So, so instructive to compare media response to Afghanistan withdrawal -- months of hysterical garment-rending & catastrophizing, relentless criticism of the admin -- with the response to an unprovoked, unmotivated, illegal war of aggression, ie, "some critics say maybe Trump should have reasons."

Each one of those three missiles costs 33% more than the annual budget of the national park where I work.

Imagine if whether you lived or died depended on whether an old senile and malevolent man got annoyed by a segment on CNN or if there’s another news story about a minor development in the Epstein Files?

there's a madman in the white house, he's illegally started a war, he's offered no explanation to the public other than an insane conspiracy theory that Iran somehow tried to interfere in last year's election, and the opposition leaders are releasing statements full of mixed support and concern

He needs to add strength but he has a really terrific sense of that game. A natural thinker on the court.

We live in a time of massive para social relationships and no one wants to have a parasocial relationship with people who seem like losers.

I can’t agree hard enough with this. It has very little to do with the substance of democratic policies and everything to do with their appearance of being feckless. Obviously different politics appeal to different people, but the biggest problem is they just don’t seem like fighters or winners.

Is this wishcasting because the current refereeing is making me physically ill? Maybe!

It’s going to be hilarious if the referees in the Michigan do a FT/Foul even out here in OT

By the way, a reminder on Jack Hughes, since the grifters are already trying to hijack his postgame interview

The current Court majority is a classic captured court.

The Justices pick the outcome they want, and work backwards from there, inventing and disregarding legal theories on the fly in the process.

Pretty sure the non-basketball income you make from being a Knick is more than the Bucks could hope to pay.
