

Like surely they can't just ignore the law, redact their friends, and get away with it because news agencies will pretend the crystal-clear law is unclear?

Schiff: "Part of this is a consequence I think frankly of Chief Justice Roberts giving the president absolute immunity when it comes to his instructions to the DOJ. He can pretty much order them to do what he wants and know that he will never be held criminally liable."

The Epstein files themselves are a quick read. It really just looks like a continuation of the cover-up. Many of the records are heavily redacted.

Tomorrow is the Epstein file release day. Reports are the DOJ is still redacting documents as of tonight, so expectations for tomorrow remain low.

The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price.

Here we are again.

We cannot let a wannabe dictator drag us into another forever war.
