Rigorous, Fred-based Reporting

In the mafia shows, nobody is allowed to lay a finger on a made man, so when they do, the only choice is to make sure no one ever finds the made man.

Posting a photo of Ceausescu’s bathroom for no apparent reason.

Gregory Bovino, wee man, escorted by four normal masked thugs.

He calls himself "Il Bovino," but not because of his strength, obviously.

It's almost as if they have nothing ready to start building and just demolished the East Wing as quickly as possible so no one could stop them.

Out: "ban congressional stock trading"

Liberals are supposed to be the literate side, but they do not even recognize the concept of "tell a story".

Folks, don't get reverse-polarized into denying the atrocities of the Mexica civilization. Please.

I worry more about having no cultural institutions at all.

It is very difficult to co-opt hostile institutions.

It is much easier to destroy them.

That sounds a lot like the worst stereotype of French "methodical battle" doctrine. The doctrine that failed against the opposing "let's roll" doctrine.

Citizens are mindless cogs in a deterministic machine who vote based on formulae summing issue popularity multiplied by issue salience. The job of the politician is to discern issue popularity and salience, which is exogenous, through polling, and shape and allocate messaging according to formula.

Usha isn't divorcing JD, because she signed up for this to be a queen. JD isn't divorcing Usha, because Usha would murder him.

Counter-gerrymandering Virginia is great and all, but a Democratic supermajority in Colorado after 2026 to amend the constitution and get to 7D-1R will be the real victory.

Did Heinz Guderian write this?

Golly, if only Republican Jews had been warned that the Republican leader spending a decade praising them for their loyalty to Israel would have bad consequences for them.
