If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.
Yes, Peter decided that the continued existence of our democracies isn't compatible with his desired level of personal freedom.

Apparently the emails in the Epstein files show that, not only did Bill Gates get an STD from his extramarital sexual activity, he was planning to give STD meds to his then-wife without her knowing:
In an interview with NPR, Melinda French Gates confirmed that she ended her marriage with Bill Gates because of allegations contained in the Epstein files.

From the famously "woke" Cato Institute: immigrants pay far more in taxes then they receive in benefits.

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

I think the #1 thing people who aren't freelance reporters don't understand about freelance reporting is how laughably bad the pay rate/hours worked is – you can pitch many publications and get published, make a few hundred bucks.
But to earn a living wage requires hours that do not exist in a day.

A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.
