Vendee, Armia Krajowa, Never Trump Provisional Wing and Philadelphia sports. One of these things is not like the other.

Here we have the state attorneys general brief arguing to overturn birthright citizenship, led by Tennessee and Iowa.

I’ll just start by highlighting that we now have historically inaccurate and methodically bankrupt law professors’ work at the top of the batting order.

This stuff matters.

Mistakes were made

The horrific scandal in Turkey is pretty indicative of the natural end point of this. People always thought it was corrupt, but not *that* corrupt

Austria, always: There is no trouble our poor political choices can get us into that our culture can’t get us out of

The civilized world in 1946: You welcomed the Anschluss! No

Austria: β€œThe hills are alive….”

The civilized world: See your point, gosh those Germans were horrible

But here’s the most uncomfortable truth of all: the parasites that have taken over so much of our countryβ€”pantsuited girlboss advertising executives, Skittle-haired they/them activists, soy-faced pajama-clad work-from-home HR apparatchiks, Adderall-addicted dog mom diversity consultants, nasally voiced Ivy League regulatory lawyers, obese George Soros–funded police abolitionist district attorneys, hipster trust fund socialistsβ€”are some of the least impressive people in the history of the world. The Uniparty would never have achieved what it has in this country without a great degree of rottenness, of decadence, of torpor, of complacency already

it's utterly wild how the Heritage Foundation president talks about other people

if you found a guy talking like this outside, you'd probably call the cops

On the plus side, I suppose this may help US allies get the nuclear weapons they probably need now that Trump won't protect them.

On the minus side, Japan and South Korea have the computing resources not to care and it mostly benefits small rogue states who want to destroy the international order.

I know Jesus taught us to love our enemies, bless those who curse us, and do good to those who hate us (Matthew 5:44), but he said that way before the Los Angeles Dodgers existed

Get-a-fix sticks in my mind as a particularly brilliant translation example (it also led to my Mom having to explain heroin to me at like age 9)

I've repeated this quote before, but Stanley Rosen is reputed to have once said in a grad seminar at BU: "You liberal grad students think postmodernism is cute, but just wait until the right gets a hold of it."

The disclosure was so β€œmean” *because they were so shocked by the fact she tried to pull Stephen Glass shit twenty years later after she got busted alongside Stephen Glass* they were both legitimately angry and desperate to be seen as above board.

you started with β€œwe want youth policy”, you conceded yeah maybe there was policy but there needed to be more unpopular rhetoric, and it all comes down to Gaza.

And if they went full BDS you’d claim you couldn’t support them until there was full student loan forgiveness or something else
