Young old dude. Retired, living in the woods on a lake. I will be fine but I'm watching with horror that people voted for a bomb throwing narcissist rapist traitor for president.

Yeah we are headed into the abyss. I've supported Democrats, Equality, Labor and the environment for 40 years. We as a nation have screwed it up every time. Reagan over Carter. Clinton. Bush over Al Gore. Obama over himself. now Trump twice.
We are a greedy selfish short-sighted ignorant people.

When Charlie Kirk died, MAGA leaders promised it would unify the base, while rallying millions of previous skeptics to the fascist cause.
Neither has happened.
Even better, Kirk's death is causing MAGA infighting that is tearing at the seams.

The Junkers 88 (1936) evolved into the most versatile aircraft used by the Luftwaffe during the Second World War. It served on all fronts in roles including bomber, heavy fighter, reconnaissance aircraft and night fighter. Over 14,600 were produced.

Hard for me to say how this is different from Fox News's entire business model, except that it's less sophisticated. This is transparently and obviously bad — and Elon should ban these accounts — but the spirit here of trading rage for money is pretty much a lot of right-wing media.

The Heritage Foundation, after its founding in 1973, quickly became “the most influential think tank in America,” Peter Wehner argues—and it’s “as good an institution as any in which to study the intellectual and moral decline of the American right.”
The Intellectual and Moral Decline of the American Right
The conservative backlash against Nick Fuentes has yet to challenge the president who had him over for dinner.

It’s bizarre that media keep reporting that the trouble Larry Summers now faces is because his close ties to Epstein have been exposed rather than because the emails clearly show Larry is a sexual predator who admitted to attempting to use his university position to extract sex from a student.

Minor point but George Washington didn’t even hang the Whiskey Rebellion conspirators after they were sentenced to death for actual treason.
The President’s call for the murder of Americans is simply un-American. When I say there is no place in our country for political violence, I mean it. It doesn’t matter who says it or why. There is no justification. Every American should condemn this in no uncertain terms.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Were I a pettier person (ahem), I would take some pleasure in the fact that, despite their titanic efforts, no one really gave a shit about Kirk or took up the offer to make him a martyr. Instead the RW vultures, most notably his *own wife*, immediate descended & started picking over the remains.

What’s so pernicious about this is that science works by testing a hypothesis (call it H1) vs the null hypothesis (H0). The burden of proof is on those asserting H1 as correct. This gets our standards of proof completely backwards. This is an attack on the very foundation of scientific epistemology.
