Awesome that we're just doing the mortgage crisis but for everything now

Well, you did a very good job. Take care!

Really well-put-- been trying to process things in this vein, and found this very helpful. Thanks for putting these things into words, it really does mean a lot!

Poly???

Hubert: “I’ll run for you Lyndon but you better not be doing that dog-ass Sonic pose when I get to the convention”
Lyndon not five minutes later:

Not necessarily about DV, but have you written other alt-hist pieces? If so, where can I find them?

Fair enough, let me know when your new one drops, I’d definitely sign myself up 👍

You’ve got articles? Where can I find them?

Alright chat talk to me, do I write about the state of the Democratic Party for the next two years, or do I write about Trump's first 100 days?

Senior Democrat Gerry Connolly beats out AOC in key vote for top party post on Oversight panel The race between Connolly and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had been seen as a fight over seniority as younger Democrats pushed for new blood and generational change.

Disappointing news, not solidified just yet, but odds are good that she doesn't get in. I seriously doubt Connolly can be a good spokesman for the party at this juncture-- I haven't seen any direction at all from establishment dems on where to go for this congress yet

Fr though always incredibly compelling to see the Nixon-Johnson relationship, just incredibly odd. Between ‘68 and their feelings towards each other from before it would always have been odd and unique. Checks out that Lyndon never dropped the Nixon hate à la Harry

Johnson AND Nixon transitioned? Good for them. Good for them.

Of course, this doesn’t necessarily translate to people who liked Bernie agreeing with him 100%, but it does show that folks just liked him better than Trump

Polling in 2016 had Bernie outperforming Hillary by several points consistently in 2016— really! If you go and check polls from 2016, Bernie always did better! I think we memory-hole it because of the electability argument, but people just liked him better than Hillary or Trump in 2016

Are we not kinda past this point? I feel like in 2017 we might get four op-eds and an episode of Vice per-tweet, but it kinda feels like this is just the expectation now— unless you’re the ForPol guy in New Delhi who’s got to figure out what the hell he’s thinking of at a given time

Worth pointing out that in almost all 2016 polls, Bernie does better than Hillary against all candidates except occasionally Kasich. Possibly the most infuriating thing to go through is listening to "electability" arguments when he was straight up doing 5 points better at times. He'd lose 2024 tho

my recollection is that sicario is a gripping, deeply critical portrait of the brutality at the heart of the "war on drugs" and sicario ii is "brooooos, what if all that stuff from the first movie were epic and sicknasty?"

Couldn't have put it better myself. There's a reason we pushed the funni MLP April fool's update w/ 10 years of content through in four-ish months, but take literal years for other patches: we don't have to worry about the moral implications of a magical MLP warlord, but we do for presenting nazis.

I would also like to take this opportunity to announce Clintonland, my 1996 Bill Clinton incumbency mod. We will have several questions dedicated to infidelity and will not be using punctuation. Thank you

With the awards for TCT mods this year released, I think the easy conclusion here is pretty self-evident: people love to hate Dubya. All TCT mods here on out should be CYOA, have a stylized font, and be dark and grim without exception.

Won’t ever forget my grandfather using most of his time 2016-onwards cursing Donald Trump yet also speaking positively of George Wallace AND Hubert Humphrey whenever either are brought up. There are people who believe in moral causes while also wanting to see “Them” die painfully. Suburbs, amirite?

“Everywhere I look… I see his face”

RUMMY????

Thank you for the nourishment, patriot

I have unfortunately shut down my laptop for the night but I will absolutely accept

Oh of course tyty

Aw sick man thanks

On it, I know you've written a lot about it, so count me in. I will LEAGALLY OBTAIN IT and then watch it over the Christmas break, will write a review and post it here/on my substack after

This from Chappaquidick?
