What really comes through in the birthday book and the emails is how many of these rich and powerful guys were amazed and jealous of how Epstein devoted his entire life to the rape and abuse of children while they could only dabble in it

On the other hand, New Yorkers: Just imagine having your very own Mayor Breen. Getting some ostensible boon from the White House and calling them "our benefactors".
This isn't a closing election argument, it's Vidkun Quisling explaining why surrender is better than resistance.

Reagan's approach to the world prominently featured two things:
1) Russian aggression bad, Western democratic alliance good
2) Free trade good, tariffs and other barriers to trade bad
Pretending it's the opposite is the sort of reality inversion only someone who rejects truth itself could buy.

If you ever feel bad about your prose style, try reading something written before WWI. It's like they were paid by the comma.

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

Wondering how health care works outside the US. If you live outside the US, how much time seeking or getting medical care is dedicated to rendering payment or working with insurance companies?
1) 95-100%
2) 90-94%
3) 80-89%
4) 60-80%

I’m tired of saving Trump voters from the consequences of their own decisions.
If farmers want a bailout, they should call their republican congressmembers and ask them to use their article 1 powers to get rid of the tariffs.

look we’re obviously going to bail out the farmers and I think there’s a reasonable case for doing it given that we’re doing the tariffs, since they are getting absolutely rocked by the tariffs.
but this is an argument for not doing the stupid tariffs.

The next James Bond film needs to have a crossover with Austin Powers and also a crossover with the Sid and Marty Krofft show "The Lost Saucer".
Also whoever plays Bond, Pierce Brosnan needs to do a cameo, but in the manner of Captain Pike in The Menagerie.

If you elect me President in 2028, I will personally guarantee that former Energy Secretary Chris Wright works in a coal mine. And I mean literally in the mine, not at corporate headquarters.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."

I find myself thinking about historian Robert Paxton’s 2004 definition of fascism far too often than I’d like these days. Note that these sentences were written back when Donald Trump was a NYC playboy libertine who donated to Democrats.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

The Supreme Court is not a legitimate institution. When a court has corrupted itself, and flaunts its contempt for the law and the judicial system, it ceases to be a court. I don’t know exactly what to do about that, but I do think that as a country, we need to recognize that and act accordingly.
Check out Justice Eddins’ complete repudiation of the Roberts Court here. It’s worth reading in full. It’s quite brave—and exceedingly rare—for a sitting judge to speak so candidly and scathingly about SCOTUS’ partisan contortions of law, history, and fact.
