It was so easy to predict the pivot to “oh come on, they were practically adults, they were hardly quote-unquote ‘children’”
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."

Getting this out of my system because I see too many people getting this wrong:
Descartes was not saying "you have to think in order to exist".
Descartes was saying "I *know* that I exist, because there is a thing that is here, thinking this thought, and if it's thinking, it has to exist."

Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

But also: Imagine what a basket case you would have to be psychologically to need this all the time.

Speaking of which... I do wonder, what's the deal with Article 17-252? To remind you unnecessarily: "A Senior Senator, in the case of emergency, may yield the floor freely, without interruption, to another Senior Senator." This was proposed by the Imperial council. So... why?
