I really disagree with your description of Stephen -- which I assume he wrote himself. Stephen is the canary in the coal mine. He is a social commentary leader, and is very successful at showing us our feet of clay. Portland people can have his food and drink recommendations. I'll take his angry young man.

As we are all self-declared kings (or queens) now:

I hereby decree that anybody ... absolutely anybody ... who uses the words "both sides" un-ironically, shall be executed on the spot, without trial.

Fuck off, Dersh-bag.

Oh, poor thing. Your fancy-smancy holiday in the Vineyard was ruined because people have decided you are a dick. Boo. Radley. Hoo.

Maybe more people would be receptive to Alan in the Catskills.

I saw a thing earlier where Dershowitz was saying that having people shunning him didn't bother him or affect his life one bit. But if that's true, why bring it up? Because he's an attention whore. And that bit about living through McCarthyism doesn't make much sense, because he wasn't even in high school when the worst of it was going on. Again, it's all about him. No wonder he gets along with Trump so well

Wait? Everyone in lobster print pants on The Vin-yahd is taking orders from The Blessed Maxine? Listen, Al B. Darned Dershowitz, if The Hon. Ms. Waters deigned to appear at your pals' parties, they would hand her their cocktail glasses & ask her to go get them a refill & then go sit in the kitchen with the other help. Maybe you're just a turd who gets to whine about meanies in The New York Times!

Politics is based on values. Values aren't situational. If they were, they wouldn't be values.

I can only upvote this once. And I read the book!

If you defend the indefensible, it turns out there are consequences. Who knew?

Really, Dershwit? My son and friends were driving through Tennessee only a short few years ago, stopped at some Waffle House right off the interstate, and the racist waitress refused to serve them because one of their party was black. I shit you not. So if you are worried about someone giving you and these other shitheads a piece of their minds, this is mine. Go fuck yourself, or we'll do it for you. The bad way.
