well. this is the drink I was saving for the big moment--when things went right, when the world came untangled, when good news was ascendant. that moment hasn't come. but 100ish recipes in, the time is now. let's have death in the afternoon

gingerly, it does appear that some political reporters were sort of waiting for a stumble so they could lean into the "health questions" thing never mind that the questions are being exclusively raised by the dude's political opponents

none of the deployments in poland is secret. the dod issues press releases, with minimal effort you can see exactly what units are there and their missions are but I'd suggest if you see random humvees parked in front of a civic center and are wondering what they're doing, ask

I just can't get over how bad the "let's deport vietnam refugees" thing is. can you think of a single policy reason this makes a lick of sense? besides, of course, the obvious fact that it would make america more white--always a goal of this bunch

I think most non-journalists don't really understand how much abuse reporters get just for having their names on stories. the current climate of "fake news" and "enemy of the people" amplifies, legitimizes and weaponizes something awful that has been going on forever.

the standard play by accounts such as this is to act as though the suspension was out of the blue and arbitrary, rather than coming after the account launched a hate campaign against a children's hospital

ordinarily, an increasingly radical party might simply radicalize itself out of power. but the gop has laid a lot of groundwork in the last 20 years (gerrymandering, rules that make it harder to vote, plus of course the electoral college) that mitigate that
