Imagine being able to thumb our collective nose at the Middle East and their fossil fuels. By extension, imagine a domestic economy not shackled to the whims of a few oil executives. That’s the real climate crisis - a poisonous economic one.

I wish Graham would just go back to Mercer House and host exclusive-invites parties.

The children of the wealthy don’t go to war. They go to Wharton.

Never think for a second that he cares about anyone other than himself. As a psychopath, that part of his brain doesn’t work right. He is incapable of care beyond his own desires. That’s why raping children would have the same gravity as ordering lunch.

I think I have a defensible bright line for political violence. If the midterms are canceled or effectively nullified, then we live in a failed state. A failed state has no moral authority to govern. The actors causing the failure are by definition extrajudicial and can claim no protection.

Whither Luigi?

May Trump enjoy the same success as befell Il Duce.

If you go, sit on the main floor. The acoustics anywhere else are poor.

It was an exceptionally good performance. Multiple encores.

O Fortuna… how right you are.

Well, Orff was unconventional.

Mysterious ‘Leaving MAGA’ support group billboards pop up cities in battleground Pennsylvania “Leaving MAGA” billboards that have popped up around central Pennsylvania are urging people to ditch the movement and treating it like a disease – but it’s not clear who is paying for the PR …

Seems like a noble cause that should be replicated all over deep red states. Sow dissension Create doubt. Challenge their brainwashing.

By every established metric, the US is becoming a fragile state. We are governed by a cabal of amateurs, cowards, and the greedy. The core goods of state are slipping away.

I’m often asked when I think violence against corruption is permissible. As a general principle, the rational part of me says never. We are not, however, in a rational public moment.
I would normally draw a line at journalists being jailed, but monopolies are doing that work.
The hour approaches.

Having spent a minute or two around “information” this galls me. These unserious amateurs have just thrown out every basic operational security directive, let alone ICD 705. This is an effing clown car with nuclear weapons.

Marc Cuban recently suggested that the US doesn’t need health insurance companies by asserting that absent them, “people could just pay cash because that would be cheaper.” Even when they get it, they don’t. #LetThemEatCake

I hadn’t considered that, but point taken. Notify the ASPCA.

There’s nothing wrong with Oz that couldn’t be resolved by a pit filled with cobras.

Exclusive: Read the draft executive emergency order for Trump to take control of elections Lawyers and legal experts explicitly said that such an order is blatantly unconstitutional.

We won’t teach you to read, feed you, or give you healthcare but we’ll get you a great job making stuff to kill people.

This is why the #Arkansas Democrats need to quit wringing their hands and do the work. If the party can’t identify and support candidates with a genuine chance of winning, then maybe the party needs new leadership. Washington isn’t the only place with ineffectual Democrats.

Then I’ll just send my complaints directly to you!!!

If your website has more than one obstructive popup, I don’t need whatever you have to offer. I don’t want to sign up and I probably don’t want your trivial discount.

Thank you. I think Jones has a fair chance in a gerrymandered district. Likewise with Shoffner. The Dems don’t seem to understand the necessity of winning low victory margin legislative seats or the value of running on the Trump Cult’s record of failure.

The Democratic Party in Arkansas likes to nominate aspirational candidates with little chance of defeating established Trump Cult players. This cycle has some great notable exceptions but for the most part the candidates don’t perform well outside of their silos. Thirty percent isn’t a good showing.

Former Trump official enrages Arkansas Republicans over money pit proposal A former Trump official has returned home to infuriate her Republican friends

When you understand that Sanders’ #AuntFester whole motivation for private prisons is a grift for her and her duck hunting buddies, this all comes into focus. Her policies are designed to increase overcrowding so that more prisons are the answer. She’s just as despicable as her old man and Trump.

It’d be cool to have a country where anti-trust laws are enforced.
