This government consists of sadistic serial killers.

This is outright mass murder.

Old enough to remember when kids being anti-semitic was the basis for a federal government assault on higher education

The marketplace of ideas, ladies and gentlemen!

Good piece, btw

should the government allow journalists access to them? yes. of course. but it's always been a carefully curated version of reality. denying access shouldn't be a death sentence to reporting. if anything, it should make you want to work even harder to figure out why they're keeping you out.

i'm just a little independent journalist but i don't think the credibility of your reporting should be dependent on access to a paid government mouthpiece

Folks, I'm heading down to my local ANTIFA headquarters for a fish-fry fundraiser to buy bullet-proof frog suits for protesters. Anyone know if these events are BYOB?

Goddamn, RIP to one of the best to ever do it.

Tangential, but one of my least favorite things is when a judge writes a mildly snarky opinion and legal analysts use words like "destroyed" or "nuked" or whatever hyperbole is at hand.

We should have ended it all when he started openly monetizing the presidency at his DC hotel & sending his kids to represent the 🇺🇸 government at official international events. But he is One Special Boy and we appear to no longer be a serious country interested in the rule of law or the Constitution.

I don't understand why U.S. reporters so regularly seem to let politicians get away with 'I haven't seen that' about stuff a) they obviously know and b) is directly relevant to their job. Did they sign some kind of agreement never to ask a follow-up question?

blah blah Hunter Biden blah blah Burisma yada yada

They've been in power a week

While I have nothing but love for my friends who keep kosher or halal, any all-beef hot dog is going to have the problem that a beef and pork mix just tastes better.

I think you and Jake are saying the same thing.

Hasn't this year proved that no progress is truly safe and it only takes one bad cycle for the right to do irreparable damage?

That's correct, but it still does not speak well to the establishment's instincts.

5 y/o asked me "What's a telephone? Is that the one stuck to the wall?"

I don't know about the complaints, but the larger story sure sounds like what happened to the Asbury Park and Long Branch music scenes.

He’s PROUD of all the fatalities

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

He was caring for his 5-year-old son with brain cancer. Then he was detained by ICE. A court has temporarily blocked Johny Merida Aguilar's deportation to Bolivia.

Every day at noon, no matter how busy, Johny Merida Aguilar left his construction job and hurried to his 5-year-old son's school to feed him. His son has brain cancer and generally only accepts food from his father.

Merida Aguilar was arrested by ICE in September and faces deportation to Bolivia.

One of my favorite bits is that every few years Beatty dusts off the costume and films a half hour of himself dicking around in character, which he pays to put on tv at like 1 am, lest the rights to the character revert back to the studio youtu.be/MwKncYwtec4?...

There's no "regular politics" anymore because you can no longer maintain the idea that we all agree on common goals but we only differ about the means of getting there or whatever. The guys in charge now are plainly amoral, sadistic nihilists. They delight in it! You can't civilly disagree with that

NYT headline: "Rutgers Expert on Antifa Tries to Flee to Spain After Death Threats" subheadline: "Mark Bray was teaching courses on antifascism. Turning Point USA accused him of belonging to antifa, which he denies. His flight to Spain was canceled abruptly on Wednesday night."

you'd think a prominent news outlet like the New York Times might mention that "antifa" isn't an actual organization in a long story about antifa, but nope!

and the subhead helps props up a false claim this professor was up to something seedy as something up for debate

More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.

Let’s be very clear about what the future holds. They’re going to kill a lot of ordinary Americans for speaking out against the regime.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

Getting a 404 on the link

of course this has no real basis in modern history, which has demonstrated over and over again that bigotry is a luxury. bigotry is a waste of human potential that you can only get away with when you're *not* in a life or death struggle with an enemy "hellbent" on destroying you
