Read this article/thread, and then think about how Servile Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Adelita Grijalva, because he's protecting Trump & his obvious involvement in the following crimes:

The perfect summation of Westbrook's career, unfortunately. He can actually use this to shorten his Hall of Fame speech.

I never heard of her until that controversy with Tom Cotton came up. CBS News has been dying a slow death since 2004. Hiring Bari Weiss is the morphine overdose. I'd be surprised to find the CBS Evening News still on broadcast TV by October 2027.

Two weeks ago, I read my first article about that possibility. I think it's going to be worse than the dotcom burst... but I am generally paranoid. So maybe, it'll turn out to be easy-peasy.

Even his so-called friends were ready for him to go away. They didn't need him anymore, and the longer he stuck around the more unsavory things people learned about him. He was addicted to prescription medicine and he was a sex tourist. I'll add "allegedly" for the decent white folks who read this.

a tweet by Dana Gould @danagould that says:

Thinking about Rush Limbaugh and how, now that he's dead, you never, ever hear about him. No one mentions anything he did.
Because what he did had no value.
It contributed nothing worthwhile to the culture. Nothing of lasting value.
He just made anger. Every day.
Rising, blooming & fading like a fart.
Then he died & was instantly replaced by a fleet of little replicas, farting fake fury five days a week.
Creating nothing of interest or artistic value to anyone.
Seriously, what an awful way to make a living.

A great piece that hasn’t aged a day since 1941.

Play the game the next time you’re in a room full of people. I’ve played it. I think for some people it’s almost a reflex. “Which one of you would call the Gestapo on me, and which would watch, relieved, as I was taken from my home in the night?”

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later.

I tell people that the problem is not coming up with ideas, I think of a couple dozen of them a day. The real problem is knowing which of the damn things is any good for writing up. Most of them are junk. I have to let them roll around in my brain a while to find out which is which.
