The Republicans actually invented woke. No, really.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Honestly Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette would be better in the White House than Trump and Vampirika.

George was just trying to get to work.
ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.
This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

The jumping spider pet market is booming, particularly with women. And for many, the journey to spider enthusiast began as an arachnophobe.
Scared of spiders? Some former arachnophobes now are keeping jumping spiders as pets

So what if all the major inciting incidents of the Nazis met no mass reaction whatsoever?
There was another takeover of the Reichstag, with a different would-be dictator, where all the employees and workers just left and didn't come back and the guy was eventually arrested in an empty building.

Fox polling is literally the only (mostly) honest thing about Fox. Of course he hates it.
MacCallum: The recent Fox polling has 52% saying the economy is worse under this administration. Unemployment at the highest rate in four years.
Trump: Fox polling—it’s the worst polling. I told Rupert Murdoch to get a new pollster because he stinks.

I've seen about three thousand high toned warnings about ill mannered snark, but have not actually seen admonished snark. Some lack of sympathy, yes, but not cruelty and glee.
Which I think confirms why I stand where I do.

How many people was Epstein blackmailing? The list is vast.
1. Get them to the dinner party, with other notables.
2. Temptation is present, but not offered at dinner.
3. Some are interested, around for after party.
4. Temptation offered, explicit, no effort.
5. See who falls.
6. Blackmail them.
