I can almost already hear Larry Summers (and other conservative economists) admiring Jeffrey Epstein for creating a Pareto-optimal distribution of adolescent sexuality.

A tale I must tell today on my late mother, and in doing so, I mean no actual disrespect to the Cheney family, grieving as they are for the actual loss of their loved one. The humor that follows is that of the Simon family's dark and dystropic sense of humor and so, an apology in advance.

He also invented “major question” doctrine which bans Biden from doing things clearly authorized by law but apparently allows Trump to eliminate a congressionally-mandated agency.
it makes me incandescently furious that roberts invented the idea of banning coercive conditions on funding to kill medicaid expansion and refuses to do a single thing about the fact that the trump administration's entire deal is "coercive conditions on funding"

1) you can just tell these people to fuck off.
2) work strategically to arrange things so you will continue to be able to just tell these people to fuck off despite the costs they will try to impose on you for doing so.
3) in any case, just tell them to fuck off.

How do you know when you live under a corrupt authoritarian regime? When the government punishes a foreign country for allowing a new business model the shows that businesses run by favored local kleptocrats are old-fashioned, corrupt, inefficient and wasteful monopolies. archive.is/eZbWu

When Trump deploys troops to US cities and orders them to shoot demonstrators — as he will — the fate of the US depends on whether the Trump regime’s perceived legitimacy is like the Chinese Communist Party in 1989, or like Nicolae Ceaușescu in 1989.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

Director Comey, still think it was a smart move to October Surprise Hillary a few days before the 2016 election? For the nation? For yourself?
Look, It's shameful for Trump's morons to carry out a nakedly political prosecution. But the Schadenfreude burns like a Bessemer converter.

Since there's no organization called Antifa - and the massive publicity is just sitting right there for the taking - I want to immediately create a 501(c)(3) called "Antifa" and start running bake sales to buy books for elementary school libraries.

yes, people really seem to be going back and forth from "it's not just being poor makes you racist" to "economic policies are irrelevant to the development of the far right". It's such a massive motte-and-bailey that it ought to have a shop selling Historic Wales tea towels.

Apparently there'll be a gov shutdown at the end of the month, & so the Dems make a deal with Trump & the GOP to stop it. But I don't understand why anyone might think EITHER (1) the GOP are willing to bind Trump, OR (2) Trump will keep a unsecured deal. To me, believing (1) & (2) seems like lunacy.
