Every high school English teacher I had would have ripped up my paper immediately if I mentioned Merriam Webster, and that was at a public high school in TN. How tf does WSJ dude have a job? ...Oh, right. Penis. And probably comes from money.
Thank you, Robyn, for this instructive and penetrating blog post.
Apologies if someone has posted this link. https://twitter.com/AndyKim...Andy Kim, who represents the 3rd district of NJ in the House, quotes many of his republican colleagues in their tweets from a year ago. Absolutely worth a read.
Neither of the two main stories in Robyn's post were there a year ago. Republicans knew how awful it was. Congressman Kim, calling BS on the GOP just by quoting them, knows how to campaign. (364 days ago he was on his hands and knees in the capitol rotunda with a trash bag. Knows how to campaign from a position of truth.)
Instead of admitting that their tacit support for the BLM riots might have opened the door for the Capitol riot, Democrats and the media decided to lump all Republicans in with the Jan. 6 rioters.
From the top:
1. I'm a registered Democrat.2. I supported the BLM protests, both in 2021 and in previous years.3. I am totally nonplussed as to how that "opened the door for the Capitol riot".4. I'm not lumping any Republicans in with the Jan. 6 rioters. Republicans are doing that all by themselves.
I've gained a lottttttt of respect for Kinzinger and Cheney. Sure they're heartless Rapublicans, but they sure are torching these fuckers on the way out the door. Liz's comments to Gym Jordan on Insurrection Day are priceless: Gym says some bullshit like "Oy, this is getting dangerous, we have to get the ladies out of here!" and tries to grab Liz's arm; she hisses at him "Don't fucking touch me. You did this. This is your fault." I'm surprised he survived the encounter.
They’re nothing if not utterly committed to bullshit and hypocrisy.

whatever produces above-market returns.
Rex Huppke: Still the only good reason to read the Trib.
Excellent question!
making it too easy for people to vote
What does this even mean?
The sober, methodical, dot your i’s and cross your t’s investigatory pace of Merrick Garland and of Robert Mueller before him is not working.

Oh, FFS.
We saw the zip ties.I hate to be a pedant, but no we didn't. We saw the flex-cuffs.
They aren't criminals, they're just people who committed a few crimes. Such as a little light treason.
I'm sorry - WTAF???

Please check my work. What did I get wrong?
Erm, I think I missed the time we overcame it?

The Gaslighting Only Party strikes again
Furious they brought the traitor flag in. I wish we had gone all Germany post WWII on that nonsense.
