I'm sure he needs to watch it to remember what he said. And, of course, to make sure Bari Weiss edited out any parts he said he didn't like.

A sobering and necessary read. The answer to their question--both my own answer and that of the NYT Editorial Board--is "Yes." The next question is what we, as a nation, are going to do about it.

When you're a Nazi, everybody to your left looks like a Communist. And, when you're a Nazi, everybody IS to your left.

Trump: "It looks like we're gonna have a Communist as the mayor of New York. But here's the good news -- he's gotta go through the White House. Everything goes through the White House. At least this White House it does."

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Here in the US, we're really missing the era where something like this counted as a political scandal...

They could get the band back together and revive Strikeforce Five. It would only be two of them at the moment, but give it a few months and I'm guessing Seth Meyers and John Oliver will be joining them. In this political climate, I'm not even sure that Fallon can survive...

PBS & NPR educated the masses… their funding was cut

Colbert rightfully called out a bribe… he was cancelled

Kimmel said that MAGA were working hard to say the Kirk shooter wasn’t one of them… he gets suspended

Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

The details surrounding the abhorrent shooting of Charlie Kirk remain unclear, but what is crystal clear is that political violence is a cancer.

This violence must have no safe harbor and must be condemned in all its forms and in all corners.

You're clearly just looking for an argument. And since I firmly believe that coalitions are important and that leftists, communists, and yes, even liberals are all needed in the fight at this moment, I'm not going to give it you. Enjoy the rest of your evening.

I don't know. Given the company she keeps, it seems unlikely that she'd have come into contact with either of those.

Forcing people into rigid categories based on your narrow ideology smacks of fascism. How about you fight fascists in your way and the rest of us will fight them in ours?

Ha! I hadn't made the connection but given how much I love that episode (and that Doctor) it was probably bouncing around in the back of my head. 😂
